In short: Rain paused just long enough to get us round. Fast but still challenging. Great opportunity for a 'year's best'.

In short: Fast course, 3 laps not as boring as it sounds
In full: Well organised, car park right next to the race HQ mean i could be on the road a matter of minutes after finishing. The wind made the race interesting, but it is definitely a PB-potential course.

In short: Weather was interesting and certainly blew away the cobwebs! Excellent organisation, very friendly. Managed a massive PB, so well worth the trip! See you in February!

In short: Sorry about the toilets.
In full: Getting a lot of comments about the toilets and just wanted to apologise. As organsiers, it was totally out of our hands - we were informed at 5pm the night before that the main toilets were closed for refurbishment. We had one set up open behind the cafe and another set were opened at 10am plus the ones in the cafe. Unfortunately the cafe toilets then got blocked too.
The main toilet block will be refurbished ready for the February Chilly, but that was of no comfort yesterday I know.

In short: PB course when not windy. No more, no less
In full: I have given the PB 100% as this is what it would be on a calm day. Strange but strangely enjoyable running round a race track (OK - who had car noises in their head) Yes it could be boring but it's only 3 laps, Would be far worse on a shorter circuit. Minor gripe - Chip collection could have had a few more helping hands although they did vary registration times to keep queues down. 1 toilet block open was a joke. Iwas led to believe that another one did open later. In all fairness I will hold back on my judgement of the organisers for this as this may have been the responsibility of the race track owners. Were they aware of numbers involved?

In short: A Little unorganised, plus more loos needed
In full: A good run with PB potential apart from the wind at the far end of the track!

In short: Generally good, with one major issue
In full: Let's start with the good bits. In general this is a really good event, well organised and efficient. Running on a racetrack was a novelty.
Normally I have no time for runners who moan aboput a lack of toilets, and think that they'd be better off directing their energies towards getting there in reasonable time. However, when you're travelling for an hour to the race 'coordinating' bodily functions is hit and miss, and provision is needed. In summary, there was ONE toilet for the 150 odd blokes in the race (badly signed too, with several 'false' signs). As a result I endured a massively uncomfortable last 3km where I had to virtually walk and any hope of a decent time disappeared.
This isn't an excuse - my own lack of fitness was the main reason for a disappointing time. However, such complete lack of provision is simply not good enough, especially at a circuit like this where facilities should have been plentiful

In short: Head wind prevented a pb run! (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to itt)
In full: Good organisation. Shame about the wind. It was the only negitive on the day. Everything else went smoothly!!
