Comments:

The race went normal until the half wich I passed at 1:38... The supplying of the 30 km very well served with gels, banana and orange and one lady who ran to our side offering these valuable goods to us. We pass near the finish line at 32 km but at 35 km the legs had started to weigh the double, and started the desperation to the search of the return point that seems never arrived, and legs were geting heavier and the pace going down and then finaly I saw the finish line and raise the two arms to greet my nephew Afonso and my Parents and to cross the line in 3:25:39
What would you do differently?:

just start a litle bit slower
