In short: No water until 6 miles.POOR SHOW FOR BIG BUCKS.
In full: First the positives.Great marshals, nice t and medal.
But my race was spoilt by a lack of water on a very hot day.Gave up on PB due to dehydration and just held on for finish line, which was about aquarter of a mile over 13.1.Unlike Arnie I Wont Be Back.
PS I feel sorry for all the hard work done by so many people that someones decision to reduce the amount of water available in previous years ruined the day.

In short: Same old problem
In full: A good 10k that is spoiled by the last 100m along the front of the school.There are always faster finishers on the pavement(route).Can the organisers not tape off the final stretch?

In short: PB making potential high
In full: I loved this run and got a new PB.The race was very well organised and mostly downhill. There was an well stocked goodybag,the soup and roll was a nice touch at the end as was the bar selling locally brewed ales.Will be back next year.
