    Hi all,
    Doin DCM for the first time on Monday week, just wondering how long does it take to get into your stride. I'm hoping to do it in 4-4.15hrs.
    Roughly how long is taken up with moving past people and getting yourself sorted with the crowds etc?
    Ideally i'd like to do just under 4 but if the first few miles are gonna be 10-11minute miles cos of the crowds i don't think i'll be able to make back up the pace.


    Cheers!

    I think the first mile was the only problem last year, very slow, about a minute or two minutes per mile slower than I was aiming for but after that it was fine, crowd spread out and had space.

    Yea, the first mile was a bit hectic last year. I blieve this year's route has a different start.
