Notes

St George Marathon. I was hoping for something around 2;45, which would be a massive PB, but I didn't have a good day, especially early on. I felt like crap the first half of the marathon and hamstring was bothering me. I felt like dropping out, but when Mel Lemon passed me, it got me motivated. (At the race expo, his young son said, ' my daddy is going to beat you'.)

The marathon is such a mind game as well as physical. because when Mel passed me, I suddenly snapped out of it and had a fast strong finish and easily pulled ahead of Mel. Last mile in 6:19.

2:54:15 is still a 2 minute PB.
