Not bad for the first running of a marathon. The start was delayed 15 minutes, but otherwise well organised. Two and a bit laps through several parks and along mostly closed roads.
I ran a solid first half but then my pace tailed off over the second half.
This was marathon #69, completed in 3:47:02.
