In short: Quick course, well marshalled, but start a bit cramped and tight at first bend.

In short: Enjoyed the race but the start was a bit confusing.
In full: Good race and on my watch I got a PB, but the official time was 30 seconds slower, which annoyingly took me over 50 minutes, which was what I was trying to beat! Seemed to take a long time to cross the start line!
