FYI: The Fairmont Hotel in Chicago is lovely, well situated, and has an incredible deal from marathon Friday (but not Thursday). Nearly all of my US buddies have booked from 8-12, as have I. You need a credit card to book but can cancel without penalty until 24 hours before you turn up. If you are even thinking about…
Got back last night after the Berlin Marathon. Didn't quite go to plan and ended up with a time of 3:32, compared to a target of 3:10! Was feeling really good up to 27km (had done the half in 1:32) but then started to get stomach pains and couldn't get rid of them - felt like gas in my stomach and managed to burp it up…
Thanks L'a Rower... welcome to the NY crew *waves pom poms* I'm the thread chief (and only) cheerleader btw With that 10 mile time it looks like you're in for a marathon PB!
seriously though, debating with my miserable tightwad self wether to pay the £150 from amazon or get one off of ebay ,shipped over from america (10 days transit) for £110.
