Well the middle of the road club

A race report from the Lake Biwa marathon. Ironically I couldnt find any Internet cafes in Japan, well I didn't look that hard really. The race lead-in I felt like I had got my body right, which I hadn't done so before, and the speed was almost at my best, my endurance and fitness was 100%. The weather was good it was just a matter of execution which was good, i raced steadily for a good time or a PB, not a all or nothing approach. I managed to feel good passing people all the way, had someone sitting on me b/w 25-40k and then one guy went past and I couldn't respond as I would like. By then I knew it was neck and neck with my PB of 2:17:35.

Anyway,
5k - 16:07
10k - 15:55, 32:02
15k - 16:07, 48:10
20k - 16:02, 64:12 (67:49 half)
25k - 16:09, 1:20:22
30k - 16:35, 1:36:59
35k - 16:40, 1:53:39
40k - 16:57, 2:10:36
Finish 2:28:13 (7:36)
