In short: It finally stopped lashing as I finished...
In full: Back to where I grew up so that my slightly infirm Mum could actually see me run. I echo all the previous comments about truly awful weather, fantastic and numerous marshalls and the wind tunnel in the lower part of Fairlands Valley which must have cost me a couple of minutes (still got a PB tho - shows how slow all my previous races were!).
I don't mind the scenery and will certainly be back in 2010.

In short: Improves every year
In full: I'm biased because I am local, but this race seems to get a bit better each year. It is fairly inexpensive and this year had electronic timing. The organisation seemed smooth and professional, although the atmosphere only existed at the beginning and end of the race.

In short: Looks like the preparation of choice for the FLM!
In full: As one of life's slow runners, I worried that there would be too many serious FLM participants. I needn't have worried, there were many who were much better than me, but a few who were just as slow.
I thought the start was a bit vague, the marshalling very good, the support sparse but enthusiastic and the finish a bit vague as well.
Overall, a good experience and thanks to the organisers and volunteers.
