Thanks all! It was a ridiculously competitive age group, I wasn't even top 20! Frankfurt seems to attract a lot of good club runners.
@juanito - My right foot's also flared up so may be skipping the next Surrey League but hopefully the mojo returns with healing!
Nice one!
Frankfurt Marathon today: 2:42:49. Was on for 2:36/7 at halfway but it was bloody windy, and a few km after MsPub caught me at 30k - before finishing first woman off the mass start in 2:39 and seconds outside her pb - my dodgy hamstring started playing up. A gradual slowing turned into a hobble for the final mile. Not great, but when I crossed the line I immediately reflected that I'd run 2 mins quicker than Paris 10 years earlier. Privileged to be able to manage such times as a 46yo geezer. :)
