Looks like asimonov is also off the tracker, before halfway. 66_lad gefinished in in 2:52:33 (quite the PB), healy is sprinting for a PB as I type but nowhere near planned race pace, boydkev blew up somewhere before the 30k timer, asrv blew up slightly after that, druss is also way off planned pace and quickfeet is a little over PB pace.
So basically unless your name is 66_lad, things haven't gone as well as planned

Congrats 66Lad. That's how it's done!
This was always going to go one of two ways for me. Undertrained going into it and paid for it.
But in my defence the phantom pain in my foot became very real at about halfway so I was favouring the outside of my foot which led to more issues later on. Then I stopped to help a guy in the park who had passed out. Amazing how many people just stepped over him. My race was as good as done so no harm being a good Samaritan. (I'm sure I'll be cursing the 10-15 minutes it cost me later tonight )

I went for my aggressive target and held the pace for the first 9-10 miles, but not surprisingly, the injuries that have beleaguered me for the last 6 months were my eventual undoing. By half way, I knew the sub 2:30 was off the cards, so I reset my expectations and had the most enjoyable marathon experience of my running career. Hundreds of thousands of spectators came out for what felt like my testimonial and it was a blast. A pain- riddled blast, but great craic nonetheless. Time for a well needed marathon break, and set the horizons on a summer of track and shorter races. The next chapter begins.
Well, in that case ... well done and enjoy the beers! 0 -

Valencia is 34 weeks, trust me, you won't regret it
