Thanks for the messages of support. Bit disappointed not to have gone under 3, but pleased enough with a PB. Bad news Kev H, my chip time was 3:04:43, which if I'm not mistaken equals your PB, just like I promised, well I think I might have said I was gonna blow it away, but such is the nature of revisionist, humble pie-hindsight. Went through 10m in 66min and halfway in 1:28 so it was always gonna be touch and go. I managed to keep the sub 3hr pacing balloon in sight until 20m when it mysteriously disappeared up the road, coincidentally at the same time my quads turned to lead. Obviously this was the time to take a big suck up pill and wash it down with a can of hard, but alas there didn't seem to be a ready supply at the feed stations.
