Given the Finchley 20 just 3 days prior, its surprisingly how quickly the legs seem to have recovered. I started slowish and didn't expect much. In fact, I hadn't eaten much all day. But this was one of those runs where I kept having to hold back, particularly around 5 miles in.
Good to feel like this, but conscious its all too easy to over egg it so soon after a long one, and 20 miles is the further I've competitively ran before so going to err on side of caution.
Had a shocker in the hotel afterwards. The Thai noodles were on the menu, but sold out. The poor subsequent decision was the Burger (New Yorker with extra cheese and bacon) with fries. Sat like a lead balloon. Took a mental note of that one.
