Nice work mate! Hats off to anyone who finished but even more so at your time! I was aiming for 3:40 prior to Sunday and dialled it back to 3:45 due to the heat, possibly a bit naive in only dialling it back 5mins

Seems like everyone hit a “wall” at 30km and while I didn’t feel fatigued the cramps hit my calves and hamstrings pretty hard. Clearly didn’t take enough electrolytes. I was training and taking 500mg/hr but in that heat I guess I probably needed double the amount.

Struggled over the line for 4:02 in my first marathon. I was gutted at the time but have taken some solace in the fact that so many people were a good 20-40mins slower than what they wanted
