    Auckland 2021 (covid-postponed) marathon. Gun time 3:49:11. 13th marathon, unluckily. Went out at my 2020 pace but lack of long distances in training hurt: began fading at 28km, hit the wall hard at 33km - had to run-walk 6km before the final sprint-shamble aided by visualizations. Not unhappy with sub-4h but didn't beat George W Bush's PB today (I always try to beat you, W!) The blazing summer sun for the last hour added to the struggle but I hydrated heaps and enjoyed spectacular views
