Flying from Aberdeen on Saturday, back home again on the Tuesday.
The Serpantine Hall isn't that far from town, there are trains (called the Dart - like an underground but above ground) running close by and buses, no.8 I think but don't quote me on that one.
Don't know if there were pace groups, not official ones anyway.
The start is kind of chaotic but a good atmosphere. 8500 runners and walkers crammed into a bit of a bottle neck and it doesn't ease up any till about mile 3 or 4.
Lucozade is on the course, the big 500ml bottles, not the easiest to drink from on the run. There is also some Power Bar gels and bars after 16 miles or so.
Lots of support at the start and the finish is brilliant, in the middle can be a bit quiet though apart from any Yanks in the area.
Glo - I will get to meet you after all!!
