• Comments: The race organisers did a fabulous job. There were 4 drink stations along the way, sadly some of them had run out of cups by the time we came through. Taking a bottle of water was a huge waste for 2 sips. There was one confusing factor, the timing mat for the full marathon was about a kilometre before the timing mat for the half marathon. I didn't see any signs to indicate this, so when we ran through the first timing mat I thought that we were done for the half, only to realise we weren't. At that stage I had registered 2:07:00 and I'm pretty sure for the half it was 2:15 something - results for the half aren't up on the web yet.
