In short: As good as ever
In full: Basic straight forward race - no frills, no complications, just turn up, pay your money, run and enjoy. The course is tough but not overly so, with some nice downhill stretches as well, and is now mostly on reasonably wide tracks. Not that overtaking was an issue for me this year - it was the problem for others trying to pass me as my lack of hill training this year really showed. This is not a race to do for the finish time, it's a race to do because you enjoy running :)

In short: Good as always
In full: Excellent as normal. Challenging two laped course. Well worth turning up for - can even pay on the night. Well done Finch Coasters.
