In short: where were the marshalls??
In full: Standing on the start line dodging cars when an official saunters up , no announcement, enjoys his hooter blowing moment and we are off. Hot , hot hot, hilly beyond belief, pleasant to look at but what was that smell ? Rural I can cope with but too much on a hot day. However, I entered and was determined to give it a good go. The main feature lacking was any sort of interest from the very few marshalls. Water stations unprepared, unless I waited a few minutes... when you are as slow as I am , no minute can be wasted, but boy , I needed that water. Lack of signs or marshalls on the course, I had a debate with another lady at the top of a hill as to which way to go as it was not signposted, luckily we chose the right way or we could still be out there ! I think I finished as the 'finish' line was so low key , it was almost non existent !

In short: great marshalls !
In full: Driving rain all night before made me dread this run, but whilst it wasn't tropical, it was dry and warm. The organisation was slick, the race director walking around with a loud hailer giving info, but the marshalls on the route made the day. Encouraging but not patronising, very upbeat, even through the wooded mudbath and flooded roads. They made me feel like an elite, when I very clearly wasnt. Thanks guys. The shot glass memento was charming.

In short: Cheeky little inclines but downhill 2 k to home!
In full: The race commentator was good value, very plummy yet reminiscent of Stuart Hall of 'It's a Knockout' (for those old enough to remember!) Great atmosphere , lots of banter on the start line varied scenery - urban to rural,and undulating! I enjoyed this and a PB too !
