It is a great course. Organisation is good and the support makes a nice change. A lot of the races I do are country routes where you only get the odd supporter apart from the start and finish.
Weather was fantastic too, although not as picturesque as the snow last year.
All good then.... apart from my first ever DNF. 
My knee was hurting most of the way round. I managed to ignore it and was on for a pb but just before 7k I was limping and could barely run without a sharp stabbing pain. Thought it was best not to carry on and possibly put myself out of the rest of the season so stopped.
I know I did the right thing but still feel gutted about it.
