TL73, There was a chap with a microphone on the PA calling you to the start, although to be fair he wasn't that loud. In fact I'd say he was very quiet.
I entered it for a pb, was well on target until pulling up half way with a tightening calf, in fact I could have jogged the second half and still got one so it's a quick course although it could be tough if there is a wind blowing. I've done better races, the lack of support was ok, I can handle that, but the mile from the car to the bag drop and then km to the start was a nuisance. There are better value races in my opinion, especially considering the support from the numerous sponsors. I would possibly do this again, maybe with a friend to break up the monotony, at my relatively slow pace, aiming on a 1:37, it started to get strung out by 6 miles. Relatively well organised, seen worse, seen better. Did what it said on the tin, although you got economy baked beans at premium prices in my opinion, it turned in to little more than the feeling of a fast paced training run through the park.
