Race conditions
Very hot and a little humid. The official temperature was 25 degrees, but just before the start the announcer said it was 27.
Report
Ranked as the number 1 marathon in the world by The Ultimate Guide to International Marathons (although I've not heard of this publication), it's certainly got a lot to recommend it. A beautiful course, excellent organisation, plenty of food and drink throughout plus free Swedish massage at the end, although the queues get large for this pretty quickly.
Overall, a very enjoyable marathon and a fast course as long as the conditions aren't too hot. Ideal for spectators too since it involves 2 laps, the scenery's great and there are plenty of places to view and enjoy a picnic.
