Did you see the course?- I reckon you'd call it "flat". My missus always goes on about "the hill" at about 11 miles. It must be about a 20ft rise in say 200 yards, so nothign to write home about.
Look out for a great 150 yard finishing straight on the grass - lined with people on both sides. If you can burn anyone off here it feels great.

Yes I am doing it. MyChestr PB is about 1:28:06 I think, but won't beat that. I managed Wrexham in 1:29:15 and think I have improved slightly since then. However Wrexham was in a howling wind (some top drafting that day by the way) so sub 1:29 is on if it's a still day.
I hope you manage your sub 2. Frankly on your form with a Big Guy taper special* you should manage it comfortably.
*The DBG taper special is 13 miles hard 7 days before followed by zero miles in the next week. Maybe you can do 5 DEAD SLOW on Tuesday but no more.
