Notes
Didn't mean to run this fast, but settled into a rhythm with Karl and Aubs, and then Ryan Scott, so just went with it. Stitched a little in the 4th and 5th km, but otherwise felt surprisingly easy. Looked at my time for the first time with about 200m to go and saw 17:30, so put in a sprint finish to get in under 18:00 - had a lot of gas left which is good. Also, turned at 9:04, so ran quite a nice negative split - also a good sign!
