The race was actually split into "competitive" and "non-competitive" (both ran at the same time) and I got shunned into the "non-competitive" race (I think because I didn't have an ID card, I just got pointed to non-competitive registrations when I tried to register!). As such I'm not expecting to find myself on the results, but I'm interested to find where I came compared to the competitors (I think I was 30-40th overall). Ironically, I came first out of the non-competitors by quite a long way...
It was a great race, about 400 people entering which lots of support on route. Only 14km but three drinks station which, all of which had hot tea and lemons on offer as well; surely a hot drink and a lemon is the last thing you want when running?! Lots of watermelon and bread on offer at the end, the watermelon being an excellent idea.
