← Boston UK Marathon and Half

This race has a really local feel to it and the atmosphere at the start was great. Once out on course and out of the town, it quickly became quite lonely though. The area around Boston, Lincs. is flat and should be good for a PB course, but it's also windy and quite barren, making it tougher than you think mentally and physically. The course marshals were friendly and one in particular cycled past at the end and was very encouraging. Luckily I had a protein bar in my drop bag at the end because there wasn't any food right at the finish (anything for a banana).
