Net split times (difference)
5 Kilometer	23:42 (23:42) - Awful start, people running at >4hr pace starting right near the front. The first 5k was a series of being held up followed by quick sprints to get round them and was an absolute joke.

10 Kilometer	45:39 (21:57) - Still a bit of congestion but able to get into my stride here

15 Kilometer	1:07:11 (21:32) - First clear split, heart rate is 10bpm higher for the pace compared to training, realise sub3 is long gone so focus on sub 3:10 to get GFA for London next year.

20 Kilometer	1:28:33 (21:22) - Getting into my rhythm

Half marathon	1:33:26 - Bit of room for slowing down in second half and still bagging GFA

25 Kilometer	1:50:24 (21:51) - starting to slow a bit but nothing dramatic

30 Kilometer	2:12:31 (22:07) - continued slow

35 Kilometer	2:35:16 (22:45) - continued slow

40 Kilometer	2:59:10 (23:54) - hanging on

Overall pretty dissappointed but pleased i bagged sub 3:10. Very frustrating start cost me around 2.5 mins in the first 10k and i think not being able to get into my stride here impacted the rest of the race.

Thought for next time: Introducing some MP into the LSRs may get me used to running at MP whilst tired, also increasing the milage (averaged 40 miles per week for 12 week Rotterdam buildup). Unaffiliated 3:09:26 3:09:26 2:59:59 3:09:26 64.17
