← Windmill Remembrance Day 10K

A great 10k with a lovely flat course meaning it has massive pb potential. 

FCR events are always well organised and unlike some races are keeping their prices reasonable and their medals are always awesome. 

Registration was nice and straight forward and I had no issue collecting my race number. The silence at the start was very fitting and before we knew it we were off. Race was run on semi open roads but marshals did a great job making sure everyone stayed on the right side of the road. Felt a little busy at times but this didn't slow me down at all. Out and back course and one water station at half way. 

Pacers for all time abilities and the 55 minute Pacers were amazing, nice and chatty and bang on time - helped me get a new pb of 53.59! Little pockets of local support around the course with lots of cheering on the finishing straight towards the end. Only downside of the event was the handing out of medals and goodies at the end. Rather then being handed one at the finish medals were given out back near the registration desks and it was utter chaos. The organizers did apologise for this straight afterwards though and are looking to improve next year. 

Overall a great 10k, well organised for the most part, fantastic pb potential and good value for money - the medal was huge! Would definitely recommend.
