    Yes well I got a bit flustered when asked for a time, so I used my one and only half-marathon time from over a decade ago, doubled it and added 15 mins 'just in case' - funnily enough I'm not quite going to make that after allimage I'll change down to pink at the expo.

    Hi DV - could I get added to the list pretty please?image

    Red 5583 for me - thanks!!

    I can tell its getting closer to marathon day as starting to think every niggle is a major injury (I look like a mummy with all the KT tape I apply) and starting to consider purchases of beetroot juice...

    What are peoples thoughts on listening to ipods/mp3 players for marathons?  I have never done it before (and seen people abused for wearing them in other races) but I do wear one throughout my training. I dolike to get the buzz from a crowd on race day but didnt know if a motivational playlist may help when the going gets tough....

    Roundman - There's no problem using music in the race and I've not seen anybody get upset about others using music, but I've always been in the slowest pens, so I can't speak for other pens.

    I ran my first entirely with music and my second entirely without. I can definitively say going without was the better experience (though I had my music source at the ready should I need it).

    Engaging and interacting with the crowd was a huge boost to me and to the overall fun of the event. Having said that, though, as you're in the "Eat my dust" pen high-fiving small children as you go by may not be at the top of your list of priorities!

    Hi Roundman,  You don't have to have your music on full blast.  

    I love high fiving small children, I wonder if it is a help or a hindrance.  I feel a rush (adrenaline/increase heart rate ???), I wonder if effects performance.  I've never seen the Kenyans high fiving and their times are much faster than mine.  I would be sad if I didn't do it.

    54533 Gris for me. I will most likely try and switch to Green at the Expo and depending on the result I have at the Fleet Half I may even try and go Purple for Sub 4 or Die.

    That's an impressive runners' List, DV. Thank you.

    Of course, all the real lookers are already in the Who's Who 2014 , here  https://plus.google.com/photos/117729082344820870557/albums/5940991828462572481?banner=pwa

    but it would be nice to have some more photos..Somehow ' I'll be in shorts and wearing a number' isn't that much of a clue on the Start...

    If you'd like your photo added to the rogues' Gallery, please email me a jpeg with a note of your thread nickname, your bib number and your time goal/ any last words...Running photos are best image We need to know what yer legs look like...

    ATM - photo sent (a little muddy....)

    My last marathon I thought I would shout "C'MON!!!" repeatedly to the crowd to get a huge cheer after 13 miles.  Whilst I did get a buzz from this, I was knackered for the next mile wasting all my energy on the cheers - silly me!

    OK OK. PC and Weedy are right. My "crowd interactions" may have resulted in some unexpected life adventures. Those who know the story....well...they know it too well and I won't bore them with it again. Those who don't will just have to find out in Corcoran's. image
