‘The official stance from the organisers is that we do not allow changes of competitor, this is as the terms and conditions on entry state and also for medical reasons – we need to know exactly who is racing with that race number. We will not be checking ID on the day so if a different person is racing under your number it is very important that they fill out all the details (especially medical conditions and medical reasons – we need to know exactly who is racing with that race number. We will not be checking ID on the day so if a different person is racing under your number it is very important that they fill out all the details (especially medical conditions and mobile number) found on the back of the race number.’good luck everyone, hope you have your race kit ready, your gels, drinks and your trainers.
Richard, so sorry to hear about your sister, I do hope she makes a full recovery.
I'll be there in Pen 3. Sure I said 2:15 so it seems to be a bit random. Ran myself to a standstill on my last long training run a fortnight ago for 2:11.
Good luck everyone.
Good luck for Sunday everyone especially the first timers this is when the bug really bites.
I got to the end last year in state of almost collaps and the dreaded dry-heaving. I said 'I'm not made for running, I could never do it again, couldn't get any further'.
A year later, two half maras in two weeks, plus Brighton Marathon next April
Good Luck All
my first half marathon, fingers crossed!
i'll be in pen 4, cant remember what expected time i put when i signed up but i hope to break 2 hours
good luck everybody!
I Still have a spare place.

TraceyG, am being led into this... can't believe how many people (you!) do... I think if I can break a 5hr Marathon I may be encouraged to do more
I can understand if it only takes 2.-3 hrs, but I think 5's gonna drag 
Nicky, I know last year they let people defer to next year. Might be worth dropping them a line, but need to do it quickly. Also there's a Facebook Group and people are looking for places on there.
Good luck everyone have a great race on sunday
. No rain by the looks of it !!
From what I've read about the postal strike aftermath, my race pack is probably languishing in a warehouse in either Peterborough or Dartford
. Hey ho , off to the O2 for me tomorrow then.
I'm in pen (oink oink - sorry not a very llamaly noise) 3. Not sure I'm going to get hoped-for sub- 2 this time out ..... legs are quite tired from a couple of 10ks (thank you LondonPride & CanveyRotary for PBs !) and a duathlon. Big aim for this autumn's training is the St Neots HM in november (will be 13th HM) , then on to Brighton M next year
via Benfleet mud, Sussex Beacon and no doubt a few other outings.
Mr K! What the hell you doing here? Are you doing RTTB? How are you?
LL - Brighton Mara too. Marshalling at Benfleet 15 ! and not running the Marshall's run the day before
God reading all this has terrified me. It's my first half as I've only been running a year and I'm hoping to get around in three hours. Please tell me I won't be running alone behind the St John's Ambulance?!
Tracy - I have washed my Dagenham 88 vest, so I might wear it.

GoodEnough & Andreia ........
It's a big event so there will be a really wide range of finishing times. Have a look at last year's results ......

You really won't be running on your own.
Oh LondonLlama - you have made me feel lots better, thanks so much!
Andreia - we're in the same boat as whatever time I get will be my pb too!
I'm now looking forward to it again - thanks peeps.
TraceyG, look out for gmike and I'll be there
but will look out for you too.
LL
Last year's results... I'm not on there.Am sure I was there.. maybe dreamt the dry-heaving at 2:28 
(proof was in the video endings of several people's finishes as I couldn't get moving at any pace on completion).
Andreia, Facebook group shows more than enough people with nerves and worries
Was my first half last year, fiasco with bad rain (rather rain than the heat like this though), transport problems (sorted for this year though), it's a great atmosphere.... so many people all running the same race... everyone's varied in pace and speed. Your 'wall' may be at 10miles.. the race will carry you on. If I remember right the last 3 are flat.. just long 
Good Enough - others in Pen 6 on Fbook. With 14,000 people estimated.. you won't be alone
Remember, the less people around you, the nearer the back, you get better photos, and more support at the end. Take it from one that knows
TraceyG - fingers crossed you feel better by the morning
TraceyB - Agree it's a tad warm. I'm hoping for perhaps a bit of cloud until just before the end. Then it can go and we can cross the finishing line in glorious sunshine.
Postie came up trumps with my race pack after all so haven't had to trog over to the O2 today
Hope you feel better in the morning TB..
see you all there
