In short: A race this size needs a bit more organisation to sort runners into approximate finishing times. I was honest with my 2:15-2:20 prediction, and spent the whole race dodging slower runners/walkers.

In short: I'm now hooked to half marathons after this. Fabulous atmosphere, loads of drinks stations and energy bar helped at 10miles
