In short: Very emotional to see all these people raising money for charity
In full: Got to the race start really early and spent 2.5hrs looking at people's costumes. Was overwhelmed by the size of the who thing. Really good atmosphere. For once there were plenty of toilets (which is not the case at some other races I have been to) and even some loo paper! Very emotional to see everyone was running for charity and in some cases in memory of someone. Didn't manage a PB and I was surprised by the hilliness of the terrain. Was mumbling under by breath during the last 2 miles (they were killers) and only managed the last 800m by sheer gritting of teeth. Pity about the weather and especially the rain at the end. Wasn't much fun for those waiting at the finish line. Hope to be back next year and in costume!
