TRO Saracen Feb 2010 1:04pm, 19 Feb 2010 3,869 posts	0 TRO Saracen Lovely lovely friendly race where my marathon PB and successful sub 3:15 attempt happened in 2008. No hills, some slight undulations that actually help (utter utter pancake flatness can be very wearing as your gait never varies). It was breezey; however on what would have been a hot day this may have had some advantages in keeping cool. It did get a bit lonely; think we had 120 odd runners and you can spend a lot of time later in the race running on your own. However being such a small race all the hassles and complications of a big city race are not a factor and for me this was a huge help in having a good race and time. Thoroughly recommended from this viewpoint anyway!
