In short: Could have been so much better.
In full: When local runners didn't know where the start was, alarm bells started to ring. Getting my water out of a package on the ground at the first station added to a sense of disquiet. Playing 'chicken' with the cars when trying to cross the road, along with the heat, turned this from a potential pb day into a let's come off the pace and call it a hard training run. It's a real shame the organisation was so bad. To be told that water was being rationed at the finish felt bad at the time, but to have subsequently read that the water ran out is shocking.

In short: A friendly, scenic race. Hills make you think a bit!
In full: It's worth paying a bit extra for chip timing - but the entry fee still seems a bit like the course - fairly steep.

In short: A great race that asks questions of you.
In full: Don't be put off by the lack of PB potential. This is a testing course that takes you round some beautiful countryside and I really hope to be back next year. Thank you Hogweeds.
