Out in the arvo for various reasons. Quentin and Justin thankfully joining in. 36km on the cards with some sort of fast finish. But because it wasn't 6am we were pretty quick from the start. Q dropped off after 17km and Justin and I picked up the pace too early (at around 20km). We'd been around North Head, up to Fitness First then back around the golf club. Did 2 loops of the golf course averaging mid 3:30's, but having been doing a few mid 3:40's before that it was enough for me.
Eased off for the final 5km around Nolans and the blood sugar levels got very low in the final km.
Final 18km (when Q gave me his watch after mine bombed) averaging 4:00. All up 36km I guess in 4:10's. Solid but worried about bonking in the marathon. Nutrition will be key.

Get bonking and Nutrition out of our head. Your fine just focus on running easy. Obviously you've been consuming gels but the carb drinks at the stations is more than enough - kanser
36k two weeks before the marathon? I would have thought down to only 2 hrs at this point.
