Have done this one for the last 3 years, but not this year. Hope you all have a good run, and that it isn't too hot. Don't enter The Greenway for the second time without about 5L of water, salt tablets, your body completely covered, and a couple of emergency flares so the air ambulance knows where to start looking for you.
Mick'n'Phil - Great, thanks. Doing a 20K offroad race instead on Sunday - not your scene, I shouldn't think!!! Too many tree roots and rocks. Although I expect full suspension chairs will be on the market soon.
Morning all - First post of the day!! I am off to buy my gels today and my sports drink. Looks like it's going to be a nice day today and tomorrow. Looking forward to it. See you all there nice and early. Mick what will the traffic blocks look like tomorrow? Will there be after effects from todays Shakespeare birthday bash? lol Diversions etc?
Drinks Stations are at approximately 2 mile intervals with most of them having sponge stations. Water only, in 330 ml bottles, will be available at these points and at the finish. Bottles will be handed to runners. At certain Drinks Stations cups of water may be handed out to supplement the bottled water. Isotonic drinks will be available for Full Marathon runners at Drink Station 7 which is at 19 miles. Under UK Athletic rules runners may not carry or take drinks other than those provided by the Promoter.
Been away for a few days and there's an awful lot of catching up to do.
Good luck everyone. Hope to meet some of you before the start and maybe even after for a beer or two. My number is 2297 and I'll have a little green ribbon on my red vest!

Lurker - be great to see you there as well!
Btw - we will beat the Greenway!
Never worn sunglasses or a cap in a race before - think I'll need them tomorrow though... If I put suncream on my face, will it run into my eyes?
I've never had that problem before with sun cream.
I would settle on a cap though. I've found when I tip water over me it lasts longer when it can soak into a hat.
but am doing tipton 12 hour the week before
Off to get my train soon.
Good luck everyone!
