In short: Smashed 6 year PB at age nearly 50
In full: The only thing I could find to criticise is the fact that they ran out of coffee fairly soon after the end of the race. The refreshments in general could do with some improvement. Other than that well done on a good race.

In short: Mailing out the numbers and chips and more loos
In full: The start was delayed by 15mins because the idea of collecting your number and chip before the race wasn't staffed sufficiently to cope with a rush in the 3/4 before race time. Thus the queue grew and the race couldn't start on time. This led to more queing at baggage as folk held on to their kit to keep warm. There was also queues for the loos and doubling the number of portoloos would have been a big step forward. The weather conditions were near perfect, if we'd had the rain that was forecast earlier in the week, it would have made even a more negative impact on the race. Having said that the course is fine. It is great running up and down underpasses, but there's sufficiently interesting bits through the park. There are not really any big hills, although some of the undulation is quite hard on the legs towards the end.

In short: Challenging but rewarding race
In full: The main improvement could be in the information sent out with the race number. It doesn't even specify the race time. Doesn't given any info on whether there are showers etc. Other than that the course is hilly but interesting.
