Pre-race routine:

4k walk to get wife and daughter to finish line then back to start for myself

Comments:

Needed to drink more prior to the start. By 3k I was struggling and every kilometer felt like 2. Could not get into rythm or breathing until 7k when i settled enough to make a final push in the last 500m.
What would you do differently?:

better prep and the weather here in the UK has been unseasonally poor for the whole winter and spring, meaning my training has been rubbish.
Post race
Warm down:

walk and massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

poor nutrition, hydration and training

Event comments:
