2010 Bramley 20

In short: Great race ...
In full: Great run around Bramley - country lanes providing a good challenge and great pb potential. Really pleased with a big pb!
Highlight of the day was the woman in the car arguing with the police officer that she had to stop and wait for the runners to pass!Classic!
Not a fan of the bum-bag - prefer the medals at other races!
Always a great race and good test before Reading/London. Will be back next year!

2009 New Forest Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great race once again in glorious weather!
In full: A great race through beautiful countryside. Some tasty hills added to the enjoyment, so was very pleased to get a PB of 1h 34m.
Only downside (which I think is commented on each year) is the lack of any food/goody bag at the finish. I can only imagine the marathon runners who only received a cup of water at the end!
The free hog roast at the Old Barn pub certainly makes it all worth while.
Look forward to next years race!

2009 The Run '09 - Northamptonshire (10K)
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Good course, with some challenging hills. Organisation could be improved!
In full: A promising race was spoiled through a 45 minute delay to the start, followed by an unnecessary 30 minute wait in the car park before we were allowed out.
Race itself was good, with some fast times possible. Lots of drinks stations and well sign-posted with lots of marshalls.
Apart from the delays, a louder PA system would help the waiting runners know what was going on.

2009 Thames 10K

In short: Challenging, but great fun !
In full: A great new race in a beautiful location. Was sceptical at first of the multiple lapped course of Beale Park, but in reality this was good fun and made for an enjoable and different event. Multi-terrain was challenging on the legs, but course was generally flat and fast and I was able to achieve a good time.
Only improvements would be more toilets and a baggage tent.
Look forward to doing it again next year !

In full: Incredibly hot, but well worth the sweat and pain to get round this fantastic race. As enjoyable as last year, but with much more atmosphere with the start and finish in the Market place. Great organsisation, great medal and a free T-shirt! Already looking forward to next year .... !

In full: Glad the race was rearranged from February, but crikey it was hot ! Sapped all energy out of my legs from 8 miles when I had to say goodbye to a PB. Organisation was great, and appreciated the extra water stop put on.
