I dont think I'd fancy a marathon mid May though, as it could get out too hot.
Just how much of the course is the numbingly boring cat litter bit? I have four months to work on the psychological preparation!! (Either that, or buy my way into FLM!)
And Hippo, what are you ON, (that made you become silent AND white??!) :-)
i didnt mind the greenway(which i presume is what you mean by the cat litter bit)
my issue(as usual)was with the cut off
we had some great public support, people playing disco music and so on
I am Silent and White for Christmas Runner bean
(gotta be better than running round central london anyway.. yeeuck)
Second half sounds like it could be a bit mentally gruelling - can't be as bad as the boating lake section of Robin Hood can it????
soph- no worries, nice little leg stretcher.
that nasty cat litter has a habit of getting into your shoes too!
did anyone tell you about the geese?
OK, now I'm worried. Mind you, if I'm 20 odd miles into a marathon and struggling, a gander of angry geese might be just the motivation required!
Bringing back memories of the 1999 Pamplona Bull Run now....
didnt one go for you at trago mills?
Actually I'm not too bothered by geese but am a bit spooked by swans.
;-)
Shades-dont start me on swans------
Geese, reminds me of a 'basic' childhood camping holiday, where the loos were chemical ones in tents with non-working zips. I'd braved the roaming geese to get to the loo, and had just perched my backside on the wobbly approximation to a toilet, when a goose poked its head through the flapping canvas, beak open, pecking wildly...aarrgghh!!!
aaaaargh!
Best I get me garmin out now and get some miles in before the alcohol fest known as christmas kicks me in the rear....
According to the web site the limit is 3300. Last year there were 701 marathon finishers and 1638 half finishers according to the results thats 2339
I suppose that 3330 is a combination of the 2 races. I havent entered yet but will do so soon. Hopefully we can get a good training thread going here
At the moment my job is being made redundant (finishes on 31 Jan) and I'm living with my parents as my partner has a new job in Havant. We have a flat down that way and I just need to see if I can find a job down there before my job ends. If not I'll be temping.
So with that little lot I have to fit my runs round it.
Does anyone know what the t-shirts are like and roughly how much they are?
there was quite a selection last year
i bought a nice long sleeved one and a white techy t shirt
