The SPO wanted to tag along for the expo, we brought some items for lunch, and she was looking at the Brighton T shirt whilst we had lunch. She says she'll put the T shirt and race number in her shopping bag to keep it safe...when we walk home from train station, she announces she has left tbe shopping on tbe train (with my race number). Just spent 90 mins chasing a train in the car whilst they phone ahead from station to station trying to intercept the train and get the bag before it passes through, eventually they get the guard on the train to find it and leave it at the next station.......if i make the start and finish line sunday I'll be amazed.
Anyway, a day off and a train ride to collect a t shirt, number and baggage bag. Why cant tbey give the T shirt out at the finish and put the number (inc chip) and the bag in the post ? Id even pay £5 more for that.
That's about an hour from me Joe - enjoy parkrun tomorrow. Shame the farmer's market isn't on in Bake well tomorrow but if you have time you might want to stop in at Belper - if you like coffee tell Adriano at the Azzorie coffee stall that you are a runner and Julie told you his was the best coffee.
Good luck to TR & EE in Brighton, hope it all goes well!
LMH - Is there an appeal process? Hopefully you can get something sorted soon
Joe - Was good to see you on course on Sunday! High five was much appreciated at mile 24, good boost! Although you did have me revisiting my maths when you shouted 20 mins to go at me!
As TR said: favourable temperatures Sunday but bastard Easterly. Should be fine from 5-8M as there’ll still be plenty of folks to run with but from 21M back home it’s likely to be pretty bleak.
Whatever happens I’ve raised another £800 for MIND 😀
Day off today to drive down to Brighton. Number #11122 picked up without any drama. Face stuffed. Fluids topped up. Bed calling.😴😴
Nice fundraising Jooligan, good cause.
Rest up today guys and look forward to the post race relaxation and celebration tomorrow.
9 miles on road last night hurt my foot, have to stick to tready for a bit longer.
Good luck OO, TR, EE, TGO and Jooligan.
I'm being good and continuing to work within my limits. Took yesterday off, and had an 8m bimble this afternoon ahead of a local 10km tomorrow. I reckon about 35:20-50.
See you on the other side.
Sorry to hear about your frantic dash TR; if it’s any consolation I got soaked at the event village earlier!
I’ve had my table for one in the Italian, now the Kipchoge documentary then bed.
Good luck all and catch you on the flip side.
We're in Seville for a pre-Easter break, which also gives a bit of hot weather for change. 6M this evening pre-dinner, very nice.
Jules - 11122
EE - 12066
TR - 11034
Dont worry if the progress is a bit slow in the last 5m, it'll be a combination of the fridge turning up and the headwind.
Meanwhile, I went to the baseball in Boston y'day, and the reigning champion cam and sat in the seat in front of me. Had a brief chat with her too. Very exciting!
Ridiculously metronomic, despite the fact I was running it in surges (not fit enough to hold a consistent pace at the moment) - 5:32, 33, 33, 33, 33, 28 and 5:04 for the finish. Had some great battles throughout. Great fun.
DanA - esteemed company indeed. Is she praying for wind and rain again?
Tracker seems to be playing up now... Come on chaps!!!
Always good to be ahead of where you think you are TippTop.
I'm with you sj.
Life and a ridiculously windy day caught up with me, the wind was tough from early on esp uphill early on, the last 5 was awful. But i wasnt mentally on it today. 3.04.
Loife is a rollercoaster you just have to roide it.
Onwards to Yeovil.
TR - felt for you mate following on the app. Looked up the leaders and saw them slow in the last 10k so gathered wind was a factor. Excellent post race attitude as ever and like you alluded to, more important things going on atm.
Nicely done OuchOuch. 'Enjoy' Disneyland..................
