The Consequences of Running a Half Marathon

The Montblanc marathon course was adjusted during race week. It's typically a mountaintop finish and this year you guys finished in the heart of the chamois. Did that change your strategy or psychology going into the race? I generally do think the course being more of a rollercoaster it was sort of like a bit more up and down with only one big 700m climb at any one point which did suit me.
