Only a matter of time before the 'anorak brigade' (ie those who don't have the patience and self-control to wait for an official notification) start the endless "has your cheque been cashed yet" threads.

So, I thought that I'd get in first !!!

But there again.... I've not checked.

Of course, the easy answer is don't put yourself through the FLM's torrid ballot system.

Enter Paris, Barcelona, Rome or Berlin.

Sorry, I forgot. None of those venues are as exciting as the East End of London, especially when you're surrounded by a load of t*ssers dressed as fairies and sunflowers.

Yeah, you guessed it. I love the FLM !

Mine was last year, but then I had a deferred place. This year I am in the ballot and am on the edge of my seat.

Nop, it didn't.

Pembroke 1/2 tomorrow. http://www.pembrokeshire-tri.org.uk/Dale_half_marathon.htm

It is the Swansea Bay 10k tomorrow too but since I live so close thought there would be no point in doing that as I can do it any time.

Good luck tomorrow then Cath. My 5k technique is

1. Go out too fast
2. Desperately try to hold on to the pace in the middle
3. Push as best I can in the last 1k.
