In short: That hill oh that hill
In full: This race has got something special about it.
A lovely atmosphere starting and finishing on the grounds of a School with acres of sports fields.
This race pulls in the runners as it's the first race of a series of 5 across Suffolk and North Essex. whilst there were plenty of club runners there were plenty of non affiliated runners, a good mix I thought.
There is commentary as you finish which keeps the crowd and the runners that have finished engaged with what's going on.
You will never forget the hill on the last mile, remember the one you ran down at the start? well you'll meet again!
Congratulations Jaffa, i'll be back, that hill hasn't put me off yet.
