I didn't think of changing tents but indeed would be useful - i used the toilets at the restaurant I dined in post race. Unless you are a sub 3 runner what does it matter what the gun time is ? The route was rolling in places rather than hilly but that definition depends on your point of reference - compared to London, Abingdon & Amsterdam it's hilly Compared to Langdale, Sussex, Windermere & Cornish it's flat !! |

Mind you I had real problems turning corners after 22 miles. Can we have a corner-y rating for races?

Normally, yes. Combine it with a kerb and you've got a recipe for catastrophe! There was a kind of dog leg bit before you turned onto the prom proper from what I remember - ugh. |

I hate hills but run Brighton every year, so I'd say it's not hilly! Anyway, in for number six next year... |

Six for me too next year. How many years is it for when being a an ever-present in a particular race becomes unique?

Apparently people were running across other runners and stopping at the start to take selfies with Paula. Might explain some of the congestion!
