In short: tougher than it appeared
In full: Good course, well organised for the actual race. Needed more info on parking before getting there. The ending of the race rather confusing. As it was also very narrow and the only way in and out the last runners must have felt a little deflated seeing people leaving.The wind made it tough this year but I would do it again

In short: Flatish, nice run, good organisation
In full: Well organised and co-ordinated, traffic well-organised, and even a marching band near the start of lap 2 (see, there are benefits of being slower!). Few inclines here and there, wind was a bit tough but then you can't account for weather! Lovely atmosphere, nice day out for my family too.

In short: Good, well organised event. PB course with appropriate training in the bag.
In full: Good, well organised event. PB course with appropriate training in the bag. Although the course is flat there are short inclines and the when the wind blows it seems to hit you from every direction.

In short: Strangely hard work despite being 'flat' and getting PB time, I thought it would be easier!
