In short: Race of a Lifetime! Everyone should do this!
In full: Fantastic experience, just incredible crowds and atmosphere, especially at Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and last 5 miles. I was hemmed in most of the race by running in a crowd but this probably helped me pace myself and i did 2:08 1st half and 2:08 2nd half! Very little chance of a PB here unless like me it is your first marathon. I was in Blue start/Pen 7 and must have overtaken thousands of runners in last few miles as they were walking but i guess its pretty hard to organise so many runners correctly at the start and can have few grumbles about anything.
Just brilliant.

In short: Best scenery ever but far too hot for PB's
In full: Very well thought out course with a few challenging hills and trails. Good organisation with great stewards. Weather far too hot so no chance for me of a PB.
