In short: Good start, bad post-race, hot!
In full: The sun came out 5 minutes before the race and stayed there. Thoughts of beating target times were replaced by hoping to stay alive. There was a guy dispensing sun cream at 21 miles who I wish i could find and thank! If the organisers read this, they really should sort out the reunion area. The bags were miles from the entrance. There were two 3 ft wide gates to get in or out. Very odd. Great experience though!

In short: Brutal
In full: Given the conditions the organisers could have put on more water. Only had water every 3 miles or more. No shade no showers on route. Scenery is ok if you like the river and power station.
Cant believe someone thinks this is a London beater!! Nothing to see whereas London you are ticking off the sites and crowds all the way round cheering you on.
2 mile walk from finish to bags more long walk to buses that drop you off a mile from the city centre. Just what you need after 26.2 miles in the sun.
The finish is great and where there are people the Scots are wonderful and friendly.

In short: The text message telling me my chip time after the race was a lovely touch. Typical of the all round excellent organisation. London should be worried!
