I've applied for FLM through the ballot and having psyched myself up to train for it I intend to run another marathon if I don't get in.
So - all you experienced marathoners out there - I need to find an alternative, preferably shortly before FLM but possibly shortly after. All areas of Europe considered but UK would be best.....
I'll start the ball rolling with alternative number 1:
Paris

Hamburg
Paris is the major alternative. No ballot to get in though. You will need a brief medical certificate, but checkout the thread on "events".
Connemara - March 28
Paris - April 4
Rotterdam - April 4
Turin - April 18
Hamburg - April 18
Tresco - April 18
Lochaber - April 25
Bungay Black Dog - ?(late March or early April)
Taunton - ?(early April)
Shakespeare - ?(probably late April)
Sheffield - ?(in June last year!)
Chaos - I somehow think Boston is a bit out of my league??? Other far-flung marathons without ridiculous qualifying times will be considered.....
and by the way i hear your 24hr track times were in RW this month....
I wondered if it was THE Andy Collier :-)
Considering the Rome Marathon on 28th March '04 as an option. Anyone ever done this?
Wouldn't do Sheffield in June - too hot.
There was Leeds end of April / beginning of May. Tough I am told.

Well, good luck, I hope you will be able to enter Flora London marathon but if you aren´t lucky, I´m sure you will enjoy Madrid marathon a lot if you choose it as an alternative.
