Ran the 14.5 km (9 mi) route, starting with Didier at a slow jog for the first 5 km, then accelerating into the middle, throwing in a couple of strides and warming down to race pace, then slower.
Tried using one of those sugar gels which Matt and Colette recommend for the closing miles of the marathon. Don't think I'll try to take any along with me. Not only do I have to carry the packets in my hands up to 30 km, the gel's also hard to eat at race pace without suffocating.
