I love this race, it was the 2nd time for me yesterday. Shame about the head on gail force wind for the last 4, like others was on a PB until that point. Oh well there is always next year.
I will come out in praise of the organisation, I personally don't think you can fault it, the right balance of numbers, and marshalls with excellent communications pre race and organisation on the day and I do appreciate the free goodies in the finish area this year. Well done everyone.
I feel for those without a T, (I did Berlin half last year to find out there was no T - gutted) There are a couple of methods I've seen use, put the size requested at entry on the number, these are matched up/removed when you collect your T - this means you can only collect 1 and in the size your 'ordered' or have a more structured system for collection i.e pre race pick up or bag items up for hand out post race. The cadets handing these out yesterday were under a lot of pressure, they needed more room/further spread out. I'm not sure young boys feel they have the authority to challenge those phaffing about / exchanging sizes whilst trying to keep the line moving.
I will be back next year in search of that elusive PB.

Any one interested in my number? Message me, collection nr Holywell, flintshire
Well, that was windy
Great event and had fun with the massage at the end!
Wind was a killer, last 4 miles going backwards nearly. PB pace until then.
No T shirt for us too. Assume Alan will be in contact soon Mickey T.
Not sure a Preston lad should wear Orange T Shirts though
