Notes
OK first half - 45 sec ahead of target at 1:29:15.
Got too hot near the end and I faded badly. At the 39 km mark I was still on target for sub 3 hrs, but the temperature had climbed up to 20 deg C (68F)- and got to 21C by the end. My engine just lost too much power. The last 3km was a death march.
Massage after, then lunch, then (woopee!) 6 x luge rides. Fast and fun.
5k splits (target 21:20 for sub 3hr):
20:55
20:23
20:32
21:22
20:50
21:33
22:07
23:07
then 11:28 for the last 2.2km
GPS says 42.22km. Very accurate.
