Running on merrily until about the 25k mark doing 4:20k pace or 22 min 5 k pace when the tunnels came and I lost touch with the garmin and it and I didn't recover till the 30k mark.
By that stage I was doing 4:35-4:40k's and couldn't get it back.
Conditions were great. Nice and cool and crowded as you expect with 40,000 runners.
Forgot to look at Youtube for the cobblestones in the last 10ks. They hurt like hell on more sore Achilles. Remember Youtube next time. Heaps of support on the course with plenty out watching in the streets and cheering the runners.
Expo was huge. Largest since I was at Boston.
I finished the race 1884th and 3:08:43 which was my best since the PB in 2010. Which makes it a 45-49 Age Group PB as well. And I'm faster than Blue Dog for the age.
Splits 10k 43:55, Half 1:32:26, 30k 2:12:27.
Not too bad splits 1:32:26/1:36:17.
1884th out of 40,259 Finishers. Top 5% in a Marathon I'll take that.
