In short: Long Hills
In full: Nice local race, the organization at the start could have been better, once i got past the first 1km, the course cleared up perfectly. Would have been nice to run in the park, instead of on the pavement. Will return next year to show those hills whos boss!

In short: Hills were scarey to go up three times, but fun to come down
In full: First race back from year-long injury, so challenging but fun. Hated the idea of three laps but once I was doing it, I thought it was a great idea, especially knowing what the hill was like. Marshalls were super friendly and encouraging, as were spectators, made a big difference. A bit of a pain to be restricted to footpath from the very beginning, made it a bit crowded. Watermelon was a great idea.

In short: Great to do a local race for once
In full: This race is very local to me so I simply had to do it. Except for the slight disorganisation at the start it all went well. That hill seemed longer each time I climbed it. It wasn't too steep. Just long (times three). Nice watermelon!

In short: Not bad...
In full: 3 laps of a course on pavement with a couple of hills (not too steep though). The course was marshalled quite well and the marshalls were friendly and encouraging.

Why were the souvenirs mug's not at the finish line though?

I would probably do this one again, but next year, I'll bring my own water!...
