A mixed bag today. I was running well, albeit being very tough to run that distance on the flat. Unfortunately after 31 miles I decided to call it a day, knee was still sore from last weekend, and if I'm going to sacrifice my body for a race, it will be in a few weeks at the UTS100 and not today.

Think I was in 2nd at the time, which is a shame, and I could have probably limped the last 8 or 9 miles home in a time which would have been good enough for a podium place last year (although I suspect only top 5 or 10 today). But live to fight another day.

Always a bitter pill to swallow, to drop out of any race.
