What? No beer?? That's just weird.

It certainly was an experience. Like I said, it was so incredibly well organised that it had none of the headaches I usually associate with big number events. After what I'd read here and elsewhere about the Great North Run and major U.S. marathons (for example) I'd rather been put off major crowd races, but this was a beauty. Totally caught me by surprise. I would be more than happy to do it again, but even if I don't, I'm well pleased for having entered it at least once.
