In short: Wish people would have cheered up!
In full: I have read many reviews on here, and i agree with alot of what has been said, yep, pb potential had it not been for the BIG crowds or the incline or the pants rain and running into wind! anyway my main concern, was that this was a "fun" run for many, I am in a running club but I still like to smile and have a larf - and encourage people who may be struggling. However when I tried to do an "oggie ogggie" no one replied! hell, I have done lots of races and people were a damn site more friendlier at those!
I would say the atmos was a bit pants to say the least and I didnt like the cars coming down the other side of the road after 40 mins, hell -wait for some of the slower ones before you open the roads again - that was bad. It all seemed very disorganised. me and my boyfriend showed up about 8.20am and there were hardly any of the organisation team there! The loos hadnt even been put out.
Most of us kept warm in Macdonalds and used their loo!
Next year - yep, would do it again, but they need to sort the org out. Oh and quit with the narky marshalls acting like hitlers.
FUN run guys, FUN run!
