In short: A fantastic event that still gives me a buzz 2 days later - Well done to the organisers for listening to comments made in previous years. The changes that were made for 2009 were much appreciated !

In short: Does the wind ever ease off on this course ??
In full: This was my second 1/2 at Llanelli and I was pleased, given the conditions, to rack up a PB of 1.29.
Organisation was, as ever with these events, very slick - Well done to all the marshals who gave up their Sunday to get battered by the wind and hail !
If I have one niggle it is with fellow athletes. For the faster runners there was very little room being given on the final leg back to the finish with outbound runners typically running 5 abreast.
My clubmate and I changed and left within 10 minutes of finishing and got out of the car park quite easily but I can see how congestion may have become a problem later on.

In short: An improvement on 2007, still some organisational work to do...
In full: On paper the route looked a shambles but on the day the run was quite pleasant. The 'off-road' loop was nothing like as bad as I had feared and congestion was not really an issue after 3-4 miles.
Some extra marshals and markings would have made a big difference on certain sections of the course to prevent corner cutting.
Bag collection was a bit chaotic, this could have been very unpleasant (and potentially harmful) on a cold, wet day.
Hammered my PB so very pleased with the day as a whole.
