In short: Why does the sun come out running up hill!!!!!!
In full: My first road race since 1994, and it was as hard as the reviews from 2010 had led me to believe. Course was fairly challenging, and wasn't helped by what appeared to be a vast change in temperture everytime the sun popped out.
On the whole glad I done it.... Very reasonable, well organised local event.

In short: A really good local road race.
In full: Where else can you get to run on a certified 10K course with smooth organisation for under a tenner. The medal was erm' a waste (I was more than happy with the water and banana).
One minor gripe was that it seemed to take a very long time to produce any results and I had to leave before the presentation commenced, although I had not won anything my club-mates had and would liked to have supported them, but most of them had left also.

In short: Good race, killer inclines!
In full: A great event which made everyone feel welcome! Killer hills in the first 2k but otherwise a good fun race on an all-tarmac course. Oh and nice medal too!
