In short: a good race along one of the best sretches of beach in england. Only thing I was disappointed with was the offical timings system being up to half a minute from actual race time and the storage facility on the bus

In short: Great scenery, good course but poor organisation. Too many races in the same place, badly run water stations and the minor roads should be closed. The wind and hills in the lst 4 miles were tough but the atmosphere was good and overall worth doing.

In short: First class. A very special thanks to the Marshalls.
In full: First 8-9 miles great, then the wind came and it made an easy, flat course, feel like an uphill struggle.
Wouldn't have missed it for anything. Very enjoyable, roll on next year.
