In short: It was cold and the start had to be delayed because of TfL and no food at the end ~ the rest was fine.
In full: Happy to recommend it, just take your after race food with you and hope the weather holds when you retrieve your bag from the bag drop (15 minute queue). I will come back next year.

In short: Low to medium expectations were met
In full: This could be a great must-do race but
too many runners for the road,
not enough toilets,
minimal organisation at the start,
the quality of the plastic goody bag was far superior to the contents.
The positive is as always the scenery and I will come back again in a few years time.

In short: Good weather and year on year improvement in organisation, well done, thanks.
In full: Less toilets at the start than previous years was not good. But the pens at the start seemed to work to a degree(I was mid white zone F, but there were lots of people coming through from behind so although i was in the right pen in terms of my finishing time a lot of people were stuck in slower pens than their talent warranted.
Goodie bag: excellent Tshirt and medal but the rest naff, who stole my food?

In short: Enjoyed it; but I should have used sunscreen.
In full: It was cool/cold waiting but when the race started and with the sun out I wish I had worn a vest rather than a tee shirt. Plenty of water available and vaseline. Great atmosphere.
