In short: good fast race (HM), gets tougher in the 2nd half. Good support and marshalling.
In full: Finally I got around to doing my local half marathon. Overall a good day. It has a big race feel at the start. The course is good, but the 1st half is faster than the 2nd. I did lose time in the 2nd half, it gets a bit twistier and slower, the last mile is up hill also, this drags a little but that's part of the challenge! It was well marshalled in general, there was also a decent amout of support throughout. Must give a big thanks to the drumming band playing just past John Lewis's, they were great and you hear them for ages, just what you need near the end. OK for a PB, but I reckon the Nottingham might edge it slightly.
