In short: A lovely little Race
In full: Well organised, good faclities, very friendly. An enjoyable route through the Dorset countryside. Was very hot and quite hilly in places, there was long flat parts too. But with the sun there was very little shade on most of the course. So with the heat and ills I found it demanding. But I still really enjoyed it. Thanks to all those involved in arranging and marshalling well done to you all. Would run this one again.

In short: Phew what a scorcher!
In full: Lovely scenery but the combination of intense sunshine, minimal shade and constant up and down didn't actually allow much time for view intakes. Glad there was the extra water station though! Have to be a bit cooler next time....

In short: Well organised. Undulating in places. My first time, but I'll be back.
In full: A nice scenic course with good marshalling and frequent watering. I'm glad the clouds hid the sun for most of the run as it was uncomfortably hot and sticky. The last set of hills was a bit of a killer.
