Run > Race

dodgy tummy throughout, esp laps 1-4
loo stop on laps 1 (@6.66M!) & 2 costing 5 mins each roughly. never regained early pace after stops
still felt queasy on 3 & 4 but determined to run to 26.2. After this feelign rough, went to a 3M/5 min run/walk strategy
lap 5 refreshing rain at first, but really struggled 2nd half as got hot. but 6 hrs for 5 laps, so sub-10 still on
lap 6 not really trying, but still within 1:20s
lap 7 reasonably easy, focussing on hitting just under the 1:20 for sub-10
lap 8 steady, sub-10 in the bag, took it easy. walked a lot
