I booked for Sydney marathon in January this year, then I did a nice flat half marathon in Melbourne in 1 hour and 53 min so i thought I can do this one in around 3 hours and 45 min, I expected Sydney marathon to have more hills but it turned out to be a hot and humid day too, 40 people collapsed, 26 were taken to hospital some in serious condition, so I am grateful that I finished in almost 4 hours and 40 min.
