I thought I was near the front but obviously wasn't as I spent the first 1k dodging and diving to get the pace up from a shuffle. I was going to have a gripe about self-seeding but then I realised that I was the one who joined the start line at 8.30am so can't blame anyone but myself.

Apart from a 20-30 sec delay for a much needed toilet stop (tree stop actually), I was really happy with my time. My goal was to go under 65mins and finished in 64.33. In the 12km to 13km, I flew down the hill in 3.47 making up some lost time on the very heartbreaking Heartbreak Hill. I beat my previous best by more than 5mins!

Must remember to train on hills before next year also.

Next step, half-marathon training - maybe I can still do sub-90 this year :)
