GC 1/2 - Feelin gooooood - 1:40:30
I did it! Felt really good on race morning and started out steadily with no problems except a little bit of stiffness from only giving myself a small warm up (I need to stop doing that!) Plan was always to go 5:10 for the first 13km and then do the last 8km under 5mins a k. By the time I got to the turnaround I was well under this (I had kinda got a little caught up in the moment) and when I got to 13km I just went for it... I figured I have to take the next two weeks off anyway, whether I'm smashed or not, so I may as well just go for it and see what happens! The last four km were just absouletly flogging myself, I seem to get better times when I aim for negative splits... So with no training over 10km since Warwick I got another 1:40 time. I think it was the longer rides that have done it, particualrly with the "new" (or at least improved) technique.
Congratulations to everyone else who had a smasher of a day! GC was awesome.
That's about it for me then, see you soon.
P.S. Look out Noosa half - 1:35

What? No mention of your Kinda Surprise ;-)
Congrats on a great run at GCM under difficult circumstances. One day you will run a sub-3 marathon. That's my prediction. You were born to run. Must be your mother's genes ;-)
You will certainly better that 4.27 Marathon time on your next outing!
Great result Owen ;-)
