Edinburgh Marathon - Course measured long.

After the first 10-15miles decided to change plan and just survive the marathon due to the weather late 20's, so slowed over a minute per mile. Found the run hard work, but just had to stay with it mentally chipping away at it. They ran out of water from 16-22, so not fun really as no shade, and felt quite sunburnt. Just dug in as was on for a P.B, until I had to make a decision to go to the loo, decided not to, but then nature took it out of my hands at mile 24.6 and had to stop for about a 2 min break and a dive over a wall and down a ditch into the undergrowth. Please to finish just over a min off my P.B, a little gutted that the weatehr was so hot as wanted to have a good go. Finished the race and was all pins and needley with weird fuzzy head! Winter marathons next me thinks!
