Comments:

Should have been a fast start if it wasn't for all the dog walkers (yes the dogs had race numbers), push chairs and assorted 6 year olds that had started right at the front.
)Had lots of fun dodging folks and staying light on my feet. Took photo's on route and even stopped to take photos after passing one of the olympic torch bearers who was also running.
Last 700m mostly uphill except the finish on the running track
No drinking station!!! (until we had finished
What would you do differently?:

Hire a costume. There were no gorillas this year.
Post race
Warm down:

Looked at my medal and took a few more photos.
Admired those less fortunate than myself who took part and finished. Good on them.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inability to take it seriously
