In short: My first 10k race. I live right next to the route and I trained on it as soon as I heard about the race, BELIEVE ME, WHEN IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR A WEEK CONSTANTLY, THE ROUTE CAN GET TESTING!!

In short: A lovely race on a glorious morning in The Chilterns
In full: Fantastic race in a beautiful setting. Very hot. It would be nice to do it in the rain!
It would have been useful to have a baggage drop-off even if unatended.
