Well a nice restful day on Saturday and some good football results (United won, Arseanl didn't, Stockport won, City didn't...), but I still felt like I was about to come down with something and seriously thought about not travelling up to Trimpell (near Morecambe) on the Sunday morning. But travel I did and felt OK in teh warm up and set off witha target of 7min miles for the first 10 to see how that made me feel, I hit half way in 1:09:45 and felt good so decided to push on a little bit and see how long I would last.
One gel at 14 miles and lots of concentration brought me home in 2:16:42 which is 10 minutes better than last year and much much more than I could ever have hoped for and puts me nearer to a 3hr finish for London than 3:15 - however I'm smart enough to not even be considering sub 3:00 even though the everage miles splits come out at 6:50's.
Big thanks to Lee (team chauffeur, Steve and Kevin for an enjoyable day) - by the way Kevin finished 8th overall in 2:01 - awesome.
Spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at my Mums and brothers and then ate enough food to last till Friday.
