In short: Rather average but PB potential
In full: I like Friday night races so this was a positive. All in all though I found the race a bit disappointing - no encouragement from marshalls, repetitive scenery and only a cup of water at the end. Good training run though!!

In short: Regular event but new organisation and course were not up to previous standard.
In full: The new two and three quarter lap course was held entirely inside the park due to some local counciller complaining that we ran outside on the roads before (we actually ran on a very wide grass verge and pavement), but the new course was less interesting. Also, the first time ever that Cov Godiva races have NOT given a tee-shirt to finishers. In fact, we received nothing, even though the entry fee was unchanged. Come on organisers, don't treat us like this.
