In short: Better for earlier finishers
In full: As it turned out, I was forced to take this one easy even though it was my first half and I fancied a much much better time. It is an iconic race near where I live and I heard lots of stories about locals handing out stuff and the atmosphere being great. I did enjoy myself but life at the back is not as lucrative - a lot of the bands had packed up and gone and jelly babies, oranges, cheering people etc were no more. Spare a thought for people at the back (i didnt slow anyone down - note to people above-because I put myself in the correct wave)and dont take stuff if u dont need it and note to race organisers to supply more, particularly at the 'boost zone' - not very effective. Keep the bands there!
On the other hand, first aiders, charity cheerers and bottle people were very friendly.
