38th of 380 finishers

Very pleased with a new marathon PB, precisely 11 minutes quicker than Shakespeare 2013 in Stratford upon Avon.

About 40% of it is offroad on paths through the forest, and the rest is on pretty roads so a beautifully scenic course.

I passed the lady who was first at about 19 miles: https://www.strava.com/activities/391326363

It was nice to have shouts of "Come on 144" as I ran around the final lap of the site, and especially as I sprinted the finish

I have hacked the GPX file somewhat to get the distance up to a marathon (my watch had 26.21, but Strava considered it shorter). Also iterated until the Strava marathon PB came out as my official race time.

Mile splits/pace from my Garmin:
