In short: fast course but very few spectators except at the finish. Liked the pipers at most of the mile markers.

In short: I'm sure to be back again next year.
In full: I've done this for the last 7 years and it's still one of the races I most look forward to. Moving the finish line back to it's traditional position was a smart move and the support in the last 200 metres was great. Not so much support out on the course, although the Sikhs were there again with their extra drink's station. Things that could be improved aregetting the race packs out earlier and providing more toilets at the start.

In short: Excellent conditions and superb organisation...pb's all round!
In full: Only two minor complaints...for that price why do we still only get a cotton t-shirt and sports caps on the water bottles would be nice...nearly choked twice!!
