In short: Great race, not so great medal
In full: Was a little nervous after reading last year's review, but they seem to have worked out all the organizational problems. Sir Roger Bannister was at the start which was a nice surprise. Very hilly but beautiful course, it's a shame the medal was so disappointing.

In short: Blame the weather
In full: Trained for four months for the full, and was extremely disappointed to have it reduced to a half, but after slogging down the greenway I can understand the concern. For the first 8 miles didn't see the reason for cancelling, but when I saw the finish approaching I was relieved not to have to go round again. Adjusted my plan and ended up running a PB for the half. An earlier call to cancel would have been better, but I appreciate that it was a difficult decision and they were trying to do everything they can to get the race in. I would do this race again, hopefully in better conditions.
