Thank you all for the messages of support & encouragement after my terrible R2 this week, just back from R3 feeling GREAT! Can't pretend it was easy but really found the rhythm - even managed a bit extra in the last minute (but not the whole minute!)
With hindsight I think I was so up for R2 that I tried to set off too fast and paid the price, very conscious of needing to keep it steady from the start today and it did the trick.
Thanks again.
Onto W8 - can't believe it!
