2012 Quintiles Bracknell Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Weather was awful but loved every minute
In full: As usual Bracknell was friendly and well organised, felt really sorry for the the organisers after all the hard work they put in but the weather still did not quite spoil it. Marshalls are amazing as ever as well as the scouts with their wet sponges - not sure they were really necessary this year :-)Will be back next year

In short: Too hot please start it earlier in the day.......
In full: Having learnt from last year we parked and strode and got out really easily. Was very hot which is not the organisers fault but couldn't they start earlier? Oh my god the hills and agree about the return on the investment - not even a full size mars bar!

In full: I swear that big hill wasn't there last year! I really enjoyed this race even though I was a bit slow this time. The organisers are fantastic and the goody bag was great. No complaints at all - big thank you to all the volunteer marshalls and people at the drinks stations you are really appreciated

In short: Really well organised, 2 wave start obviously works
In full: This was my first time running bristol (my home town) and I was very impressed with the organisation. Everyone was great, the crowds, the marshalls, the volunteers at the end, the guys handing out the drinks. Not a PB for me went out too quick and it was a bit hot. Will definitely be back next year. Suggestion - get someone else to send out the packs next year!

2008 British 10K
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: I enjoyed it - got a PB so happy. Poor goody bag, too many people on a sunday stroll!
In full: I was lucky to only have a 10 min wait to get to the start and fortunate that I did not need the toilet! Yes chip timing would be good but cannot see how they could marhsall that many people into pens before the race. I just hope those people who walked -they won't be reading this anyway:-) raised lots for charity otherwise not sure why they bothered turning up!

2008 Saab Salomon Forest Trail 10K, Swinley
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: ok I'll start, Lovely scenery, can't fault the organisation, great goody bag, shame I got lost.....teach me to follow a man!!!
In full: In hindsight it was definitely better than sitting at home with a nice cold glass of wine watching eastenders... just! It was a hard race and the weather wouldn't have helped anyone's pb. Organisation was spot on I thought... somehow I got lost though in a world of my own following the man in front, however a nice man on a mountain bike put me straight eventually but ended up running 11k!!!!

In short: really enjoyed it, great organisation, lovely crowd - be back next year
In full: Cant fault it - even the weather didnt dampen the enthusiasm of the spectatators dotted about over the route. Quick first half - second half not quite so quick but hills not as bad as aniticipated. Thank you to string vest man for helping me through the tricky 6-9 mile stretch
