Tim of Fife Personal best -  Done !!!!!!    

I'd planned to do a very big 'positive split', aiming for approx. 1:53/2:07.    As it transpired, I went through half-way too fast in 1:50.   So, I went to a walk/run strategy for the second half.   I was still on course for a sub-4 finish until as late as 23 miles.   However, during the last three miles, I had to deal with (a) cramping in a calf; (b) locking up for a while across the shoulders; and (c) the hill round mile 24/25 (too much for a treadmill runner lol).   But thrilled nevertheless. Unaffiliated 3:58:33 4:04:14 4:04:14 56.77

Stevce A very good well run event. On the downside, it wasn't as flat as I thought it would be (but it certainly wasn't hilly, hilly !) one water station ran out of water (but did have sports drink)
very enjoyable, great course and highly recommendable 
I was a first time runner and if all marathons are like this then I wish I could run a marathon every week ! International Maraton Klub Delta 1893, Gordonian Runners 4:41:09 4:41:09 5:15:00 4:41:09 48.46
