The day has been and gone and the goal has been met, sort of.
Up at five after a poor night's kip. It was seriously cold upon arrival, nerves were shot. Picked up the wrong chip, returned it and five trips to the lav' later and it's down to the start. What seems like a marathon later and the start line is reached.
15 mins later and were off, running at my required pace it is soon apparant to me that all is not well. Two miles in and i'm struggling, rallies around six miles and seems ok. Unfortunately the penninsula appears and the assorted hills. After one lap of the penninsula and I'm shot. Eleven miles into the race and I'm walking, this is a distance I can do with no problems whatsoever. Walking/running through to the end see's me finish in a time of 5hours 36mins and 5secs. I do manage to running for some decent spells towards the end and I think that bodes well for future runs.
