In short: Can't believe I waited 17 years to do it again!
In full: A tough day out on the Downs, with places for runners, joggers and walkers - and a very laid-back atmosphere. Ran the whole thing without looking at Mr.Watch once - and considering the distance-markers numbered one ("About half-way"), this was about scenery, slopes and sea-air, not minutes and seconds. A very satisfying race!
