Easiest area of the 3. First off so took slightly longer than wanted to plan a direction from the start kite. After that it was easy enough to nav just by looking up and running off trees / junctions.

Set off 4th in the chasing start leading a pack of 4. The front 3 of Spongey, Schminty and Peter Molloy were too far ahead so I just wanted to maintain position.
Slight hesitation on 1 and the others were on me straight away. Poor exit so hit the wrong path. I realised soon enough and dropped Noah for the time being. Lead Rudi and Louis to 2 - 5 then again a hesitation on 6 and they were all on me. Lead them 7-8 but didn't spike 9. Chose a different route choice on 10, opting for the road, and this was quicker so lead 10-14.
Last effort now and I chose not to take a bearing to 15 across the paths. The others followed me and we were actually far too far West. I luckily realised quickest and it ended up a comfortable run home for 4th. Great fun

Note
I started training for this unofficially 3.5 weeks ago but now I have confirmed my entry. 150 days to go
I have not run a marathon previously as I always had the excuses that I wouldn't do one before I was 25 or while I was prioritizing other races. I then found myself a few months back thinking about the plans for next year and these previous excuses were no longer valid. I also realised this was perhaps the best opportunity I would get, given other friends are also marathon training.
Time-wise my hope to run under 2:40. This is a little over the VDOT equivalent of a 1:14:30 half but at this stage I still need to do lots of long training runs at this pace. I can always re-evaluate later. I would prefer to have a good first experience than to have a negative one and never want to enter one again.

A winter session in the dark, wet and wind. Again at Galloping Glen and it was very slippy. Legs were a bit tired from football so, with with it being slower than last week, I just tried to maintain consistency and good form.
