With Alex on pacing duty a weekend that turned to be cut our loses at 20 miles and save the legs for another day it reached 24/25 degrees and due to pace dropping new the goal of sub 2hrs 40 was not going to be the finish time. It turned out the 3rd lady local Catalonia also blew up and finished what was predicted 2hrs 36 in 2hrs 45 which was well within in reach. Saved the legs with the back up of Manchester marathon 3 weeks later…….
