I'm posting from an Internet Cafe in Inverness, and have to pay by the minute, so a full race report is out of question (plus, I'm waaaay too tired to write one). You'll have to wait until Monday evening.
3:12:32 (according to my watch)
I didn't quite make the 3:10 I was hoping for, but I'm pretty happy nevertheless. The last two miles were pretty tough and my right calf started cramping, but I just about made it over the line without having to slow down dramatically. It's a PR by over 16 minutes, and I have to be satisfied with that, don't I? Boston 2009 seems to be a real option now.
The weather was pefect, mostly cloudy, hardly any wind, and the temperatures around 13C/55F at the finish.
Nice race, Thomas...a 16 MINUTE PR. That's fantastic! Take it easy now and recover well. Cheers!
