In short: Excellent Again - and a PB :)
In full: 2nd rear I've ran this race and I ran it over 5 minutes quicker this time for a new PB, after about 10 half marathons,I knew about the hill at 12.5 this time! A congested start and why do some people go in the pens at the front when clearly they aren't going to be sub 1.30-1.40! Fantastically organised, great volunteers, even the free porridge from the little stall on the right as you exited the fenced off area at the finish was a great idea. The timing tracking was a great idea.
