In short: First race for me and I loved every minute of it - honest!!
In full: This is a brilliant flat race and a definite for a PB. As it was my first race, I didn't go too mad but made it round in 1:38. Hope to run this again next year for the great atmosphere.

In short: First race at this distance - great!
In full: The day was cold with a stiff breeze. The staggered start was brilliant (the staggering finish was good too)! I loved the event's timing sytem.

In short: It was a cold awakening when we got out of the car but the warmth of the start made up for all of that. The race itself was great from my beginners viewpoint. I even did a PB - it was my first race but I beat the target I set. See you next year
