Great atmosphere and a helpful team who provided delicious coffees and cakes post-race. The Brandon (Suffolk) race took place on a really wet day, so it was quite muddy and slippy, but I'm told that it's usually not a muddy course and that the water drains away well. Either way, for my first race, I had a lot of fun :)
