Arrived down on bexhill and knew today was going to be a big ask, I've been looking at the forecast 15mph wind straight down the sea front all week and thinking "it can't be that bad" but doing 175bpm on the first lap just to hit marathon pace I knew it would be a big ask and companies with we weather, my running said the second lap would be his last one with me, staring down the barrel of 2 laps and an a good hr of 175 I realises today was either going to end in surrender, a similar time to London or a complete explosion at some point, options 2 and 3 are not appealing to my fragile post London confidence so decided to pull the plug. Feeling about gutted now as it's my first ever dnf, but a quick bike ride and the knowledge I'm now heading to Mallorca this week with fresh rather than trashed legs is consoling me!
