In short: It's the little things that make all the difference
In full: Yes, it's a fast flat course with PB potential (if the wind stays away), but some things about this race I just can't really forgive. The start, for instance, was a bit of a shambles - why start the race on a running track and then cram the start line into HALF its width? Ruined several people's PB ambitions right there. Then the positions of the mile markers was frankly laughable. I'll take my Garmin if there's a next time.

I could make other criticisms regarding the "value" of the race and post-race memento relative to the entry fee, and the laborious registration procedure, but I'd like to keep it quite constructive. As it's a HRRL race, I'll probably end up doing it again, but I'd like a significantly improved experience next time.
