Czech out my amazing time! Sorry, don't mean to Prague about it.

My 4th marathon to date and although the slowest, I'm absolutely over the moon to have snuck into the sub 3.30 mark. Some reflections:

- unreal conditions, as good as you could ask for
- flat course and very scenic but the cobllestones were you bit annoying. I wouldn't choose the course if going for a PB
- salt and sugar sachets with water are as good as any gel
- ran the first half at a good speed but crashed heavy then, thought I'd lost the sub 3.30 but managed to keep going. Body aching for the second half
- at about 35k the chaffing started in earnest
- had 5k to go on exactly 3 hours so thought I'd finish up okay but it was tough
- proud to have the mental resolve to push me through to the end
- another strong marathon finish. This one felt great
- grateful that I'm th type of person to write long Strava updates as I started drafting this for the final 3k to distract myself
- finally, if you're going to a spa afterwards with your brother be sure to ask for separate tubs ahead of time


Very proud of this one and gonna enjoy the beers now. Huge shout out to the young John fella. Very few people have run two full marathons on as little training as him 😂
