Great race! Pleased to come 5th in 2:02:49 - was on for sub 2hr (and 3rd) until about mile 15 when the wheels come off badly.
The organisation and the marshalling were top notch - a really good job by all! Not so fond of the course though - few too many hills and sharp turns for my liking. The section off-road though was far worse - rutted, uneven and a right royal pain in the backside. Is there no way it could be avoided next year? It was unfitting for such an otherwsie brilliant race.
Ran my age to celebrate my birthday today - 41M on NDW. Felt strong t/out and had plenty in the tank at end. Definitely could've done 50. So that's not my race pace I guess...
Never raced a 20M before, so we'll see. Marathon pace I know - I can gear down and get it done. Half marathon pace I know too - can push that pace okay. I reckon 20M is a tricky one to pace correctly to get the best time possible. We'll see...
