In short: EXCELLENT BEST RACE
In full: ENJOYABLE BUT MORE OF A CHALLENGE THIS YEAR '06 AS I HAD EXPECTED THAT THE WATER STATIONS WOULD BE EARLIER, EXCERBATED BY HIGH TEMP. STILL BEAUTIFUL AND A PRIVLEGE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE PART.

In short: Well organised, worth doing and extra large socks!!!
In full: This is the second time i've done this race and the standard set for organisation is one of the best around, so I am never surprised that this race fills up THREE MONTHS in advance of race day and sales on ebay for entries hit the £60.00 mark.
The course itself is not flat as some people think and the gradual climb after half way can be a real test. Yet it is still possible to get a PB if you know your way around. The finish was a bit confusing with the goody bags being situated half way up the road.though the sleeping bag sized socks made an interesting conversation topic for the journey home [they make excellent dusters]. Nevertheless, will be back next year if I remember to enter in time.

In short: Great scenery, last 3 miles was hard , still managed a PB, particularly enjoyed the water and sponge stations which helped to stay cool.

In short: Not as flat as I was told it would be and heat made it a lot harder. Still a great race to do however.
