In short: Great race in great surroundings!
In full: I really enjoyed this and will definitely do it again next year! I love the tech tee, too.

One comment, though, to the marshall at the finish line. I sprint finished and crossed the line at 5.56mm. Coming in so fast meant I overtook the lady in front of me after the finish line. This resulted in me being chased and barked at about staying in the right order that we'd crossed the line in. Well, I'm sorry but at that speed I can't just stop instantly, as I explained to you. You didn't need to tell me THREE times to stay in order!

Aside from that, I had a brilliant time. Well worth the 4 hour round trip! Well done on a superb race!!

In short: Fantastically varied challenging canter!
In full: Great mix of surfaces and terrain, hills, mud, canal paths, grassy tracks, tree tunnels, roads and fields. Lovely summer's evening event, well organised and friendly. Very highly recommended!
