In full: Thanks to all the marshalls who stuck it out in the horrific weather conditions. A well organised race and a short wait for prize giving.

In short: Gale Force Nine
In full: A really big thanks to Tony and his Team and the members of Deal Tri, who despite the horrendous weather still managed to put on an excellently organised race. On a calm day it will definately be a PB Course.

In short: Gosh that was windy
In full: Great race, as always. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL MARSHALS. It was wet, it was windy, hey guys, you wouldn't want an easy life would you. Really enjoyed it, the wind behind you was really helpful, but in your face it was another story entirely. Thanks to everybody involved.

In short: Excellant organisation, could fault nothing.
In full: Excellant event, organised to a tee. The Marshalls need a VERY SPECIAL thank you for being madder than the runners for coming out on a day like this.
Shame that on this occasion the weather was diabolical.
See you next year.

In short: Exhilarating
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed running this - wouldn't have wanted to run a longer race under these conditions but that was a great way to wake up properly on a Sunday morning! The rain driven by that headwind was a bit sharp but must have been far worse for the marshalls just standing around in gales and rain, but they were without exception cheerful and very encouraging. Thanks for a great morning!

In short: Flat course and by the sea. Extremely well organised by Deal Tri
In full: Most dreadful weather. Rain, strong gusting winds but the marshals were a cheery lot. Good turnout despite weather. Well done Deal Tri.
