Food, of any description, and liquid, preferably beer. Liked Frankfurt marathon 4x hard boiled eggs and Dublin marathon Guinness and sandwiches
Disappointing things to find are water, a toothbrush, Duracell AA batteries, physiotherapy leaflets |

Well done becky.
I had a 5k test for crew selection last night. Set off too fast and was in ragged shape in last 1500. When it goes wrong in a 5k, it's a world of misery. | |

| To paraphrase the velominati, the correct number of trainers to own is N + 1, where N is the number of trainers you already own | |

I row as well as run. Earlier this year my club 2k test was the day after the London marathon. Painful. For non-rowers this (expletive-ridden) account sums how daunting a 2k is, with helpful illustrations http://somethingaboutrowing.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/2k.html | |

I favour the Paula Radcliffe breakfast of porridge, banana and honey but it sounds like you have this covered equally well.Think you're also dead right on the slow run too quick, fast run too slow syndrome so sounds like you're well set. Thoughts on the race overall? I felt that offering a marathon on top of 1/2M and 10K was probably a step too far and the longer distance had neither the numbers nor really the course to justify it. However I thought the organisers did a good job and tried very hard to put on a good event. On the second lap I had the highly bizarre experience of following an 'escort' pick up truck driving about 50m in front of me and stopping for me to catch up on the hills! it was very thoughtful but a bit pointless as a) i knew the route having run it 90mins prevously and b) it didn't help anyone else in what was a fairly spread out field by that stage | |
