The Canberra Marathon started in rain and finished in sunshine. Standing on the starting line I felt good and my taper was perfect. The first 10k were a little slow, I had to pick my way though people who had started too close to the starting line.

Everything was going well until about the 28k mark when my glutes started to tighten up. I kept pushing on but my pace was dropping. The Pat Carroll pacers for the 3:30 and then the 3:45 passed me and I tried to tag along for as long as I could. Not sure what my official time was but the Garmin said 3:59:28.

A good run but a hard run. Got home and went for a soak at Pine Is. I was in the water for 6 mins and then the rain pelted down.
