In full: More room in the college this year, compared to the school last year so that was better. Shame the weather wasn't as nice as last year :)

In short: Overall really good. Only gripe was the obsession with going in and out the doors as marked, bizarre.
In full: Support was the best I have seen on this sort of race. Hadn't thought of the road being tight as I was in near the front,but could quite easily have been made double width.
Great to have all the roads closed. I could have done with some energy drink at about 10miles but thats my problem I guess :)

In full: Bit torn on organisation some aspects were fab, the race organisor seems to work like a trojan and some of the marshalls were fantastic. Anything else didn't really detract too much as I enjoyed it as much as you can enjoy a marathon I guess.

In short: Too few toilets, as ever
In full: Could do with some more signs to the start. Another drink station would have been nice, in defence it was a very hot day and I had gone off like a rocket, doh!

In short: Terrible organisation
In full: Had a 20 minutes wait for the toilets, which meant I didn't have time for a warmup. After been given misleading information about where the best place to go would be.
One steward was talking to someone in a car (blocking most the road when I approached and didn't show me the way until I had stopped, particualrly annoying as I had just overtaken someone and took me a half mile to feel comfortable again.
As for the prizes, I don't normally win any and was pleasantly suprised by being in the running. Having recieved my 'mug' for 1st in an age category and 7th overall, I can see why the better runners give this a miss. Pretty shoddy in race with 2700 in it.

In short: 2 hr round trip, came 3rd, no prize for late entries! thanks for the wasted 1.5hr
