Dear little baby Jesus, who's sittin' in his crib watchin the Baby Einstein videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors...

Thanks for everyone's nice comments. The legs are feeling pretty good and recovering well since the weekend. I have done three shorter runs this week which have felt good, however I will make sure that I have tomorow off and take it easy into next week. I have been eating like the real Hamburglar, which has been great fun but the time for celebrating might need to come to a close very soon.

Not sure what is next on the race front. Thinking of having a crack at Canberra or even pacing Alastair to ~ 3:25 and then going on to do the 50k? Or, I may be sensible and take it easy for a couple of weeks and then having a good preparation for SMH half and that bloody sub 40 10k. I will see how I feel in a week or so.

I have had a detailed look at the sixfoot results which show just how slow I started. If there were no waves...

I was coming:

303rd at Cox's
286th at the top of Pluvio and
200th at the finish

Only 3 guys with slower splits then me at Pluvio, finished in front of me. That means only three guys would have passed me after Pluvio and I would have passed 89 others. Wow. I will definitely have to pick up the pace a little (but not too much) next year down to the cox's. But the sub 2 hour final split was great, even with the slow final decent.

Has anyone seen Talladega Nights?
