Start had to be pushed back by half an hour due to a fire near the course. Was spot on track to finally break 45:00, but failed because the last km was, according to my Garmin, 1100m long. Avg speed was 4:25, so happy with progress, but a tad disappointed by the time.

Had a bit of a scare 3 days ago when I banged my head and ended up with a 3cm cut in my head...

1min 19secs faster than last year in similar conditions. Splits were quite erratic, but speed was consistent according to the Garmin. Pleased with progress so far. Would be nice to crack 45 minutes on Sunday.
