2012 Llanelli Waterside Half Marathon

In short: Nice flat spring half with PB potential
In full: A few slight undulations but in my opinion this is a flat course with good pb potential.
Could do with some more toilet facilities as the queues got quite large and you don't really want to be stood queueing for half an hour before the run.
Finishers pack was a bit lame considering the price, although the trainer trophy was a nice change to a medal.
Getting out of the car park after the race took quite a while too, but the directions to the event from the motorway were good.
I will be doing this next year but only because of the new route and it is a nice run for the first half I do of the year.

In short: Well organised, fast course
In full: I thought the race was well organised compared to some of the others I have recently run. Knocked 4 minutes of my previous best time due to the course being virtually flat. I had no problem with the timing chip, there was noway it was coming off and still felt as secure at the end.
Nice t-shirt at the end.
Drink stations were well manned and nice to see some with energy drinks on too.
The price was the only set back but all in all a great half marathon imho.

In short: Hot, hard race in a wonderful setting
In full: The event was well organised and the support from the spectators and marshals was great.
The help from the children at the water stations and at the end was great to see.
It was a really hot day, so a PB would be hard to come by.
Quite a hilly course, and most of it was off road, had to be careful when running through fields as there were alot of rabbit holes, and there were alot of stiles to cross but the running through the scenery the route went through made it worth it.
At the finish there was a medal, t-shirt, powerade drink and a doughnut to make all the good work you just done worth while :)

In short: Good race, very well organised, but a little short of the full half
In full: Good race, good support from crowds, good scenery. The distance was a little bit short, I clocked 12.5 miles on my Timex which is normally accurate.
