A last minute entry after the strained right hamstring injury has finally improved. Planned for 3.20 pace which is 4.44 per km.
A cold morning with fresh southerly. I kep my fleecy top on till 25k. A good plan as I felt pretty good . One major toilet break at 23 k. Was rarely overtaken but overtook a lot because I started in the B group. I held a steady pace till 37k and then it got hard.
I walked a couple of the drink stops and that helped.
Finished in 3.16.24 net so right on schedule. Felt a bit beat at the end but ok. Walked to St James then bus from Central.
Not a very enjoyable marathon with a very desolate back half and so many turnarounds.but happy with improving form. Coming up to 3 years post break.
