Pericles First thing to say is that this is a fantastic event - I can't understand why it isn't more popular with UK runners! An incredibly beautiful location, superb organisation, a carnival atmosphere, and a range of races to suit everyone. Gorgeous autumnal weather ... clear blues skies, and a slight mist on the lake. Really magical. Only two slight gripes are that the race thinned out (and many of the bands that were lining the route on the Out-leg disappeared on the Back-leg), and the published results don't, for some reason seem to give the Net time. So my recorded time is the Official time - the Net time should have been 9 seconds faster. I'm pretty happy with my own race - a PB by 3.5 minutes. I had hoped for a couple of minutes faster. The first half was incredibly easy (isn't it always?) - wheels started coming of at about 33km ... steady 4:19 per km dropped to 5:00 for each of the last five kms or so. Still, I seemed to fare better than anyone else around me: my splits were 1:31, 1:36 and yet I spent the whole of the second half overtaking people. The route was gently undulating, but I don't think this had much effect.
