Run > Race

OW, I knew going in to this I was not as fit as I would have liked and short on the number of long runs, but was not expecting the slogfest I ended up with. Went out just under 8MM as planned and all was good to 10 miles when the Quads (Medialis) started to tighten and cramp, it did not ease off and I had cramping quads all the way back. Adopted a run walk strategy at 15 miles, but even that gave out at 22 when any attempt to move faster than a walk resulted in cramp. BUT, main goal achived marathon done without the need of medical attention. A modest PB rather than the aimed for but a PB never the less.

Chip Time: 04:23:04
Gun Time: 04:23:42
Position: 1496 (top 40%?)
M45: 177

Good course through rolling countryside with a start winding through Chester which was good for keeping the pace steady in the early miles, shame I did not do it justice today as the conditions were almost perfect.
