Notes
What an amazing race! Very tough, very beautiful (beyond words really) and well worth the journey. Ran a good 1st half but still did not hold back enough and paid the price over the last 6 miles or so with totally shot legs. Brute of a course that extracts a high price for running it. More in the blog later. 8C at start, 16C at finish with bright strong sun. Winds were not a real factor but were there at 10-20k/hr in places but the cooling effect was nice. Lots of pics and video along the way and the little breaks were nice to take. What a great place to run a marathon!
