Grantham Canal Run '29.3' My first Ultra run and what a great day! Went very easy in the beginning running and chatting wih some other runners in the group, took a gel at the first checkpoint 4.2m in. Kept the pace steady all on roads/towpath with small inclines over the roads to checkpoint 2 8.4m took a bit of malt loaf and some jelly beans 
Still going nice and steady to checkpoint 3 at 14.4 miles. Then the trouble started!! Grassy,muddy riverbank. Very tough going and sapped everything out of my legs and had 4 mile out on my own so walk run from around 19 miles. Last checkpoint at 20.5m stopped a bit longer for cake,malt loaf and a chat then off again on the grass. A few areas of towpath now appearing so felt good to be on them again, then a few locks showed themselves with nasty little inclines so walking up those and then trying to get going again was hard. Hit the marathon in 4h 31m and a guy i was with at the beginning caught me so we ran together for the last 1.5m when the finish came into view i picked it up lol and logged my max speed for the run!! Medal handed out by the race organiser and energy drink at the finish. Very well organised,friendly race will return for more and know what to expect next time
