It rained one hell of a lot, and was one of those moments when I really wondered what the hell I was doing.
The course can be described as fairly boring and is 4 loops round the raceway, but it makes a great flat and fast course which is exactly what I wanted.
The good:
- I got a PB - I finished in 59minutes & 33 seconds.
- Great atmosphere from everyone despite the weather
- One aid station (that you passed 4 times) with water and fruit available
- Medal (albeit small)
- Cheap entry fee (£10)
- The bag drop was a random van outside so everyone left their bags in the pit garages
- Not a lot of marshals on course, one actually sat in his car for the whole race
- We were advised to follow the white race line and this was actually over 10k, due to lack of marshals you could actually short cut round the corners
- This race isn't organised by a club and I think that shows, however if they worked with a local club this race could be brilliant.
- I have never been so wet and cold in all my life!!
