I was surprised to find that you had to personally collect your race number and chip either on the Friday or Saturday before the race. This meant that there was no chance of me travelling down to Brighton on the day and made the logistics more complex and the event more costly (though I stayed in a great B&B in Shoreham-by-sea).
That said, the organisation of the number collection was good and went smoothly.
The race itself was great. The route was nice, not too many hills. There was a lot of support along the route, plenty of aid stations, enough music and variety of scenery and the weather was lovely :)
