In short: Fast flat course.......just a shame it was 65m short!!
In full: Great conditions! Great organisation!! Great stadium finish! Great to get a PB........until I saw the results in Athleticsdata. How frustrating! Has the course changed? has it always been short?

In full: Good PB Course especially as the wind held off but Mountbatten Centre was chaos. Looking forward to next year but move to Sept better not clash with Overton 5.

In short: Well organised race, blessed by perfect conditions.
In full: Overall this race was well run. Parking was a little hectic but understandable given concurrent activities in the Mountbatten Sports Centre. It is considered that notices displayed along the promenade would inform locals of the fact that a race is being run so that they can ensure that loose dogs and children do not get caught up under runners feet.
Course lends itself to PBs and is ideal for first time competitors.

In short: It's all about the PB!
In full: The weather was just perfect and the course is flat so what more can you ask for, especially in December! I hope many people got a new PB this year. I knocked 68 seconds off my PB so I had a great day, see you next year in September :)
P.S. Would prefer chip timing (even with the extra expense) as it always makes a race seem far more 'official' and important.

In short: A perfect race!
In full: For some reason, I've never done well here but inspired by the superb weather and my friends in Victory AC, I ran a good PB. I too was surprised when we didn't hit the cycle track earlier which may have shortened the race slightly but I don't care, I would have got the PB anyway.
