00:00Hi, brilliant, much better than expected, especially through the marathon block to smoke at the moment training, high mileage, high volume, and I've probably got 60 miles on the leg before I even turned up today, ended a couple of miles prior with a warm up, marathon pace for two miles, mile easy, and then into this race, so it's just to see how the legs will cope with the high volume and at the speeds I'm hoping for for the marathon.
00:26So, yeah, it went much better than expected. I was stunned with the elevation. I thought 600 feet's not that bad because I did Ben Nevis Skyline that long ago, but the way it's set out and you hit some hills that are cheeky and they burn you up, but then you've also got the downhills, what goes up must come down, that helps out, and then you can get the pace back in the legs and go for it, but yeah, it went really good, much better than expected.
