In short: 2nd time round just as good!
In full: I do love this race!
Scenery is fantastic, ideal distraction from any aches or pains ;-D
Water/sponge station appear just when you needed them.

This year, we had a close encounter with a horse. A little startling but all the more special and memorable!
People very friendly, and great spectators around the course.

Although the Fleet Half may be everso slightly easier, New Forest wins everytime, hills and all.

In short: Still smiling - loved it, great race even with the hills!
In full: Was quite worried about the hills but the scenery/course really does keep you going - great race! Even had horses cheering us on at one point, glorious. LOADS of water/sponge stations. Only one near miss with a car.
Missed the Hog Roast :o( ...but my new PB more than made up for it!! see ya nxt yr :o)

In short: Challenging race, but let down by bottlenecks and terrain
In full: Some challenging hills, but unexpected stiles and other obstacles on-route made it difficult to keep up a good pace. The narrow paths also made it difficult to pass runners. Plenty of water-stops, and helpful marshals. Very much a family run (if you take out the steep bits)! :o)
