Is anyone planning on being reeeeeally slow, or is it just me??
I'm going for 5 hrs 45, running it all.
So look out for the bimbler at the back! If you were planning on staying until the end of the race to cheer the last people home, don't leave until you see a blonde bird in mad colourful trousers........because I expect to be last!!
Brilliant waccyracer.....now why didn't I think of that......
It gets lonely after the split for the HM. There were people around at Blackpool & Fleetwood until the HM finished......then I was on my own for 13 miles......
They call me The Wanderer I go round and round....
Bright Bimbler- you will be ok. The second lap is where the fun starts
Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing, is gonna be alright....
As you can see the excitement is mounting round these parts. I get like a young child waiting for christmas when a marathon is nearing. I will be catching my train tomorrow lunch-time as I am staying in Wolverhampton overnight.
Yes all set to go, Applied late Wednesday and just received my race pack this morning pretty good service imo. I was just 2 Min's off a pb last year I so hope I can pull it off this year.
BB if your worried about being last, find Madlot with the cuffs at the start and cuff yourself to them?
I did a marathon walking some of it, Hot Tub, & I didn't feel like I'd really done a marathon. When I did Fleetwood on Sunday I felt I'd REALLY done a marathon as I ran it all. I want to say I RAN a marathon this Sunday too! Plus I'm so slow I need to run it all or I'll be last by half an hour if I start walking!! My time running it all looks like a walkers time anyway..........
Well you lot sound a mad bunch so i thought i would ask you a mad question!!
I will be joining y'all on sunday..well for half of it....first half marathon for me.... my silly question is...i want to take an enery gel..maybe 2..i usually carry them in my pocket...but i DONT want to wear my trousers with pockets....any tricks? where can i put them? strap them? keep it clean folks...i already see what your posts are like..haha
Moyz......get a girlfriend/boyfriend to run alongside you carrying them, as your personal slave....They can also hold a brolly over you if it rains.....though it looks like it'll be dry.

Or draft off someone for the entire race, then in the last 200m put on a massive sprint and beat them.

Note to self......... :-
Don't be last.
Don't get lost.
Get a PB.
Do not walk a single step.
Finish before it goes dark.
Ignore chavs shouting "love your pyjamas". (My pants are a little, er, lively in colour....)
Trip Woody up when he laps me....
Good luck everyone.
