← St Albans Half Marathon

Ran this as the 2 hour pacer. I had run this before maybe 13 years ago or so, so I didn't really remember what the course was like. The profile looked a bit lumpy. Man, it was very lumpy!

The organisation at the start was excellent. No congrstion and it was easy to get onto pace right from the start. 

It was very hot and they had a lot of water stations compared to what you would normally expect for the distance. I managed to get water at them all, but it did look like they were struggling to get enough cups filled up at some of them. More helpers would be useful or bottles (which costs more I know). 

I had some good banter with runners who were trying to get under 2 hours. Local support was excellent. Race village was really good as well. I'll be back next year.
