Disappointed with the time to be honest. It was 18 degrees in the shade early in the afternoon, and there was very little shade to be had an no cloud cover either. Made it very difficult conditions, and I struggled. Not as much as Gordon Ramsey though who I passed at about the 15 mile mark, and he looked very much worse for wear.
It does mean that I"ll have to do another one now though, so I can get a more respectable PB. I reckon if it had been more agreeable conditions that I could have done it 10 minutes quicker at least.
Amazing day though, and the support of the crowd was fantastic. Really does help you keep going when someone shouts your name out as you"re beginning to flag.
