Notes
Very hard run - probably second hardest marathon after Boston. First half was ok, though not feeling very good at any point. Second half was slow and hot, and tough work after beginning to cramp at 36km. At the start the weather was around 17 degrees, by the end it was about 25 degrees and exposed much of the way. Plus running alone for long stretches. Considering the course and the heat the time is ok, and position was ok too. The >40's group was surprisingly strong, other categories were weaker so 10th overall is respectable.
