Third fastest marathon

I ran the Victoria marathon in 3:22.14 (4:48 pace) earlier today. Running a marathon never seems to get any easier.

I found that I was running steady for the first 10km and right through the first half, which I completed in 1:36.17. From about the 27-km mark, I struggled. It was not unexpected as I had yet to find my form in the long runs that I did in training.

I fought through a few demons and was able to finish relatively strong. While I had hoped to run a bit faster, I'm content with the fitness that I have at this point and I am eager to get on the trainer and start spinning my legs through winter.

I was 32nd out of 210 in my age group. It was a competitive field - 12 in my age group finished sub3. The top four finished between 2:43 and 2:45!!!
