In short: FANTASTIC
In full: This was my second marathon but first London and what a day. Turned down for four years but worth the wait. Apart from the heat, bottles left in the middle of the road and people walking in the middle of the road too i couldn't fault it. From the party atmosphere almost from the start of the race to the plentful liquids, orange slices, sweets, vasaline,gels and high fiving as many kids as possible it was brilliant. Then to turn into the finishing straight was a dream come true, unforgetable. Thankyou to all the organisers and a special thanks to all the crowds such a help. Promised (due to the pain) never to do it again on Monday but changed my mind come Tuesday.

In full: This was my first marathon and i have to say it was tough. It turned out to be a hot day too. Some long hills in the first six miles that you have to do again second time round, BUT, the feeling when you cross the finishing line is fantastic. You earn that medal. The support is great too. Only tiny point, no sponges and drinking water from cups is tricky, otherwise a great challenge. I'll be back.
