In short: Overall a day to you will never forget
In full: Excellent race and the crowds were unbelieveable. Shame the shirt was not a Technical one and also why not give them out with our race numbers in the size you require not everyone is XL!!!! The water bottles crushed under foot but not the Lucozade bottles did not! The DLR for Blackheath was a nightmare the platform changed 4 times and not a train to be seen it took me nearly 2hrs to travel from Euston.
But the good news is that I have already entered for next year.

In short: Excellent from start to finish
In full: Very well organised from parking to the excellent goody bag at the end. plenty of marshalls on route. No queues for the toilets. Free admission into Exbury Gardens on such a glorious sunny day. Just wish the race was a bit longer still I will put this race on the top of my list for next year!!

In short: A scenic course but organisers could do better
In full: The new start was in a better position this year although the starting area needed to be taped off to seperate runners and spectators. Also more signs needed or a marshall to direct cars on leaving the estate as most people drove around the estate and onto the course before finding the exit second time around.

In short: 10 hills in 10 miles
In full: Originally disappointed that the start was changed from Monacute House, But how wrong I was the new starting point at Ham Hill Country Park was excellent well done to the organisers and a extra couple of hills as well. Many thanks to the marshalls standing around in freezing conditions and The Prince of Wales for the hot drinks and butties.
