In short: Toughest conditions I have ever run in, but the scenery and friendsly faces were worth it!r
In full: The weather was bitterly cold and even two layers of clothing did not help much! Still it was enough motivation to keep going in the (vain) hope of warming up. Struggled with a painful hip and knee from mile 3 so ended up 6 minutes outside my PB. The course is challenging with a few hills but will definitely return. The scenery is beautiful and a special thanks to the marshalls who braved the cold! The New Forest ponies were a special treat, couldn't keep up with them! Travelled to Downton on my own and found everyone very friendly. Even made a few friends along the route and enjoyed a chat over a warm cup of coffee and bun after the race. Showers at the leisure centre were not great though... Other than that, hope to return next year.

In short: Second time I have done this race and this year I knocked off 17 minutes off my PB! Love the scenery and even that dreaded hill will not put me off doing it again.
