In short: Much better organisation
In full: Far better than last year, large but fairly fast moving toilet queuse.Just got a pb but the course is largely uninspiring so may give it a miss next year.

In short: Faultless,again !
In full: My second go at this race and again it was brilliant. Finished with a smile on my face which grew bigger when I saw I had taken 5 seconds off my PB!. I'll be back next year.

In short: Shambles
In full: Sending out chips with race numbers would have saved a lot of queueing. The finish was awfull, surely a few twists and turns around the industrial estate would stop the need for the dragged out affair we had. There was plenty of water on the course and at the finish and the medal is nice.

In short: Very hard but brilliant
In full: I guessed there would be hills by the name. Stunning scenery and excellent organisation. ( Loved the 'Terminal 5 ' sign at the bag storage ) had to be towed out of the car park at the end but this could not have been helped and didnt spoil the event at all

In short: Doubtfull at the start but loved it!
In full: After the delayed start and the rather congested first couple of miles I wasn't expecting too much but I loved it and perhaps the mud and small rivers added to the enjoyment! Thanks to all involved in organising it.

In short: Glad it's over!!
In full: Furthest I've ever run and the last 3 miles were terrible but after a couple of hours (beers!) at home and a bit of hindsight I think I thoroughly enjoyed it . Thanks to all involved in organising / marshalling.
