Notes
Thinking this may be my last race, it was that horrible. Not much water provided and it was a warm day - first water stop after 1hr 50mins of running! And then the water was hot. Reduced to walking for long periods, especially on the beaches and the uphills, and wasn't really moving much on the downhills too. Would gladly have hopped in a taxi, had one been available, and gone home after 2hrs.
Got to 23km and then there was a proper water stop, with Coke. Drank a couple of cups and tried to run on before the sugar high wore off, so did the last 5-6km in a reasonable pace. The rest was basically walking pace after the halfway point.
Shoes are a mess now, need some work with superglue.
