116th overall; 101st Male (didn’t crack the top 100, though pipped Hannah Erwin at the end!)

As you can probably tell from the splits, had a pretty rough day from the start with a stitch that gradually got worse till the 15km mark where I mentally had to dig in deep. Proud to make the decisions I did to ensure I made it across the line without any issues as people were dropping like flies or some collapsing on the side due to the heat. Definitely a tough course but it’s not to say it wasn’t a PB course given Gressier won it in a 59:45 with a new PB so I think this result is a good indicator of where my current level of fitness is only having started running about 2-3 weeks ago in returning from my biomechanic injury. I’ll be working towards picking myself up from this to see everyone cheering on the streets for us runners in 2 weeks time. Bring on London!
