Hello all. Apologies for the lack of correspondence - I have been without the internet (damn you stupid idiotic BT) and back up finally....for now!
Anyhow when I get five mins I'll catch up on the forum and read what people have been talking about but thought i'd say hello - hope everyone's Berlin training is going well !!!
Emmy - damn you!!!!!! You have performed Inception upon my poor soul - there is nothing more contagious than an idea and the idea that has now formed within the vaults of my mind.......Amsterdam! Damn you !!!
I have to say I was checking this whilst ar work and when you said here's my rack I started to panic....
Ah right - I didn't think about a coach - obviously that takes longer but if it makes it easier to budget...hmmm....I had a quick look at flights and they're around £100 which is ok however with Edinburgh, Berlin and the Cheltenham half (very exotic I know) - may find it hard to justify. Still coach could be an option. I shall check it out.
I would love to get sub 4:30 in Berlin but I will stay in the realms of realism for me as need to see how the archilles reacts to the training (but hey even if it's dodgy - I know I can get thru)
See a lot of people say that about Edinburgh - that it's a fast course, but still didn't beat my Dublin time. But Amsterdam - now you have me tempted. How much are flights, entry and accom generally? (yes, I am trying to justify another trip after Berlin) aNd you know what the most important thing is for me - do you get a medal? May sound silly but a medal is a must for me (nothing quite like looking at them lined up along my bookcase)
Emmy - sounds like we clock similar times. Don't know about you but my Edinburgh time felt speedy enough on my aching limbs and ankle
