In short: Thoroughly great day
In full: I'm counting down until to the Berlin Marathon, so literally did this race for no other reason other than the fact I really enjoy 10k's. This race really didnt disapoint.

A thoroughly lovely race, only shame was no medal at the end (do like my medals!)

In short: Hot, hot, hot
In full: Enjoyed the race, the hot weather and salty sea air made it very thirst quenching, so luckily plenty of water stations(although some slow dealing with crowd).

Didn't enjoy the double lap, really tough seeing the end knowing you have to do it twice.

The loop proved mentally challenging, especially when you see lap two milage signs when on lap run.

Final mile lots of turns and twist's.

The positive of the whole race was the great crowd at the finish line. (ohh and some great marshals thoughout the course.

Although I've said i wouldn't do again, its purely down to the two lap course, but actually a good race otherwise.

In short: Hotand very hilly, but pure pleasure....
In full: my first half marathon,lots of 10k's under my belt. Was thrilled with my time.

My family were able to spur me on at 5 points which made a wealth of difference.

So, much hillier than 2008 reviews suggested, and a mental struggle on the tail back at finish.

Water stations, sponges, marshalls and local residents all made it a must for next year.

still wearing my t-shirt, medal on, soothing aching feet.

Happy 25th Birthday Bracknell half marathon...

In short: A very average race, although great organisation.
In full: The race at best was average, the queue for the foot tunnel was very annoying, a huge bottleneck leaving many people walking and probably added two minutes to my race time! Marshalling was super, very uplifting. a few not so pleasant locals calling out and heckling.
