In short: Flat and fast but the same cannot be said about the organisation...
In full: Although our race packs were highly informative about the race course and start place, standing in a crowd of people near the International Pool not quite sure if we were in the right place was not a great way to start a run. The tannoy system was inaudible and frankly annoying as noone could hear what was being said nor indeed when the run had begun! Overall though I enjoyed the run and particularly liked the bit around the abbey as it such a beautiful area. There was no clock at the start so it was difficult to pace myself without indication of time (will be investing in my own I think!) but the KM markers were a big help. Thanks for an interesting run Leeds and hope that we all raised loads of money for Help the Aged.

In full: As my first ever race it was definitely a shock to the system. Uphill for first 2 miles was hard on the legs but once that bit was over started to enjoy the run and get into a steady pace. Shame there were very poor time markers...would have been great for us beginners! All in all a great little warm-up for next week's GNR.
