Christchurch marathon. Official times: 3:42:53 (gun); 3:41:15 (chip). Went out too fast, as the km splits show - 5:05/km wasn’t sustainable and I began a slump at 32km and then hit the wall at 36. It was grim but isotonic drink and visualisations kept me slogging on. Managed to find a sprint back up to 5:15/km for the last km. At least I beat George W Bush’s 1993 Houston marathon time, which is my benchmark. Marathon #11 done. Next: Rotorua in 4 weeks
