This is often why some many marathoner runners 'hit the wall'. <a href="http://www.adrianagrillet.com/" rel="nofollow">Adriana Grillet</a><br />Matiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810391078111197553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-37491425123488914822014-06-18T19:38:14.280+01:002014-06-18T19:38:14.280+01:00rename the blog 'diary of a podium regular'...rename the blog 'diary of a podium regular'. sterling work thomas, congratulationsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-32270612212716659612014-06-18T14:14:18.743+01:002014-06-18T14:14:18.743+01:00Well done Thomas with such a great performance and...Well done Thomas with such a great performance and excellent blog. I was in the 100k but was medically withdrawn after 85k due to a personal problem. I was doing well until I fell apart after 60k in my first race over 50k. You might remember me shouting to you at one point that I read your blog while you cruised past my staggering form! This was my first ever DNF and I can’t leave it like that – I’ll be back!Marathon Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360044785053829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-30146750115142167122014-06-17T15:19:21.550+01:002014-06-17T15:19:21.550+01:00Great report Thomas - with thanks, AGreat report Thomas - with thanks, Acaninemarathonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358384475210404573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-87704690139376637662014-06-17T13:14:23.438+01:002014-06-17T13:14:23.438+01:00Awesome run, congratulations!

I do blame the Massive overdose of electrolytes on my sharp Fall from grace. However I Took a bit of a gamble at the start & thought I might be able to hold a stronger pace for the second half. I suppose I learned something from it, and hopefully It will aid in my next race. Well done on a good race. If I had thought you were really struggling that much in the last 30k I would have possibly dug a bit deeper! I honestly thought you were just being polite when you acnolaged that you felt just as bad as I did as you passed me! :-) it was great seeing you again Thomas.The underdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798689508518527465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-75080771800987245862014-06-17T08:00:17.035+01:002014-06-17T08:00:17.035+01:00Great write up - congrats on 3rd!Great write up - congrats on 3rd!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647087003740791714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-71163507387310377972014-06-17T06:33:10.604+01:002014-06-17T06:33:10.604+01:00Good report Thomas.
