run (TRANSGRANCANARIA MARATHON) 4:03:51 [4] 24.89 mi (9:48 / mi) +1212m 8:31 / mi
Race postponed until Sat at last minute. had to book another flight home and sneak into Kate H hotel to sleep on her floor afterwards. good start right behind the elites and quick out of garanon
paths really wet. not happy on the cobbled path - very slow going down. bit frustrated, got the feeding stations right and nutrition spot on. much more tired after ayargueres this year,
slower up the final ascent but quicker in riverbed. slower last 2 miles but overall much quicker 56 mins quicker than last year. however a mile shorter - so lets says 45 mins Passed majority in 2nd half of race.
12 lady overall and 2nd in age category. very happy and amazed to get an old lady prize.
Achilles - didn't hurt at all. in fact thought It was cured. the taper certainly helped but I dosed up on ibuforfen day before race and paracetomal during. was ok afterwards but a few days into rest I started to feel it again
