I thought I was in good 10k shape, but the weather was against front-running. It was just too windy, ... My legs feel OK, I just did not have the pace at the end in the last 1,000 meters.
Last year happened - I'm never going to be happy with it but I have moved on.
Nothing will make up for what happened last year,
The problem last year was that I knew things were falling apart in the last two weeks before the marathon,
I have been getting back into it during the last four weeks or so when I have not been doing huge mileage,
