In short: Very hot day and water shortage made race very hard
In full: The day was beautiful, but not a day for running a marathon! It was hot and I knew it was going to be hard. It was a shock to get to mile 19 and find no water. Luckly I had had my own water with me up to mile 18, but I gegan to worry that I would have 7 miles to go with no water. However spectators and locals were great, offering water and drinks from picnic baskets and hosing people down.
I enjoy this run, in milder conditions it does have PB potential and is good for beginners. It was just the conditions this year that made it hard. I like the finish. Though there were big queues for the shuttle bus the queue cleared quickly and I was soon sitting celebrating in the Edinburgh sunshine.

In full: A hard run this year due to the wind, but it all adds to the experience. Lokking forward to next year, I'm sure the weather will be better.
