At the risk of being treated to one of Alan moderate and well reasoned responses...

Wasn't the Liverpool Marathon put out to tender, probably under the EU rules for tendering?  If so as someone who has managed contracts and tenders I'm sure I'd be checking the public disclosure elements before continuning a debate in a public forum.  If not for this tender, then for others... Google is used by many to check things out.

And genuinely that's trying to be helpful - I don't do RunLiverpool/BTR events following experiences similar to Gladys (though via electronic comms rather than phone).

ps As an observation the Three Graces are better viewed from the opposite bank - you see their glory and composition...

Hi,

Dan - it really didn't feel like a 1st time event, well done to you and your team!

I walked it, I'm slowly working up to fell running, and it was a good day in the hills... A very good day in the hills!

I polluted cyberspace with a blog http://walkingforheartkids.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/sword-in-stone.html

Thanks again!

Paul

Liverbird - why are you so attacking of anyone who provides any comment that is less that 100% positive? Or is something personal against me, I don't think we've ever met!

No run is perfect, I've offered my view in good faith, you seem to have decided to be the defender of the faith, and my views don't count.

I've said nothing that others haven't said here or on Facebook, I may have a different aspect/view on them - and that is to be expected we all ran different runs, because we're all different.

I've run in RL events for about 4/5 years, and promoted them to friends and work mates, so you can't dismiss my views on that count, you can ignore them because they bore you - that is your right (though telling everyone that you are is an odd way of ignoring them -as by so doing you are drawing attention to them).

Why?

 

I'm guessing this is directed at me, as I just posted randomly about possibly being near you at the start   I think it was you, as the person behind me was talking to another runner about their diabetes and the timingof the start, and sorting out their blood sugar levels.

I was enquiring about your suggestion about an "r"...

Nope, not me - I wouldn't worry another runner about my problems like that, I've had people assume that I'm type I and about to go into a hypo before now and try and shepherd me around the course... which doesn't do me or them any good.  So I very rarely talk about my health conditions on the start line... I also get similar reactions when I mention my heart defect (I was born with it) so tend not to mention that either unless asked...

ps sorry - no idea why its quoting twice and it won't let me delete one...
