In short: A well organised race - hassle free. Beautiful weather if a little breezy. Those hills hurt! the 1st one more so. Lack of spectator support but this was helped by the encouraging marshalls. Would do this one again

In full: Really friendly race. Marshals excellent and very encouraging. Thanks everyone. First hill ok, second one not! This is a lovely part of the World (I live here). Definitely be back next year.

In short: It was such an achievement to climb the hills without walking!!
In full: Lovely weather and atmosphere, plenty of drink stations and the views were fantastic especially Belvoir Castle. The two hills were a bit of a nightmare but climbing them without walking (even though I was slower than the ones walking!!)was a real ego boost which spurred me on the rest of the way!!

In short: Those Hills!! I got a PB though so can't complain!
In full: It was a fantastic day for it - strong head wind but lovely blue skies to compliment the wonderful scenery. The two hills were killers and I had to admit defeat and walk them - but I still got a PB so went home with a smile on my face!
