In short: first marathon can't believe there can be many better marathons around
In full: This was my first marathon, partly done under peer pressure but I am very thankful for that peer pressure otherwise I would have missed out on a wonderful experience. The villege, the people, the runners,the scenery and the scary climbs made this an awesome experience. I'll be back

In short: Hated the traffic but everything else was wonderful
In full: My first marathon, so took it very easily and got caught up with the traffic after Pen-y-Gwryd. Surprised to find the weather less of a problem than I expected. A wonderful day.
