In short: What a 1st marathon, I am hooked !!! Unbelievable atmosphere.
In full: A fantastic race, and one that I would do again without a shadow of a doubt. Words cannot describe the awesome support, organisation, atmoshere, etc etc.
I followed the Runner's World sub 3:30 training plan to the letter. Blame only doing a 3:33 on the Garmin GPS losing signal for 6 mins (Thought I was on for a 3:27 ;-). But not bad for a 1st time.

In short: Fantastic event. Well Organised. My 1st Half Marathon, although I have alot of training miles under my belt. VERY chuffed with my 1hr 39min ;-)
In full: Very well organised race. Howver as I have only done the Nike 10k before, don't have much to compare against. The marshalling was fantastic and VERY encouraging throughout. Was expecting to run around the 8 minute per mile, so very pleased to have managed 7:20 p/m in the heat. Plenty of water and the ice cold sponges were fantastic !!! Overall a very enjoyable race, and one I would definitely recommend and do again.
