In full: My first 9 mile race ... usually only do 10K or 1/2 marathons.
Very pleased with time of 1h 16m ... especially as it was so hot.
Good to see people with hosepipes ! Very much appreciated.
Goody bags? What goody bags? Didn't know there were any.... I was pleased with my medal, bar of choc and banana

In full: Very enjoyable race. Interesting course - not too hilly (seemed to be more downhill bits than uphill bits!!), lots to look at on the way round and well supported with marshalls etc.

In full: This race was very well organised, its just a shame there wasn`t enough goody bags for all runners, Thankyou to all marshalls for your support on route especialy those at the water stations, despite the recent wet weather this was a very hot day, well done to all those runners who wanted to get under 65 mins with me, I enjoyed your company as my running buddy is injured @ the moment, see you all next year.

In short: Very enjoyable. My first 9 mile run. Made very welcome. Only small gripes are I'd have been happier with water bottles rather than cups and somebody put a massive hill at 8.5 miles!!
