Budapest marathon - new pb by about 6 minutes :) :)

This was unexpected. I wanted to try to run 4m30 for a long time and see where I got to, and then force the end. I expected a dip in pace around 30km, but that didn't happen.

Pierre joined me at 12km, and we were running 4m33 kms for ages. Nice and steady - a good pace. 

At around 34km l left Pierre. A few km later, I feared that I had gone too soon - it was hard going. I feared I was not going to be able to keep the pace going all the way, but I kept on going ok.

The last 3km were very difficult - I was very close to cramp. I had to prevent that, so there was no silly acceleration.

I was thrilled to finish with this time, 3h15 was an optimistic time for me and this is great :)
