Notes
Going into the Marathon had a little concern about the hammies, with the wind and hills. We formed a pack pretty quickly with a group that had Ephraim, Helen, Wayne and another 4 runners. The wind was felt right from the start and lasted about 6 miles. Once in the hills we ran really well. My right hamstring started to tighten around 20 miles than around 22 miles the left did also. This has been an on going problem for the last 4 years and I wish I could solve it, in the heat its not a factor. Struggled the last 4 miles the worst with a little cramping. The wind the last 2 miles was the worst!!! Very disappointed with time but had one small ray of sunshine with the race under 3 hours I moved up significantly on the Longest Time Spans Between First and Last Sub 3 hour Marathon world ranking. Should be in top 5! http://www.arrs.net/TR_SSpan.htm
