Hey Ed, I looked for you at the start but couldn't see you. I was about half an hour slower than you so you'd probably gone by the time I finished.
I managed to avoid my usual dramatics and didn't fall over/poo myself/anything else. Ambled along quite happily for the first half but had a sulk at 15k and sat down on a verge for a minute before trying to get going again (mainly failed at that). I couldn't breathe that well and was feeling a bit stroppy.
Good event all round I thought, not too many people, nice low key feel to it, lots of cheering from marshalls and residents, free hot chocolate at the end.
I wore an owl hat but didn't even see an owl, let alone have my hat stolen from my head. Darn it.
