Won’t be doing this again despite the nice bling. Great medal ... that’s it ! Not impressed at all tbf ..sand to contend with .. jumping off walls? No estimated finish times segregation at the start ? Causing a need to run in the road to overtake slower runners. A severe bottle neck near the start causing one unfortunate runner to fall! I didn’t even receive a timed finish despite the chip. (Still waiting)
Sea air was great but next time I’ll take the dogs to the coast instead of running in this one again
