In short: tougher than expected!
In full: Overall a decent race, but it would be a bit lonely out there with only the car as company! maybe another water station would have been good. I was a bit shocked at the hilly nature of the race, the website said elevation gain of 119m, my Garmin said 242m, a big difference, with this knowledge I would have paced better! so pleased to have finished albeit slower than expected but still satisfied due to tough nature of course.

In short: Hilly!
In full: Could have been better sign posted to get to the registration place. The race was well marshalled, a tough course, run through some lovely parts of the Island. Well worth doing, but like I said Hilly and did I say it was tough ??

In short: Great race this morning... a big thank you to all members of Ryde Harriers, especially the Race Director, all the helpers, marshals and the rowing members serving in the bar.
In full: A very very tough, but enjoyable course, apart from the last 3 miles which hurt like mad....
