    3:43:41 Rotorua marathon. A PB and negative split for this hillier-than-Auckland course - and another defeat for Dubya! Stuck with one pace group until the hills at 20km then pushed forward to another, more aggressive one, then slipstreamed a rocketman for the final 7km. Driving rain for the final km. Syrup at 19km and yesterday's pasta kept the Wall at bay and visualisations did the rest. Delighted with this!
