In short: flat, foul weather, but potential for pb
In full: What else is there to say? Friendly plentiful marshalls, nice venue, flat course, except for up and down for underpasses, all on bike paths round lakes. Well organised, fairly quick results, plenty of loos, Good end of year blast, even though the weather was very wet and miserable.

In short: Bloody wind!
In full: A proper race again - cheap and a bottle of water at the end (as they all should be!!). Shame about the wind, but there you go..

In short: Very quick pace race, PB potential.
In full: This is the first time I have run this event and it pretty much lived up to expectation. Would like to thank all the race staff who were dotted here and there giving their support to everyone running. The weather today was very windy in places which made it a tougher but it is a very flat course. I'll be back next year to beat my time. :-)

In short: + Got a great PBCould have been so much more.....disappointed
In full: Very disappointed with organisation & marshalls. I'm not quickest of runners, but towards end marshalls had gone. Thankfully remembered which paths to run down.

In short: What no medal?
In full: Have run this race before and received a mug as a memento but to receive nothing at the end was a little depressing. And I mean nothing: no medal, no "well done", no chip timing, no warm hall with award presentations nearby. This is a fast course for club runners who just want to get out there and get their times. Fair enough, I personally prefer a bit more atmosphere. On the plus side, the results were published very quickly.

In short: Proper race - no frills
In full: Bit cold this year! Proper runners race, no goody bag nonsense, just a bottle of water. Went off too fast again - might learn my lesson next year!

In short: A fast course, very cold but the finish was a bit of an anti-climax.
In full: A race that I have done before and we normally bring a few runners from our club. A race clock at the finish would be a good improvement as runners before me asked me what time I had run it in as I happened to be wearing a watch! Not too bothered about a medal but just a bottle of cold water that you helped yourself to was all you got! Saying that, the entry fee was pretty reasonable and nice to get a decent 5 mile time before the end of the year. I'll probably be back!
