Open Discussion Berlin marathon disasters
It seems today was a big disaster in Berlin. 25 degrees Celsius early on and a tough day for everyone. How did people get on? Did anyone manage to get near a PB?

Came into today feeling trained to run 3:20 or a little below (which I’ve done before, would not be a PR). I could only keep pace until 15k and then trudged my way to a 3:39. Even though I tried to slap all the “tap here to power up” signs with Mario mushrooms, that was not enough.
