← The Maverick inov-8 Original Somerset

A tricky one this. I loved the route, loved the scenery, loved the runners and as always the Maverick team were excellent. Overall I had an amazing morning. However a few bits to note...

  1. The road we had to run across twice is busy, like really busy.
  2. The only toilet at the start broke an hour before the race and refuses to flush... eek.
  3. A local farmer was very irate and his cows very upset by us charging through the field and started removing signs and sending people the wrong way (this was mile 2)
  4. It was advertised as 10km. I have learnt to take Maverick distances with a pinch of salt but I clocked 13.3km which meant my pacing was a little shot.
On the last point I would’ve happily as signed up if advertised as 13km, just would have paced differently.

I will be signing up for a bunch more Maverick runs next year, they are fab.
