Congratulations on arranging such a beautifully smooth package for the marathon. If only my part, the running itself, had been of a similar quality. You even arranged it so the slower runners didn’t have to get cold while plodding round the course.

I just want to thank Martin and the crew in London for an amazing weekend. The team over there were fantastic and everything worked out so well – except for the weather.
