  • Exeter, Devon. Sunday 15th May 2022, Marathon day!
    I found the second half of the run tough.
    Dehydration is the only reasonable explanation - heavy legged, headache etc. The course itself was flat. Traffic free as advertised. However some of the paths followed on the 2 lap course were narrow and - as is their pleasure - the good burghers of Exeter were out with children, pushchairs, dogs and bicycles.
    There is nothing awful about this event, which raises cash for charity, however I wouldn't say it is worth going out of your way to participate in.
    I hoped for 3:20 and the first circuit was okay, then the wheels started coming off!
    Finished in 3:38 and first in my age group... OK there were only 2 of us in the VM65-69 category!

      Exeter is a *tidy* city. The start was in the old Dock area: Warehouses are theatres, cafes etc. I was very pleased when the start line became the finish line - I was shattered.
