A good race to tick off the list. A bit unique in as it was more of a trail run half. The conditions on the day were awful. The winds were so strong, even blowing the portaloos over with people in them. With the course going through and under a lot of trees the organisers could have easily called it off but decided to carry on. Luckily the weather did get better (for a while) so the right decision was made. Although set in a lovely area, the course did switch back on itself a number of times and the last section through a housing estate felt a bit odd. That being said, a few very muddy sections off road did make for a challenging course. Also I liked the unique water stations with the biodegradable water capsules. They worked well once you got used to them. Wasn’t to keen on the bling. No medal but a slate coaster. I know they are trying to be environmentally but would have preferred a medal to a t-shirt. Overall a good race but not necessarily one at the top of the list for next year.
