Comments:

Ran with Ben. He kept me on pace. Actually well above pace. But I'm not complaining. Did start to feel very fatigue at mile 11 so I let Ben go on ahead without me. But I still turned in a couple of reasonable miles despite how I felt. But people were beginning to come past me.
Half way through my marathon training for Grandmas and I post a new PB for the Half marathon. That fills me with confidence for Grandmas.
What would you do differently?:

A PB by over 5 minutes!!! I'm not going to do anything differently
Post race
Warm down:

some stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Abso-bloody-lutely nothing.

Event comments:

A very well organised race. A few signs to direct you to the packet pick up would have been nice the day before. But a highly recommended race.

Couldn't have done it without some excellent pacing from Ben (benihana) though.
Thanks Ben!!!

Great job! Way to keep pace and get your PR! I can identify with you... I was feeling it at about mile 11 too.
