In short: Very good as always
In full: Extremely well-organised and enjoyable race. Nice atmosphere, nice marshall, even nice car park people. If it was only a couple of days further away from the Knacker Cracker I might be able to run it without pain; but that is my fault really.

In short: best part of the festive season
In full: Got to 9k and felt quite sad, it was all over too quickly. Thanks to Dr Rob for another fabulous race, great hat and tshirt. And thanks to the nice bumble-bee for pulling me out of the mud I threw myself into.

In short: very well organised in the face of appalling weather and the postal strike
In full: this race is always much harder than I think it is going to be, even when the weather cleared up I was still struggling. Very good effort from organisers and marshalls, can't have been much fun,thank you.

In short: lovely atmosphere and marshalls make this race
In full: the laps really aren't that bad, it seems to make it easier if anything. The race is very differently organised to other races, but that is no bad thing. Just a very enjoyable experience because the people are all so lovely

In short: need to sort the organisation out
In full: I entered this before reading last years reports, then read them, and thought, oh well it must have got better.

Would have been better if: it had started on time, the distance had been correct (12.75), the people at the water station had been briefed on how much runners will need to drink, there had been another water station. I spectated at the tri the day before, and I suspect they use all their organisational ability on that.

In short: That really hurt
In full: It was beautiful, the marshalls were super (especially the lady at mile 8 who sounded like a crowd by herself), the jelly babies were vintage. But it hurt so much, all the leg-numbing mud, the leg-numbing ascents and leg-numbing descents. Back next year, and thanks to the man I drafted for the last 3 miles, without you and the jelly babies I would still be out there.

In short: A few more marshalls/volunteers would have made it perfect
In full: Part of the appeal of this race is that it is small and in a beautiful location, but a few marshalls to help with the parking on a busy road, a water station in the middle somewhere and a strimmer applied to the grass just before the finish (I know toilets would be difficult to acheive) would work wonders. Otherwise warmly recommended
