Sub 7 or sub 12 , same 90kms, same rules apply The Down run is only Down after 54kms... Don't go off too fast... the first 22kms are BRUTAL.. and can end your race. I plan to average sub4.40s for the day but I wont be much under 4.50 average at 20kms.. 1min made up on the first 22kms will be 3mins lost in finish time. Walk, but walk on your own terms, whether its 90secs every hour like I do (I try and do them on the base of the big named hills) or 60sec walk every 10mins it doesn't matter... If you are walking on your own plan it doesn't feel like your race is unravelling... Keep moving forward, don't ever go backwards on course, there are water points every 1.5-2kms in the second half, if you miss something wait for the next one... As Stretch says... Respect Tradition, Say Good Morning to Arthur... Sing the national anthem, No one is bigger than this race..
