2011 Les Witton Memorial Dartford 10

In short: Great race again!
In full: Thanks Dartford for another good race - the change of date was perhaps no bad thing for you as the weather definately warmer and there looked like similar numbers of runners (was there less club runners than there would have been in Jan? Not a problem either way, but looked like lots of people training for LM so timing may have been good for them). Road closures and cones on busy roads really helpful and as always, the last hill is tough!!!

In short: excellent race
In full: a great day out, park and ride worked well (thanks to the buses for picking us up from the finish - thought at one point we might have to walk to preston park!), spectators fab, nice to see other runners on the out and backs. only niggles were I think additional water stations might have been helpful, I saw at least two people collapse due to the heat both out on the power station loop. bit hillier that I thought, but was a great day out!
