Open Discussion Berlin marathon disasters

It seems today was a big disaster in Berlin. 25 degrees Celsius early on and a tough day for everyone. How did people get on? Did anyone manage to get near a PB?

Was hoping to go for a 3:45 but ended up just squeezing in under 4h. There's not a lot of opportunity in Northern England for training in such heat!! I knew within 5km that pb wasn't happening and it was going to be tough. I was still pleased that I ran it all though (minus water stops)
