Today I met the wall

Probably not fully recovered from last weeks attempt I set out for a long one this morning. I had originally planned that it should only be 18 km but on the way down the stairs I decided this was the last chance to go for another 30 km before may 24th.
About one third into the distance I began feeling the soreness in my thighs that I had experienced last saturday – only when I was 23 km out ;-)
I managed to keep a steady pace around 6 min/km until 26.75 km when I was unable to continue to run. I walked for a bit and tried getting up again but never succeeded for more than a few hundred meters at a time. Finished in 3:17:37 with an average of 6:35 min/km which is slower than I had hoped for but considering the circumstances OK.
Weighing in at 77,2 Kg just after running and a glass of water.
