Gold Coast Marathon 2012

Managed a BQ in 3:14:29.  Weather was good, with clear skies and temperatures ranging 11-20 deg C.  Felt slightly warm due to blazing Sun but keeping cool was not an issue due to low temperatures and relative humidity.  Great pacing by Dave made it relatively easy going.  Could have run quite a bit faster but felt calves were beginning to cramp twice between 36-40k mark hence decided to nurse it home.  Hydration wasn't an issue - was careful to drink enough water and started loading with salts a week prior.  Aerobically was in fine fettle, felt like a training run.
