In short: Outstanding but very tough for a marathon novice
In full: Quite simply as brilliant as so many reviews attest. Thank you lone piper and thank you to every single bystander who offered a word of encouragement. Two things would improve it: add another water station at 6 miles so the first is not at almost 9 miles. Secondly, add mile markers for those not wearing distance calculators.

In short: Hardest thing I've ever done!
In full: Gloriously beautiful race along cliff tops and the South Downs. Mind numbingly exhausting, hardly a flat bit anywhere. Tremendous atmosphere, fabulously stewarded. My only grumble was that it seems no one bothered to write my number down when I finished. Oh well - maybe next year.

In full: This year's weather didn't disappoint, making up for the dismal conditions of last year. However it's when you get conditions like this year's that makes you want to keep coming back - whatever the weather. This was my 14th!
