Good to run Brighton again, especially after the uncertainty when grounded events went bust. Interesting changes to the route, but I was surprised at the amount of the basin road we ran. Tried to beat 5 hours, but finished in 5:04 and felt satisfied with my result. Talking about the winner this year, I did a training camp in Portugal 2 weeks ago, and Marshall Smith was there. Had a few good chats with him. Someone mentioned he was one of the favourites to win. I'm thinking he could be a great GB prospect?

My 5k time didn't register and I was only two seconds slower than my Garmin. Overall distance covered was 26.43 miles. A bit surprising as I didn't think I weaved around all that much.

Plus Hove Lawns to Hove Station is a mile tops and less of an uphill climb than Madeira Drive to Brighton Station; so from that point of view not that challenging Ah thanks, I didn’t know there was a Hove Station. I was pondering what the travel options were if I were theoretically to enter in future.

I was about 0.1 mile ahead of the mile markers by mile 3 and baffled as that was a clear enough up & back! Minimal weaving from me as well. From then I just seemed quite steady on the distance gain. Happy enough to not have bloody 27 miles creep up on me!

One guy shouted out Fetch and then the guy he was with said "Fetch, I don't think that's a name" 🤣🤣
