4hrs 45mins for my marathon. I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get the target 4:40, and I really thought I could get 4:30 so that's brought me done to earth a bit. Could have been worse I suppose. I had forgotten how much you can suffer when the wheels fall off, and that happened around the 18 mile mark. 8 miles of walk/shuffle is not much fun.
Anyway, onwards and upwards and I can start thinking about the Outlaw now. I originally planned to enter the Outlaw after this marathon to see how I felt, but don't think it would have changed anything. My disappointing time is not bad enough to put serious doubts, and in fact is just reinforces the fact that longer runs are important to improve stamina so it's a lesson learned (although I already knew it!).
