Isle of Wight Marathon

Flipper

Well done Shades - Fantastic time!

SHADES

Dunnarunner - After the race Ewan did say that once he's done the Discovery he will be going back to shorter races, he is young and should do shorter for now with the occasional marathon perhaps.

Thanks hilly, Flipper & Pammie. Your kind words make up for the fact that there were no other forumites at the race!

You had to run up George street Shades!!?? That is a hill and a half...well done indeed, I'll give you another round of applause for that!

I know the place you mean now..will be back on the island in the summer I think. There's a half marathon over there in August which I'm thinking of entering, only a fiver too, absolute bargain!

SHADES

George Street was the first of one of the many hills, but it is tough especially so early in the race.

The marathon was only £6, brilliant really, and this year we got coloured IOW shaped medals.

IOW shaped medals - that's brilliant, I love it, wonder if they'll do that for the half? I'll be doing this next year then if I don't get into FLM!

SHADES

I expect you'll get the same medals for the half, especially if the half is organised by the same club as the marathon.(Ryde Harriers)

Yep it is...right that's it, am going to go and print the form off now!
