Race race (50K British champs) 3:28:46 [4] 31.1 mi (6:43 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Boston
Day started off cool, but first 12.5K was into a strong head wind. The temperature increased substantially throughout the rest of the race. The last 12.5k was really hot, and the splits dropped.
Splits
1-5 mile: 31:19
6-10 mile: 31:16
11-15 mile: 31:35
16-20 mile: 33:01
21-25 mile: 34:45
26-30 mile: 37:51
31 mile: 7:25
After the first lap I was going well, but start of the 2nd lap I got a bit flustered trying to put the next 5 gels in the belt, then the head wind was strong again and the pace slipped a bit. Also a blister started to annoy me on sole of Rt foot.
Pleased with result, but need to work on the pace, maybe 32mins per 5 mile to start with
