Mikkey - Great race buddy! You always know your fitness so well and race with disciplined pacing. Hope your nose is OK and you can enjoy Spain for a while.
Mmmm Bop
Thanks! It was a bit of a blur as my nose isn’t sore, but it was bleeding when I got up and I’ve got a couple of red patches on my face now. I probably got over confident with the pacing as I felt great in the first half. But the wind really picked up and I just didn’t have the legs/endurance to push through. Time for some tapas.

Mikkey - will comment shortly.
The CIM Boys looking good. RP is leading the pack right now, but all 3 ran their first 5k nice and slow and have picked it up into the 15k. All 3 tracking for sub 3.

RP was on track for 2:56 at 30km, CK 2:59, Cal 3:01. CK appears to be pacing it beautifully and hopefully will have a strong finish. RP just running an amazing race if he can hold that. Slight slowdown from Cal on the last split. I guess our next update will be 40km so it's possible a lot could have changed. Hopefully all we see is a speed up from CK and Cal.

RP just came through the 40K right on pace! He is going to PR here and has a decent shot at going 2:55:XX. Crazy!
RP in a complete beast mode. That guy is an endurance monster!
RP through 40km and still on track for 2:56!
What a race by RP: faster all the way.
Not sure, but looks like Cal is catching up to Keen. They might finish pretty close.
2:52:16 (2018)
RP in beast mode, if his PR is 2h59 he's going for a massive break through
Cal is through 40k in 2h53 on pace for 3h02
A bit nervous for CK, not through 40km. Cal through and on target for a solid 3:02
RP 2:56:07. Woahhh
