Gobi 7 big laps and a small lap on a course that was largely hardpack/path. Used as a training run with plans to keep my HR under 75%(came in at 75%) but accepting a small rise on the small slopes on the course. I had agreed to run the small lap and first long lap at a controlled pace to show the course to a few people. Put me about a minute behind where I would have been running my own pace but never an issue on a training run. Took the lead on lap 4 and slowly ran away from the field. I won by 3 mins and 40 seconds from Ian Berry who had run 3 marathons in 4 days all in under 3.10. Marathon came up in 3.00.30 seconds and I finished first in 3.02.18 Could I have got under 3 hours? Of course but there are bigger events coming up so why risk the training, we all know a lot of the damage is done in the last 6 miles(big picture). First race I have done of marathon distance or longer where I have had no cramp at all. :¬) Two small niggles - I got a blister(been a long time) and I couldn't stop peeing(5 in 7 laps). The peeing was funny as during the race I only took 3 gels and about 50ml of lucozade yet 3 miles from the finish I needed to stop and PEE!!!! Happy with the end result though.
