In short: So thirsty, so thirsty oh I remember the water station is 1/2 mile before the finish line
In full: My GPS said this is 20.8 miles - but is has been known to be wrong.
Goodie bag was just a promotional pack for other advertisers - no goodies.
Did I mention I was very very thirsty? Water station 1 mile in and 1/2 mile at the end. That is a long way on a hot morning.
I must say the other runners were fantastically friendly. Never met such a nice group of people on a run.
3 miles of running along a motorway was not what I was expecting and unfortunately my earphones blew up so I couldn't drown out the sound of the traffic. However my head was down most of the time thinking about how tempting the puddles were to drink.
Most of the scenery was lovely though.
