Had to accept a finish outside the cut-off (even the new, extended cut-off) at the London to Brighton this year. Started quite fast (probably too fast) as I was just letting my legs do as they would and concentrating n navigation rather than pace. This meant that, inevitably, the pace dropped and I didn't realise by how much until the realisation dawned that I was now pushing the cut-off for Cp5 (about 49 miles).
Full report to follow.
