Great to be back.

Barbie, I've run Beachy twice now. Really struggled over the Seven Sisters last year as my calves were cramping up. Loved the last 3/4 mile after the long drag over Beachy Head.

Hi all,

Thought I'd say hi since i've signed up for Brighton again. Was going to give it a miss and do London assuming I'd get a GFA entry, however my 3:06 is no good now they've changed the quaifying time to 3:05!

Anyway, I absolutely love the Brighton Marathon so I'm quite excited about doing it again and will be aiming for sub-3, and hopefully achieving it this time!

Re Tonbridge Half, it's a great half. Quite challenging but that makes it better in my opinion. Just hope they sort the distance out this year since it was well out last year (see reviews). I'll probably do it this year. I've also entered Dartford Half (July) and Beachy Head (October).

Lombster - as predicted, I missed #themerge. How was it? Any sign of the red mob coming down Preston Drove when you got to the park? 
 
Not overly eventful. I was probably in the middle of the 'elites' and there must have been the same number of reds ahead of me at #themerge.

Was glad to get off to a good start from Withdeam Park but there was absoultely no atmosphere at that start. Really surreal for a marathon.

DJ8,

 

On Sunday I somehow ran 2:58:58.

 

I am still in shock...

 Great time Neil. I did pass you a few times on the out and back bits (obviously you were coming back as I was still going out!). I did shout out as I remembered your number (plus you had 'Neil' on your top which helped!).

Hey lombster, I followed you for first 10 miles (well miles 1-9)
You had lombster written on you back and a massive wig.
Well done you beat me by 6 mins!!! Damn

 Cheers Paul. The wig did come off after 7/8 miles as was getting way too hot!

Anymore?

 Count me in. I was going to give it a miss this year but seems as my Mum has already entered I may as well too.

Extremely saddened by the passing of Sam and the events in Boston. Really put a downer on what should be such a positive event.

Lick my Balls is all I can think of but that doesn't make much sense.

I did a quick google and that was the best I could come up with!
