In short: Got potential but must try harder next year
In full: This is the 3rd time I have done the Bluewater and I have to say despite it being fairly well organised I felt it was better the previous 2 years. The course is good and reasonably fast if a little challenging after about 5K with the hills and so not a good course for first timers! Change of sponsor meant Gatorade was being dished out and a LOT was wasted at the drink station at 8K. A better use of the drink would have been free samples and some water bottles in the Race Village as you were encouraged to be there at least an hour before the race. Fun warm up before the event and Sweatshop should have had a stand as the race was over for most before 10 and the shops don't open until 11... so it was off home for brekkie rather than out spending!

In short: Fantastically well organised, well supported and well marshalled run. Organisers learning from Year 1 and this can only get even better in 2012

In short: Got to be 1 of the best 1/2 marathons to tackle in the London area
In full: Challenging but fun. Well organised and well supported and plenty to do before and after the race. Good weather on the day made the whole event that little bit mor eenjoyable as well.
