In short: Great marshals - thank you. But I'm still cold after waiting 1.5 hours for the bus back! Shambollic!
In full: I actually quite enjoyed the race through scenic surroundings, and with friendly marshals. But the wait at the end was horrendous. I was really really cold, stiff, tired and hungry, and left to stand around in mud for an hour before being walked to a cafe for tea/coffee - when my money was in the car, so even that was not forthcoming! Had it been raining I think you would have had serious problems. That's no way to recover from a hard race. I too enjoyed the Nottingham-Derby race in 2010 where things worked smoothly. and - I don't need another T shirt but you did advertise one in the blurb . . . Get a grip!

In short: PB potential spoiled as course was over 5 miles
In full: I agree with previous comments about mismeasurement. My Garmin made it 5.16, and most of the extra mileage was in the first mile. Not a problem in itself but this would otherwise have been a good PB potential course.
Scenery was varied. The start/finish area and the barrage section were interesting but the route out and back to the barrage was very industrial.
Marshals were not very interested (many talking with each other rather than encouraging runners) but the weather was pretty and awful and I'm grateful to them for turning out.

In short: Beautiful scenery and good course. Queuing to get into Swansea was horrendous, even before 12.00s

In short: For "Undulating" read "Hilly"!
In full: Fantastic scenery and, yes - you did warn us about the hills. Very well organised thanks; marshals were great. Wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning.
