In short: Very well organised, great local support and a really useful T-shirt
In full: Really enjoyed this, organisation was slick, marshalls and spectators offered lots of support - the names on the bibs was brilliant. First half seemed more down than up. From a course profile perspective it has relatively little climb but some of those hills were suprisingly tough.

As someone else said a bit of marshalling in the carpark on the way out would have been good - got there early so was down near the portaloos, on exit I spent the an hour watching them take the loos down whilst the front half of the carpark cleared.

Looking forward to wearing my T-shirt during winter training.

In short: very undulation, tough in the heat
In full: The long start finish straight gives great atmosphere which is a big boost. The course is truely undulating with very little of it actually flat which was tiring in the hot afternoon sun - an early start would be welcomed.

The car parking was well organised getting in but getting out was diabolical! Yes I know a major smash on a nearby road didn't help but the carpark marshalls we doing nothing to organise the multiple lanes of merging vehicles in the car park itself.
