AlexJames I have a tendency to go off far too quickly and was determined not to do the same again. Was bang on 8 min mile pace for the first 5 miles which i was happy with though kept hearing other runners talking about the dreaded Spring Hill and wondered how i'd fare. I needn't have worried. Although my pace significantly dropped, I was pleasantly surprised to find that i had plenty left in the tank after passing the crest of the hill (and lots of angry motorists!). I allowed myself half a mile to catch my breath and then returned to 8 min mile pace. I usually struggle in the last 3 miles, but to be honest other than mile 10-11 I felt strong all the way round. Came home in 1.46.31 - a PB by over 10 minutes!

Boycie Currently back on the road to fitness - my half time should be in a position to go!!! 8 weeks of good training behind me, definitely worth a punt!!! Great run - finished 20th!!! The hills slowed me a little - but not as much as the others! Went through half way in 39.40 - 2nd half with the big hill slowed me down, but then ran 18.40 final 5k! Well pleased!!!

Dowsey Well organised race. Excellent weather. Good scenery. Pockets of support in places. Great medal. Fast publication of finishing times. Everything is relative but I managed a PB which I was not expecting. Although Spring Hill is tough the downhill approach to it keeps you ticking along before the uphill drudge. Quite happy.

Lexo Am begining to really warm to this race ..Its a deceptivly easy first half but if you over run it you get clobbered on the hill at half way and its still one of the toughest halfs ive done.Well happy with my time today, knocked about two minutes of my PB and 7.5 off my time from last year very well organsied although a few Kamikazi Cyclists and cars on route!!! The hill is still a toughy and knocks the wind out your sails. Will hopefully be back down for this next year though as its creeping up the list of my favourate races!

Maclennane Nice race. Good to meet ScoobyDan and ShinTwigs, and a real fillip to see monkex's Fetch shirt spread out at the top of the first climb. Oh, and an incey wincey bit chuffed with a big PB.

nickf didn't think i would get a pb given the hills, so really pleased. now have to run faster at paddock wood in april! certainly felt drained afterwards, probably because my training hasn't been that good.

Rapid Snail Much improved organisation than the shambles of 2006 when I last ran this...marshalls were terrific. Ran this at marathon race...legs could probably have carried on for another 4 or 5 miles and was very comfortable from a cardio point of view.

Runningmachine I'm treating this as a slow training run following my hernia op on 6/2/09.
