So after weeks of planning I had my race yesterday. I did not manage to run the full 17 miles . . .
I ran 20.
The fucking course was 10 miles long rather than the 8.5 it was advertised. I still completed it twice and my time the first run through was better than I expected given the distance (put me right about the top 35% of the elite runners and one of the top 1-2% or so of the overall field). I'm a bit sore today but no where near as bad as expected. Today will be a "do as little as possible" day to recover.
I'll post more later. Time to eat.
