Well what a fantastic event - a great choice for my first marathon.
Well its two days now since I completed the marathon, and I'm still feeling it big style. My legs dont appear to work properly and I'm just really tired - some of this may have been due to the beer that was consumed on Sunday though :0(
What did I learn from my first marathon:-
1. Marathons are not easy to complete in any way
2. Marathons are psychologically challenging - especially the last few miles
3. I should of trained harder - by putting in more 20+ miles runs
4. Nutrition is essential for completing a marathon - and I may have undervalued it
5. If I think that was hard - the Ironman is going to emphasize these fivehold :0(
So although I went through an immense amount of pain in the final few miles of the marathon - at least I've learnt what will happen by not taking my training seriously enough - and I think I'll buy the video so I can remind myself how painful those last few hundred metres actually were !!!!
