In short: if you wanna PB, you'll have to go elsewhere
In full: Nothing wrong with this race at all, but if you're looking for a fast time, look else where.
Plenty of single-file road running, some off-road sections, and a fair old hill at the end. And of course, a hot day is virtually guaranteed! Thankfully there are plenty of water-stations.
Nice finish on a track, with a fair atmosphere at the end.
Wouldn't do it again, because it was so punishing. But as a one-off, it's worth doing.
