Hi my time was 1:23:59, which is only 7 mins slower than race time or less!!!
I just finished 11.25 miles on the treadmill - in total i was at the gym for 3 hrs including stretching... 2.45 hrs for the run inc toilet break,, things flying off the back of the treadmill and pulling out the emergency stop button stoppage time and also the tread will only let us do an hour... and 2:30:25 actual running time...
Which makes this by far my fastest long distance on the treadmill - it really helped that the first half was broken up by a virtual race and really, Really taught me to carry a pen and paper for runs like this...
Had 2 sports drinks - some jelly belly after, and 2x 500ml water... and then a cookie (chocolate COATED but nm)
I had a hard time working out how much liquid and kcal i would need for the new distance and expected it to take longer actually - but was quite happy to alternate sports drink and water
when i do the same outdoors next week, i will fill my camelbak with watered down sports drink.... does anyone have any advice? i have never watered down a sports drink before...??

Great job on your 11.25 miles on the treadmill!! Considering you spent three hours in the gym, I would drink the sports drink without watering it down. Most races have sports drinks that are not watered down, hence to become more accustomed to race conditions don't water down your sports drink.
Great job on the workout-that's a long treadmill run~I agree with Bruce, just drink the sports drink straight..
