What time are folks planning on being around Bught Park for registration and Pasta Party on Saturday? It's 12:30 to 18:00 I think. It'd be good to meet up. Dave - make sure the sign is visible!!
Thanks for the tips on the loos and the buses, I need to make sure I'm on a bus with a loo, race nerves and that, plus stock of loo roll when we get to the park as ther is a bit of a wait until the start
Do hope the weather is ok, ruins a good day, forecast looking good from everyone who's checked, soo fingers and toes crossed!!
5 miles last night in pouring Romford rain (makes you feel well hard!), three miles tomorrow after we've arrived on sleeper train and booked into Best Western. What's on in cinema in Inverness?
I'm very grumpy with my wife (she's doing it as well so we're grumpy together). I think this is down to nerves and tapering. Snap. Bark.
Good luck everyone, have good journeys up and see you at Pasta Party and the race.
Ian & Caroline.
Hi all,
Well, just got my commiserations magazine from VLM. Oh well, better luck next time. Now I have to rework my plans for next years marathons.
My bike is all packed and ready for my long ride to Inverness.
Catch you all soon. Dave.
evening all getting nearer
did 3 easy miles today that is definately my lot,only did them as i feel guilty doing nowt
just getting ready for this marathon when i get comfomation for london marathon
been checking the weather everyday now it gives rain so lets hope it changes again
Well, this is my last post until I get home on Thursday. Looking forward to meeting you all at the pasta party and the start.
Have a safe journey and see you soon.
Dave.
Hope everyone has a good journey up..
Thanks for the info on the arrangements at the park...sounds like its all coming together! Getting quite excited now
.
Best of luck to the early arrivers/departers, hope you get the times you've worked for and most importantly enjoy the event!
Weather still looks good on metcheck, but not much I/we can do about it....probably just best to worry about the things I can affect...like remembering to pack my trainers!!
Heading up tomorrow morning. Staying at the Craigmonie on Anfield Road. Anyone else staying there?
One half of me is really looking forward to it and the other half is thinking 'what on earth were thinking about entering a marathon.'
Been 2 wks since i last ran due to the knee injury, which isn't helping with the negative thoughts and also had loads of sponsorhip coming in this wk which also adds to the pressure, as i'd hate to let folk down.
Not sure if i'll make the pasta party as the wife and kids will be in tow but i'm trying to persuade them.
Best off luck everyone.
oh will have to check out the location of the BW that I am booked into.!
Ho Hum...panicking- can't locate hotel confirmation email- but luckily I'd said which hotel I was booking on this thread, so managed to call them, and check they were expecting me.
It's the Columba, they're doing breakfast from 7am, and as far as I can remember, bus pick up is about 5 minutes run away, so should be OK.
See you all there!
I arrived in Inverness today. Weather wasn't great but the forecast at the mo. for Sat & Sun is great. It has been changing all week though.
I am staying at the Dionard B&B on Old Edinburgh Rd. and can highly reccommend it for future years. It is about 1.5 miles from the start, so probably get a taxi on Sunday morning.
It is my first marathon and I am attending the Pasta Party. What is the general advice about the best time to eat?
Good luck to everyone
don't know about you guys but I am feeling really bloated at the moment with all carbs.
Driving up tomorrow morning, planning to leave about 8 so should be there for lunch time. Will head straight for registration then make our way to the hotel, will have to time how quick I can get from hotel to the start.
Got other half and youngest coming with me so won't be making the pasta party, hoping to find somewhere nice to eat on Saturday night.
Good luck everyone
Breakfast at BW lochardill house is from 6.30 on Sunday and will be taking a taxi to the start, be around 5 mins from hotel, just hope it's dry like the forecast suggests for all of us,
Flight landing at 15:20 then straight to registration then off 2 the BW lochardill house, Hpe the weather is good. Foggy down here this am!
Dave, good to meet you yesterday and at start today. Hope your race went well.
had a total blast, 4.14, well chuffed new PB by 35mins. Just chilling in hotel room with a glass of vino.
Well done everyone.
