This was my slowest 1/2 marathon for well over a year but didn't spoil my enjoyment of it. It was a challenging course with a killer of a hill at the very end, but I think it was the humidity that slowed me down. I can certainly sympathise with Paula Radcliffe! Very well organised with a free swim for competitors and their families in an outdoor pool. Also a great medal with date engraved on it to celebrate their 25th anniversary
