Notes
Not a bad effort, actually very hard going most of the way. Splits were 26mins 38secs at top of Mt.Butler, 48mins 12secs at Tai Tam Road, 1hr 26mins 36secs at Shek O Road and 2hr 12mins 21secs at the end. The last 2 sections were quicker than I have done before and where I made up time on 2 years ago. Still found the hills very tough and realise 26mins to the top of Mt. Butler is quick.
Took 4 gels - 1 at the bottom of Mt. Butler, 1 at Tai Tam Road and 2 at Shek O Road, never had 2 before, but I needed it and it gave some power. Also took a Salt Cap at Tai Tam Road and Shek O Road.
Finished strongly, just off the podium. Very tough run as always. Time was ok, as usual I hoped for a bit more.
Temperature ok at 18-19 degrees, humidity at 88-90%. Needed those salts.
