The first half of the race was very congested (too many runners overestimating their speed and starting too far up the queue!) so I ran the second half quite a bit quicker (unusally).  All in all the organization was good and I'd recommend it as a good early spring half for people getting ready for their April marathons (Paris, London, Madrid, Rotterdam, Boston et al). It was a good excuse to spend a week in Paris too - my wife and I had a fantastic time.  were you in Paris yourself? Running or thinking of running?
