Notes
Was aiming for < 39:00. On track until nearly 5 miles, but a mile stitch developed into such a pain that I wasn't able to keep running (not fast, anyway) and stopped to double over, which helped it pass. Frustrating to have to re-pass runners I'd passed a mile earlier, and to lose time.
I stopped my watch while I was stopped. Actual running time was 38:52 + 24s stopped = 39:16, which is the only number that counts.
Great to see Sarah and Jules and Ian before an afterwards for lunch.
I'd been struggling with a heavy cold all week, but it didn't seem to affect me during the race.
