Barry - thanks for sorting restaurant. YHM.
I know a bit late in the day for this question, and haven't read all the way back, but I'm assuming there's no pacers for this event?
Wow
This thread has really sped up in the last few days - its as if there is a marathon happening next week...heehee
The lurgy seems to be easing off, BK you said that the energy drinks are in cups, does anyone know if water is cups or bottles? For the record I use Hi Five gels and find them the most palatable, not too sweet and not thick, easy to take with little or even no water. Citrus burst is best flavaaaa!
Barry have mailed you contact info for me.
Hope it doesn't rain on Monday, I don't do rain.
Wow you go away for a moment and suddenly have lots of new phone numbers. Cheers guys.
ITB - where are you staying? I'm staying in Temple Bar so if it's not too far away from there then I don't mind picking up your number.
MHM - in 2004 water was in 250ml bottles. I'm also fairly certain I have read somewhere that water is in bottles again this year.
daz1927 - don't think there are pacers. I've not read anything on the site about them and I don't think anyone on here has mentioned them.
BK - My +2 have confirmed for Sunday meal (Tuck Shop Team & Management).
Oh how i love physio's!!!!!!!! Went to see mine this evening who (a) gave me the all clear to run & (b) diagnosed ALL my ailments and claimed that there was a single easy cure!! <just what i like to hear>
Will not go into boring technicalities but basically I run gammy and i just need to do a couple of specialist stretches to align my feet properly to stop the ankle and knee niggles - dont you just love em???????
had a rather painful massage, but feel great and raring to go now - could somebody please print off this posting and pass it to me at mile 16!!!!!!
Keeping an eye on the weather too, but i prefer to run in the rain <light drizzle of course!>
Speak tomoz xxxx
You will be running in rain - This is Ireland - We love it
155 to go !!
Night night off for one of those early nights I promised myself this week!!
Barry - excellent organising. Cheers mate.
Pink Shoes - glad you are sorted.
Mouse - don't worry about rain. Was going to say we are Welsh and used to it but it doesn't apply to you does it?!!!
NR - Nope. Though I am used to it. Ironically though, very little of my training for this was done in the wet and I did my training pretty much as prescribed from my book. I was a very lucky mouse.
Liam - easily. We'll all get even chattier and more people will post in the last few days.
Hi all
Liam3494 (the multi tasking star)
I will be arriving at the airport @11.05am Sunday. I'm not sure if you have room or the times co-inside but if pos I would be very grateful for a lift please.
B K- Ive emailed My mobile No and thanks for including me.
I will be running in dark blue shorts white vest with dark blue vertical sections under the arms, If I get time might have name printed on.
I decided that I must sort out flights and hotel today so Just a normal 8 hour day for me and flights and hotel now booked that feels much better now, I might even get an early night
.
P S- good to hear the physio gave you the all clear and you are raring to go.
DTB - I'm chancing a last outing in quite 'summery' kit and will be supplementing it with a binbag. I did this last week over here when it was quite chilly and just ran in the binbag until I warmed up.
I'll be in pirate kit me hearties!
I will be the other pirate with a few other layers and possibly gloves.
DTB, as my hotel is in temple bar I will ask Barry to collect it for me.
Barry I will email you my details.
lol I'm sure HH told me about one mara where he kept the binbag on until 36k! brrrr!
Looks like I'll be wearing the same gear as last year! (but black shorts this time, have retired the unflattering shiny grey ones)
Hope I'm as happy at mile 25 this year! (but hopefully half an hour ahead lol)
Woody - Not a problem - Email me flight details and arrival time - I'm picking up Mouse and Dark Vader on Sunday - You are more than welcome to join the crew
8000 posts before the race? We might be on 8000 posts before tomorrow at this rate.
I'll be wearing pretty much what my little pic at the side is wearing. Hopefully I'll look a little bit taller though. I think we're definitely in glove wearing territory even though I'll still be wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It's amazing how much of a difference warm hands can make.
yeah, rain is fine, but I remember one road that was windy and cold last year, when the day was otherwise perfect - was a bit of a wind tunnel, I kept trying to find large runners to hide behind!
Athenry AC Shirt for me, with Black Adidas Shorts with Orange stripes
Beautiful
That must make me a proper wussy southerner (or easterner, if there is such a term) my delimea will be fleece hat or running hat and then there will be two choices of each of those options.
