In short: Lack of proper starting pens meant that very fast runners were mixed with trotters, making PB's impossible and made it difficult to get going. Weaving through the crowds meant that the scenery was missed until about 5 miles.

In short: Overall a nice run, let down mainly by getting there (traffic chaos) and the slow start
