In short: Excellent race spoilt by the chaos trying to get away. In full: The race itself is always a pleasure to take part in, but the nightmare trying to get away afterwards was worse than ever. Surely it would be better for all concerned to get competitors to park up out of town, easing the traffic problems getting into Portsmouth, and making the get away more bearable. We were stuck on Southsea Common for the best part of an hour and did not move! For this reason I will consider carefully before entering again. That said, it would be a real shame to miss such a great race. Please, please sort this out. Date of review: November 9, 2008

In short: Congested start, many pushed past me to get near the front only to find that once the race started they were far to slow to be at the front. In full: Other than this frustration, aimed at the entrants rather than the organisers, I enjoyed the race Date of review: January 20, 2008
