Well done all! I wasn't expecting all them cobbles but they didn't slow me down too much. Very pleased to run a 2-second (!) pb, 1:11:26. (Would've been 2nd V45 behind the guy who is already ranked 1st so far this year.) Had a good start from pen A - cheers @doubleodavey! - and ran fairly even splits (5k 16:51, 10k 33:37), caught up a training partner just after hitting South London about 8 miles and ran in a group of 6 with him till near the end, which was handy when the going started getting tough. Thought I'd missed my pb as I saw the finish line clock, then remembered the gun/chip difference. One final gurn to get me there. :-)
