In short: Glad I did it, but maybe not the best first 10k
In full: I'm very glad to have finished the race, but in retrospect this was not the optimum race for a first-10ker. The course is a fairly challenging route through Tidworth Camp and around the edge of Salisbury Plain, including an ascent of Sidbury Hill (660 feet). The weather did not help: rain overnight had made the course very muddy and soft underfoot, and there was a high wind in places. However, on the plus side, I found other runners very friendly, and cannot speak highly enough of the soldiers who manned the waypoints who were consistently cheery and encouraging. And there was a real sense of satisfaction in having got around.
