In short: PB written all over it. Excellent organisation.
In full: Great t-shirt & medal. First class organisation. Few more toilets maybe? But then you could put on a toilet for every runner & we'd still moan! As fast a course as your likely to get without starting at the top of a hill & running down for 10miles. Parking is challenging round there but not much the organisers can do about that. They even organised perfect weather. An excellent revision of an old classic (in shortened form). Would imagine the 20 to be a great race too, maybe next year....

In short: Definitely PB potential
In full: Wonderfully scenic route which was mostly traffic free. And it was flat! I usually find that when organisers says its flat they are a little economically with the truth, but this one is. Def PB potential and I recorded my first PB of the year. Very well marshalled with lots of signs.

Good value and nice touch with the t shirt. Only down points were parking and small number of toilets, oh and it would have been nice to have a banana or mars bar at the finish. Next year I will remember to bring something to eat for the end of the race.

In short: Great course & marshalling shame about the presentations
In full: Great course & the marshalling was really good. Only gripe was that the presentations were not until 1530 - the top 10 miles finshed before 1130. Couldn't wait any longer as had a looooong trip home. Pointer for next year have the 10 mile presentations at about 1230 - 1300. & get the results put up on a notice board so people know if to wait around.

In short: Definite pb potential. Well organised, excellent running teeshirt freebie.
In full: Fantastic!! Well organised, friendly, well marshalled, good admosphere, very flat but in no way dull (lovely countryside route)pb potential course. Training tee not far off being worth the entry fee by itself. Well done Zoom Tri Club, you've done yourselves proud with this one. Keep up the good work.

In short: A great run.
In full: A flat, steady course. Amazing views - lots of cows and horses. Good marshalling and signs on course. Lovely medal and great t-shirt.
Unfortunately parking very limited and not enough toilets but don't let that put you off, course itself is great.
