Very well done in extremely testing conditions and some stand out performances.

Andrew was rewarded with around 10 seconds of prime TV coverage at the finish line. He commented:
Squeaked in by 12 seconds under 3hrs according to chip timing. Very hot for running and had to dig deep for last two miles to keep sub 3.
Scott commented:
Enjoyed running London marathon again and took time to take it all in on a warm day.
I am very happy with my run, it was warm and enjoyed actually take it all in, a very good memory for the future.
I have had  a awesome year and half think my shorter distance times will come down after a week or two recovery
