jdarun Apr 2018 2:48pm, 8 Apr 2018 2,696 posts	0 jdarun Yeah, pretty satisfied with that. Set out around 2:47 pace, felt very easy (but doesn’t it always) and then just a slight drift in pace until the very last few km when the left leg started to play up again. Will blog in more detail some time. A week of schnitzel and cake to enjoy now (already in airport lounge).

Brunski Apr 2018 3:15pm, 8 Apr 2018 953 posts	0 Brunski Top running JDA, that's a cracking effort mate, well done and congrats on the PB, halved the gap to the 2:45 you're after, brilliant!

jdarun Apr 2018 3:29pm, 8 Apr 2018 2,698 posts	0 jdarun Well actually that’s the slight disappointment. I haven’t halved the gap, I chipped 3 mins off and have 4 still to go. Would have been a whole lot happier sub 2:48 but can’t have everything!
Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 3:52pm, 8 Apr 2018 700 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Congratulations jda - that's a cracking chunk to take off your PB at this stage. Enjoy the break.

Fordyboy Apr 2018 9:27pm, 8 Apr 2018 132 posts	0 Fordyboy Congrats JDA from a very envious Rotterdam DNF’er. Made it to about 30k (admittedly only on for about 3:04 pace) before my knee gave out and I decided it was stupid to aggravate it and continue and end up with a time that I wouldn’t have been happy with anyway. Bed time now so will report back fully early in the week but thanks again to everyone for the kind words. I’ll be back.
