In short: Really enjoyable way to spend a sumer evening
In full: Great race and really enjoyed it this year. Not sure how, but managed to break my own PB for the course by 2 minutes despite the heat. Must have been the thought of the beer tent at the finish!! Great organisation and marshals and the extra water was most appreciated. As was the "gardening" that had been done to the route over the past week. Only down side was the lack of ice cream (for my daughter, honest!) but even this turned up by the time we crossed the finish line.

In short: Good way to spend a Friday evening - thanks Blakedown
In full: I really enjoyed the loop in the woods - even though the sand was really draining. I did not like the bottlenecks, although I don't suppose there is any way round this. Thanks for putting out extra water - it was needed as it was so warm last night. The river crossing was welcome, although if it had been a bit deeper it would have been better (maybe we could have swam in it!) Great atmosphere and very enocuraging marshals. Please, please could marshals not give out information unless they know it is correct - a very enthusiastic marshal told us that we were half way, so although I could not see a marker I decided she must know, so did my split on my watch - only to pass the 5k marker some time later. Even then, I thought that maybe it was a short course and she was giving good info - but then when I passed 9k and got to another marshal he told us that we had just over 1k to go! Confused??? Good range of BBQ and cake, and close to the railway station. Thanks to all who organised it.
