2011 Welsh One Day Ultra Marathon Series - Round 1, 30 miles, The Black Mountains
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: An amazing race which will push your limits who ever you are!
In full: Not a race to be underestimated. Superb organisation with excellent marking throughout the 30 mile and a bit route. The extra bit at the end had me spitting fire swearing i'd never do it again! Nevertheless I'm looking forward to round two.
Painful but brilliant race can't recommend it enough!!!

In short: Ok but not great!!
In full: First time I've competed in a multiple lap race and didn't particularly enjoy it. However very nice setting and enjoyable drive to Blenheim palace!
The event had a very clubby feel to it, i'll give this event 5/10 and doubt i'll run this event again.

2011 Devils Chimney Chase
| | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: A few hills to test the legs then get ready!!
In full: Very enjoyable race, first time i've wanted to walk in a 10k ever but was chasing a pb. Plenty of ups with a fast uneven downhill sprint to the finish, certainly gets the blood pumping and adrenaline flowing.
Managed to beat last years time so will be back fitter next year hopefully.
I'll book early next year as this race is getting very popular.

In short: Great scenery, Good Value, Enjoyed almost all of it.
In full: Absolutely stunning views of Goodwood racecourse made this race for me, you basically circle it on route.
Such a shame the route was so poorly marked this really needs to be addressed as its not the first year its been critised for this reason. I ended up running 29 miles and stopped another bunch of runners from the same mistake all because of poorly positioned directions.
Would I run the race again? Well the answer is definately Yes! but only because I know the course and its Glorious!!
