Started off pretty strong. Cool temperature and wind made perfect running conditions. As it has been very dry the past weeks, the course was all pretty hard surface, except for some dusty roads. At 25km we decided to set the pace down a bit for the next 25 (though after 2km we were already almost back at the original pace).
Maarten ran into problems as he started on (almost) brand new shoes. He had his heels completely open half way, started to adjust his running style and developed pain in his hips and back as a result, which made things even worse.
Myself I had a huge dip at roughly 50km, but after some gels and a bar things went better and I still had plenty spare in the last 17km.
