Brighton and Beyond

Sounds like they have a lot of work to do on the park and ride, as well as the loos, next year. I wonder if anyone had thought about the camber issue beforehand? It's a real shame that you had the calf problem when you were going so well, and after all the problems you had to overcome during training, but at the end of the day it still looks like a pretty damn fine result.

I think the split is done on gun time not chip time. Otherwise you and I would both be on negative splits, and I think we know that's not the case. Your training miles are almost exactly the same as mine (I only did two midweek runs, but up to 10 miles). I think we're proving that unless you're looking for a PB, nice 'n' easy is the way to go. Hmm, maybe there's space in the market for one more training manual...?

I hope this result spurs you on to find a more even-cambered marathon, and maybe next time the stars will align correctly and you will run the perfect race.
