Looks like he cranked out a Frodo approved 2:43 run and is set for the Tokyo + Kona double. Solid day and that 2:43 must be a solid confidence boost (I know its Western Oz and its a fast course, but 7:46 probably still translates to an 8:0x in Kona if he can pull it all together).
All in the heat, where he can't race.
He had a 10min+ lead in that marathon, I doubt it was anywhere near all out.
From what I've seen on Social media, in his finish line interview he said his only aim was to race and not blow up and the fast time was just a bonus.
He's learnt pretty well it seems.
Looking forward to 2020.
