In short: AWESOME
In full: Loved the elite pen at the front, nice touch and was nice to be able to get away to a fast start. Only downside was that my chip didnt register but still battered my PB.
Well worth doing and I will be back next year

In short: A nice way to start a sunday.
In full: Nice flat course for the majority. Was a little crowded at the start so might have to get there a little earlier next time.
Only issues were that water was given out in cups which makes it hard to grab when running and also the distance came out at 9.91km on my garmin. Still really enjoyed it and managed a PB

In short: Enjoyed it...even after the sand blasting on the sea wall
In full: This was only my 2nd half marathon and my first since the great north run in 2005. Obviously this is a much smaller scale but i really enjoyed getting back into it and did it in 1.35:55 (25 mins faster than the last one)
The wind was very very strong between 7-10 but there isn't anything they could do about that. Considering it was raining very heavily 30 mins before the start i think we got lucky with it not raining at all during the race. Didn't really notice the water stations as i carried my own water bottle.

Overall very happy with everything and may well be back next year
