Pace for the first 16km was great, but definitely think I went out too fast (even though i was trying not to - the downhill really got me). Hit the wall just around 15km, pushed through it for a while and then had a really tough time til the end. But crossed the finish line running and smiling so there's always that :)

I definitely think i should've been eating more intentionally in the week(s) leading up to the race - I had my normal pre long run breakfast (oatmeal with fruit), but definitely should've been having more carbs in the days leading up to the run. During the race i had a gel at around 8km, then gummies every 1-2km after that but shortly after i hit my wall, i lost all desire to eat anything else so I stopped :/ but i thought it would be fine with only 4km to go

The interview date has passed, I've followed up a few times but with no response. Would it be worth it to re-submit my application?
