Perth Marathon III done..4hr 18...
1km-3.59, 5km 22.44 10km 47.58 12km 59.44 15km 1hour 15 20km 1hr 48 Half splits; 1hr 54/2hr 23...Last 1.2km was about 5.03 per km pace...last 200m was 49 seconds? Was able to throw in 5min per km splits a few times after 10km but too much 6-7min or slower splits...
Well I beat one reserve target of 4hr 20..but the rest fell by the wayside...first 10km was pretty much on target, drinks strategy worked extremely well,very nice conditions although a little on the warm side in the last 12km...Unfortunately my suspect prep,lack of long runs (only one 32km run over 21km) found me wanting...Again ended up walking a lot of the section after Canning Highway/Raffles with the concrete paths...Other than that fairly happy with the run even though did not threaten my PB or the 3.30...Probably my last Perth Marathon for awhile,although may do some different marathons, and still want to do 6-inch and 6-foot....
Yesterday and today my quads are sooooooo sore as to be expected, but will ease back into some rides soon...
On the morning of the race my RHR was 54 and I was thinking maybe I should pull out of it, but I thought no I have to give it a go..and I am very glad I showed up, it was a lot of fun, and enjoyed the challenge and seeing many people out there I know, plus having my Dad along as well...enjoyed the day a lot despite the slowish time...

Congrats on the finish Jonathon - well done.
Well done Jon, sorry I didnt hang around after to say hi - felt a little average.
Hope you get the injuries under control and/or knee operation you've mentioned before and come out in 07 or 08 and get that sub 330 - I know I'll be back to do it next year after just missing out.
