John Boothman drove up to Edinburgh in his camper van, where he stopped overnight, ready for an early start. After all the recent cool weather, the day was something else and the heat does not suit John. The first half of the race went reasonably well for him, but in the second half, the heat began to take its toll, not only on John, but on many other runners too and particularly towards the finish, there were many runners at the side of the road in deep trouble. John did finish, although at just under 4 hours was a bit slower than last year. he was dehydrated at the end of the race and he rested for a while at the finish before setting off back home.
