Nerves

So who would have thought that the added pressure of running on a given day, at a given time with a mere other 14,999 people would add so many nerves into the mix?!  Not sure how it can be avoided, other than telling myself that I have done this before and that when the 'gun' goes - it is just the same as any other (training) run.  Plus of course ensuring you have everything ready the day before... including the mandatory safety pins.

Urgh a really slow 2hr17min - which was kinda what I planned just not comfy at all, started right and then sped up too quickly. Bet you were way ahead. Found the heat hard too.
