In short: The race was a lot better than the weather!
In full: If it wasn't for the weather this would have been a great marathon. The baggage area was a fiasco both before and after the race but this was made so much worse by the weather and has already been well documented. The support was great apart from some areas out in the country (to put this into perspective, there were also some areas in New York that had only one or two spectators so this was only to be expected). Even with the weather I did Manchester 16 minutes quicker than London the previous week so this is definitely a potential PB course. Most cities would have to take in some questionable scenery to make up 26 miles hence we had to run through Trafford industrial park to link back to Stretford. Overall, despite the weather, a great race and warm and friendly northern support along the route.
