Not quite the result I was hoping for but still 17kms.
It was a 4 bottle in the belt kind of day, I only took 2. That was my first mistake. Second mistake was taking my third gel too late. Things took a downward turn after 12 kms when I started to get a skin chill. At 14 kms I took my gel as my signature calf cramps kicked in. I have worked out they indicate lack of salt, fuel and water. And once they kick in there is no saving me from walking. So last 3 kms were a walk. I really wanted to finish about 2:24. But will take a smidgen over 2:30 seeing I walked the last 3 kms.
So this was
200/800 x 8
200/500/100/200 x 1
200/800 x 3
200/500/100/200 x 1
1.0 x 3 walk
It my first go at these distances in over 15 months so not being too hard on myself. Will stay at 17kms next week rather than going to 18.
