Brisbane Marathon : 3.27.33

The week after 3.16.13 in Canberra.
A very comfortable run with 1.43/1.44 splits. It did get tough from 33k or so to 39k but managed to just stay relaxed and steady and got through it. The weather was overcast and cool and so that made the run just that much easier.
No injuries going in and none after.
Next major event the North Face 100k in the Blue Mountains on the 17 May. 5 weeks and plenty of time to get in some more high k weeks - partly for that event but longer term for Gold Coast in July.
I am off to Byron Bay mid week for 6 days on the farm. I plan to start the long runs again while away. Again back to some more Lydiard base building with 4.45/5/00 per k being the slowest pace and the shorter runs up at MP.

Fine effort to back up so well after Canberra Ray. Nice even splitting too.

Well done on the weekend. You guys sure looked comfy out there. I'm glad we were able to throw on some decent weather too, seemed like perfect conditions.

Sorry we didn't get to chat other than a fleeting hello as you ran past. Next time!

You are a metronome Ray, solid and consistent as ever. See you at NF100.

Enjoy Byron Bay Ray - a great location to get in some miles for North Face and GC.
