FLORA LONDON MARATHON - Ran the first half (with 2FlatFeet) in 2:05. Continued with nothing but running until mile 16. Then, because of the extreme heat, went into pure 'survival' mode - with a minute's walk break per mile and virtually 'jogging' the running segments. Second half took 2:14. Bluntly I, like so many others, was a victim of the sizzling weather. Looking back, I'm not disappointed with the time. I did my best on the day. Can't say that I enjoyed much of the race. The crowd support was mind-numbingly awesome, but to be honest I just wanted to get it over and done with and get out of the Sun. The exception was the final mile, which was really memorable. Also, having that iconic medal hung around my neck.
