pb by 20 mins
yes too wacked for write up sunday.....what to say hmmmmmm........pleased with time, err yes sort of, was secretly hoping for 4.15 as did alot more training and bp was under control this year.
wasnt so much the weather but body this year, started off needing toilet, stopped at 2 miles then felt good, hot weather kicked in, the merge at 3 miles was awful, didnt see that last year, dam people everywhere, hence not seeing blue line for lot of race. Slowed up over Tower Bridge was being too nosy looking for wj,s speedy runners coming the other way, thrilled to see MM and knew Marts wouldnt be far behind, then saw his :-)face as he ran by.
Was sooo good to see 'our gang' at 17/18 , you actually crave to see someone you know, oh and had another pit stop at 17/18 hence log mile!!!! Was great to see swerver, cooperman, mark ......went under tunnel, watch stopped and came out with 7.16 on garmin, crazy what tunnels do to time, got past 20 /21/22/23/ and felt good knowing that was nearly it, felt better at this point than last year....sadly no werries at 800m, guess i was too slow and they had all gone to W tree.
Its done and just want to say BIG thanks to everyone who helped with training, support, encouragement over the last 16 weeks, wouldnt have done it without you all, and of course OM and Mrs C who made the day so stress free and do a superb job running the bus, thanks x

Well done!fantastic run , looked strong at 15 miles good pace.
Awesome run , totally deserved massive PB, Fantastic stuff. Well done
Superb run SGJ, you were so fast at m16 that I missed you! Brilliant PB, well done.
Brill run you should be really pleased with your time I think the heat played a big part. You certainly didn't look like you had run a marathon when you got to the W tree you had the biggest smile.
