In short: A good pre marathon lesson, nice fast course
In full: Learned a lot about the difference between half marathon and longer, would recommend this run to anyone as a step between - thought the marshalls were excellent, thanks guys & girls. The toilet issue is covered and perhaps in future they could site some on the road near the start of second lap. The goody bag was ace and the mug is nice but personally I'm a medal junkie!!!

In short: Well marshalled but start and finish poorly arranged, unlucky with the weather
In full: The weather was bad with cold temp and high winds all marshalls were excellent but there were no markers to clearly show the start and when the race started many were surprised as there were no announcements. At the finish there was no line to cross and i saw several people wondering if they had actually finished. Sort out these bits and the race would be a good one. The course has 3 toughish hills start middle and a nasty steep thing at the end otherwise it was reasonable and there were long downhill stretches so a pb is not out of the question - I have to say that having knocked 2 mins off mine!
