In short: Well organised, great scenery and plenty of sunshine!
In full: Really enjoyed this race.
Felt a lot of thought had been put into the various aspects of the race, and was particularly impressed by the family area, which laid on things to do for the families whilst they waited for those running to get back to the festival area.
Also got a pb which always helps how positively you feel about a race!
Great race, great support, and lovely to be running around the sights of London.

In short: Massive Disappointment. Why do the race in Wembley (apart from the stadium) when we have perfectly good parks to run in and enjoy?
In full: Just feel very negative about the whole experience.
Couldn't believe as someone racing in wave 3 that I had to sit for three hours before being set off. Once on the move the course was so narrow and crowded in places that you could keep no kind of rhythm in your run.
The worst parts for me were having to stop altogether to get past the enormous puddles, from the heavy downpours (admittedly this wasn't Nike's fault, though you could argue that if the course was wider you wouldn't have those problems).
Also the course, though not hilly as such never seemed to allow you to get a good pace on as you were constantly looking at the next slope in front of you.
Yes the t shirts were very nice, but frankly I could have done without the music, or the waiting around.
The positive thing about the evening, was that London transport didn't let us down, and got me there and back with no hassles at all.

In short: Great race, shame about the fiasco baggage collection
In full: Great race, with brilliant atmostphere. Also very pleased as got a PB.
The baggage collection nightmare at the end was a shame, especially as the last thing my legs needed was to be queing for 40 minutes.
