Felt great for about 30k but then really struggled through Oakly Dam and lost a fair bit of time. By the 35k aid station I knew I was in trouble but was hoping I could still hold on for a sub 4hr. Didn't happen, lost 5 minutes on my 2008 time between 35k and 41k so basically gave up the chase. Ran out of water with 5k to go which didn't help but given the hot conditions I wasn't too dissappointed by the time. Seemed like most people struggles over the last 11k.
Looking forward to next year. After seeing the splits this year I reckon I have a sub 3:50 in me on a good day.
97k for the week

Good run Nathan! I think fluids was very important this year, and most of us who ran without hydration packs struggled to get enough. Well done.
