← Bridgwater Half Marathon

The 2016 Bridgwater Half Marathon was my first ever half so I came in without knowing what to expect. 

It started at the Morganians Rugby club and everything at the start was well organised. 

Once the race was underway the first mile was pretty congested (including a couple of cars as it is not on closed roads) but then the field spread out and everything was good. The whole course was reasonably flat with just a couple of inclines. The last 2 or 3 miles include an out and back section which was pretty tough mentally. 

The finish was well organised and you got a small goody bag as well as a medal. To be honest the medal was very basic (think children's football participation medal) so if you're only racing for the  bling then this isn't a race for you. 

All in all this was a very good race for my first 13.1.
