In short: Nice race desperately disappointed in the organisation
In full: I'm really sad that I ran this as my first marathon. I'd put so much work into it and my supporter didn't see me at all.
The organisation was a disgrace - not only was my supporter denied all chances to actually support me she didn't even know I was safe until 45 minutes after I crossed the line thanks to the ridiculous queues.
The finish line was such an anti-climax.
I'm glad I ran the marathon but I regret running Edinburgh for my first one

In short: Fantastic first race
In full: I absolutely loved this race, I'll definitely be doing it again next year (I'm just sad I have to wait that long)
The marshall were brilliant, can't fault the generosity of spirit that had them clapping and cheering all the way through
However, road shoes are a definite no no - running up a hill slightly slower than you are sliding down is not the most encouraging feeling ever!
Stupid footwear choices aside I LOVED THIS RACE
