In short: Tired old Blackpool
In full: I thought this race was not really so good, having done it now....
It was a *really* nice medal..and thank goodness,nice weather when we got out there, any bad weather and that could have made it a real bad day in my opinion....
The start seemed to be very held up,? while we all tried to keep warm in a bottle neck cold area,..the route is in my opinion boring,the tarmac is lumpyevery where and made it hard on my knees (im usually ok with road races ), and i felt the atmosphere to be very flat too....
Not 1 portaloo on the whole course for full marathon.!!? with no where to hide ( especially for women ) a friend of mine had to detour into a fast food place to go.!
No gels ,( cant complain re that i guess as it was cheap to enter ) ..
And water stations frequent and well stocked of water .
But I really dont think i will do this one again...but i dont like Blackpool anyway, so maybe im being unfair.
