In short: Smooth organisation - fast and flat
In full: Nice race - easy to get to; plenty of parking (the distance from parking to start is good warm up jog, Simon!); plenty of marshals; flat, if slightly dull, course. Good PB potential.

In short: Should be a perfect 10k for speed being so flat.
In full: It's flat and fast. The rain was heavy at times but I preferred that to the extreme heat we had last year. Very well organised, lots of toilets, great goody bag, nice medal.

In short: Top goody bag for sweets (except for scary blue liquid).
In full: Shame about the weather but you can't blame the organisers for that. No effort was made to collect the time chips at the end- were we meant to return them?
