In full: My first event and one that I hope is not indicative of 10k events. Would have appreciated at least another water station - if the weather had been sunny it would have been desperate. The finish was particularly shambolic with runners getting mixed up making a nonsense of their final positions. Then a queue before marshalls entering runner numbers into a computer that was unprotected from the rain - inevitably things went wrong! Finally a complimentary fruit or isotonic drink might have been better than a doughnut. Boy did that sit heavily. If these kind of events are supposed to inspire young athletes for 2012 then we're doomed. Or do I just expect too much?
