In short: Great Stuff!
In full: A fantastic event, the organisation was brilliant, the course great (although I thought that it was going to be flat!!!), the marshalls and crowds perfect.
The oranges at the end were the best I've ever tasted!
Smashed my pb, even though I could hardly walk at the end.

In short: Excellent race, first class organisation
In full: Excellent organisation.
Pleant of marshals and police support.
Next to no traffic on the roads that were open.
Very scenic.
Lots of water and sponge stations.
Excellent base & fruit and water and the end was welcome.
Momento was first class.
Other races should look and learn!
