In short: Very fast, nice course
In full: Cracking PB made this a good run for me. You can't actually get much flatter than this.

Good weather, good marshalls, good competitors... everything satisfactory!

Only complaint is that the "ID required" & "sniffer dog checked" baggage hold was actually an unlocked room with no lights which was already full of a load of junk.

P.S. Are the results on-line yet? An ARC champs event should really do this ASAP.

In short: Good fast and flat course, excellent organisation
In full: An excellent race once again from Thornbury Running Club. Lovely flat course as flat as a very flat thing that's just been ironed. Good marshalling and water stations. Somebody needs to buy the starter a new air horn for Christmas though :o)
