That combined with being fed chickpea and cauliflower curry by my host the night before really messed it all up for me. Missed my A and B targets and was 5 mins slower than last year. Blog to follow!

Metro_Nome Apr 2016 7:42am, 6 Apr 2016 3,217 posts	0 Metro_Nome sounds like you did a brilliant job in tough conditions. it's really tough having no control over what you eat, it can make such a difference. my brother lives right near the start of my next marathon but I'm staying in a hotel just so I've got an extra element of control! my mum was a good half an hour outside the time she was capable of- the heat has a lot to answer for, especially when you've been training over the winter. easier said than done, but try not to beat yourself up xx in other news, I've been on page 3/3 waiting to give payment details for 2017's race for 41 minutes now!

I enjoyed it and all that, but it's the first day of the school hols next year, I want my family at my foreign events (was the plan for this year, but 36+5 weeks preggers doesn't make for good travelling) so I'm going to try to find something a bit smaller.
