After all of the training that goes into a marathon, it still came as a shock to find out just how difficult 42K is. Full of enthusiasm I went out at what I thought was a reasonable pace. Wrong. Everyone who knew what they were doing was overtaking me 15k from the finish. 10k from finish I was too tired to suck the jelly bean and I couldn't coax the gel to the back of the throat.
I think I finished in sub 3. 40 and immediately after the run was telling myself I won't be running a marathon again. By Tuesday I was devising a strategy for my next marathon.
It was a great course. Loved the bikeway, the Patawalonga, the Esplanade, the Torrens. Received great encouragement from spectators
