In short: Better than average
In full: Some good scenery through the villages and an enjoyable track style finish together with excellent organization, facilities and atmosphere make this a race well worth running.

In short: Great organisation. The police also did a great job controlling traffic. A super opportunity for a new PB. I knocked 10 mins off my previous best.
