In short: a tough one - but a good one
In full: This race batters you into submission by starting up a long steep hill & doesn't give any respite until the end when you get to tumble down the same hill. A great race designed by some sadistic Lancastrian!!

2009 Thirsk 10

In short: I didn't realise I was entering a time trial!!
In full: I congregated on time before we were 'walked to the start' But due to the fact that only 2 people could cross the racecourse at once, by the time I reached the start the field had left.
Due to this, there were slow runners being bumped and fast ones wasting energy dodging them.
This was rubbish, the race isn't just about the fastest few, there were 1000 runners who all deserved respect.(How did they know I wasn't a potential winner anyway?)

In full: What's an extra 1.5 miles in scenery like we had here? The organisation was apart from the obvious excellent and the pub 100 yards from the start was even better!
