I bagged a Santa suit for three quid on the weekend. V classy and highly flammable. I expect to spontaneously combust somewhere around the 5k marker.

hey, dont get your trotters in a knot! don't know about you, but Jean Plod is looking forward to a wonderful weekend in sunny WSM at some past-its-use-by-date B n B and a post-race party to beat all post-race-parties! JPVD. .
Anyway, its a sunday night and I work the next day. Although, a very wise friend once said, you will always remember the night you partied, never the next day...so c'mon Mixy, lets party with JPVD!!
the party sounds like it might be worth sticking around for!!!
Just a silly question though, how do people generally carry supplies around with them, as I reckon that one drink station at around 5k isnt going to be enough to keep me going, and as it is my first race, i reckon i'll probably need some kind of energy replacement drink or bar. Where am i going to put everything!!! I've heard people talking of jelly babies too!!!
Hi Petsay You could buy a 'fist bottle' which is very easy to hold while you're running, costs around £2.50 for a medium size one from running shops/sweatshop etc. You won't need jelly babies for the 10K so long as you have a good breakfast about 2 hours before the race. If you are worried about running out of energy you could have a banana about 1/2 hour before the start too....you'll be fine...and there's a mince pie waiting for us at the end! I'll see you Sunday in my santa suit...ho ho ho

I tend to stick to mental imaging to keep me going - I imagine a full pint of lager sitting on a bar at the finish!
I'm still trying to imagine what 70 minutes is going to look like with a turkey on his head - surely you can arrested for that?!!
