The year in review across all distances. Not a lot of appearances through out the year but still some good moments and as always plenty to take away! Back into some shorter stuff in the new year, before Ballarat half and Gold Coast in July!

HONOLULU MARA RECAP - 2:48:16 - 27th

A very wet and steamy morning last week for the Honolulu marathon. Coming into the event I knew I had a very limited prep but was still confident I could run a pretty solid marathon still. The plan was to start conservative for the first half and then attack a few sections in the back half of the race and ideally negative split it. 30k onwards become quite tough and I noticed the lack of Mara specific work in the legs, I was able to hold on and not let it blow out to much and ended up crossing the line in 2:48, Ideally I would of liked to be under 2:45 but crossing the line is crossing the line and I’m happy to get across another.

Doing a hot marathon was a cool experience but such a different ball game! I think I’ll take some great confidence out of this now moving forward into marathons that could be 10-12 degrees cooler!

A great way to finish the year, in such a cool spot!
