A long, flat industrial estate (better than it sounds, with trees and grass). Then a long uphill, now in the posh side of town. And a flattish section past leafy gardens. In the sun, slight breeze.

GerryO Jun 2010 5:37pm, 5 Jun 2010 85 posts	Quote Pin GerryO I was wearing my Edinburgh Marathon T and this guy in the park asked me how it was. He then asked my time. I told him and he snorted then explained to me how he had done all the marathons on the circuit and that his slowest time was 3:07. Knowing that I was never going to win in this exchange I smiled and mumbled something. Thank God that it was a sunny day and Dylandog and I could just trot off at our pace, on our run, training for the next race.

Pootle Jun 2010 6:51pm, 5 Jun 2010 3,935 posts	Quote Pin Pootle Errrrrrrgh! Half marathon, that started at 2pm. Had to adopt a run/walk strategy by mile 4 as it was so blisteringly hot (I NEVER walk in races), no shade and just when you thought you were going to die they threw in a couple of styles and a verticle hill just to finish you off! Threw up at mile 11 (first time that's happened!), but managed to continue on to the finish in 2:17. Weirdly, got a better buzz crossing that line than the one at VLM! Bearing all that in mind, it was a great race and I loved running through the field of shoulder high grass for a couple of miles, and the rickety old bridges. Weather made for great camerardery between the runners too so there was a great atmosphere. Got a great comedy tan too. Rah!
