In short: Well organized 3 lapper around Wimbledon
In full: Despite tough weather conditions this was a very good event. You start and finish on the running track taking in 3 laps of Wimbledon. Initially climbing up to the common and then droppping down past the All England Club. I did manage to PB but only because my only other 10 mile attempts have been on even hillier courses. The marshalling was very clear and they should be commende3d for sitting out in the rain for a few hours.

In full: Positives
-Good testing course. Long steady climbs with fast short downhills.
- good marshalling and two drinks stations

- Only one slight gripe is that the momento was a bum bag, very 1980's. I guess at least it wasn't a XXL T-shirt Given the choice a medal wins hands down.
