In full: This event is definitely a winner. I can't think of another race that gives you so much variety. The start was bang on 10am and everything seemed to go like clockwork. Keep up the good work.
I'll be back in 2013!

In short: My favourite ever half.
In full: This was my 12th different half and my favourite so far. The countryside was beautiful, it was well marshalled and the challenge was enough to make you hurt without being unbearable. I by no means got my quickest time but I've never felt more satisfied crossing the finishing line. Proper Saturday morning workout!
