In short: Hit
In full: Same as Rachey-babes - from 18-21 miles the heat started to get to me and then I went backwards. On a cooler day it'd have been much more fun. Organisation, water etc. seemed reasonable but I'd think again before doing another "summer" marathon.

In short: The heat!!!!!
In full:
3.44.38!! Was on for sub 3.30 up until 18 miles then it all went pearshaped and i was reduced to a jog.
The marshalls were all really cheerful (thank you!!!) however the lucozade was far to close to the waterstations to be of much use.
Despite my time and the heat i had a really great day. Thanks everyone who was involved and turned up to cheer us on.
