It's a he, but there will also be a she (Racoon Queen). Make sure to introduce yourself on the day!
Great I am now considering finding some way to attach myself to both of ye.
That aside I may actually overcome my phobia and introduce myself to somebody from the Internet. Its one of those things that always plays out strangely in my head.
Me: Hi I'm WBY
Interneter: really
? I'm Oscar Wilde:rolleyes:
Me: No I mean I'm WBY off the internet- you know boards:o
Interneter:I have to go now something really important has come up that means I have to leave now 0 -

Just don't do what some people have done to me before:
Stranger off the internet: Hi, aren't you that Robinph from the interwebnet.
robinph: Yep, I sure am how did you know.
Stranger off the internet: Oh that photo of the Brazillians from Cork marathon*
robinph: Ahh, of course. So who are you then?
Stranger off the internet: < disappears off elsewhere to do their warm up before the race>

Don't worry about it. I've had loads of people come up to me at races(and during races) toy say hello.

I'm intrigued now
What was the story with the Brazilians?0 -
^^^^
Lol WB, we are actually all real people and it is cool meeting the same people over again at the different races. We're not all that weird and we sometimes even go to the pub for pints and to discuss things other than running :eek: such as football
Cool- would be great to have a get to know my fellow athletes
After a dodgy enough 18km this morning (my longest run to date) I'm more confident of being able to complete the distance- next all I have to do will be keep up with the balloon!0 -

The pacers will do the whole distance, not like the championship pacers you see on telly or the big city marathons that drop out part way round. These pacers will take you all the way to the line at a steady pace, although they will probably start shouting at anyone following them to speed up towards the end and go for the faster time. If you are next to them when crossing the start line and the finish line then you should hit the time with a few seconds to spare, your aim is to beat them to the finish line.W.B.

I still can't believe it's still the top of my most viewed pics and not only that the cropped version is number 2.
Actually I can believe it, it's over a year later and Robinph is still pimping that pic, rightly so 0 -

Some advice please! I'm attempting this as my first half marathon (finally bit the bullet and signed up today). I have been steadily increasing my training over the last few months, going out 4 times a week, including one long run which has been increasing by a mile per week and up to 11 miles last week. Since we have only 2 and a bit weeks left before the race, I was thinking of running the the course (more or less) later this week and then next wk bringing my long run back to 10 miles and trailing off the last week to shorter runs of 5 or 6 miles max. Does this sound like a good idea? As my friend reminds me, I'm not looking to win any medals here, but just to finish the race in as close to 2 hrs as I can make it.
What do you think?0 -

It's not entirely necessary, but wouldn't be the worst strategy either. Most people new to the distance would run their long runs to 11 or 12 miles max, but it would at least give you that confidence boost for the day itself. But as I said, it's not necessary to cover the entire distance in training before the event. If you are going to follow this strategy, then bring your long run the following week back to 8-9 miles, so you can be sure you recover properly from the 13.1 mile training run, and most importantly, run th 13.1 it at a significantly slower pace than the pace you plan to run the actual race in.Some advice please!

I did the 2nd lap part this afternoon - it was roasting hot - though it was nice to have a tiny bit of a breeze was behind me going up the hills.Oisin11178 wrote: »Ran the full course today. Peeps wanna hope its not as hot as it was today. No problems with the course. A few narrow parts but nothing major.
My Polar HRM recorded temps between 24 and 29 degrees (measured at my wrist).
I have attached the altitude readings from my HRM. I blurred out the start and end because it is profile of my route to and from the Park.
Eastbound Chesterfield Ave is a long gradual descent, a descent that has to be made up somewhere

Do you have a Garmin Connect link? Damobrew's elevation profile is a little too crimewatch for my liking.Oisin11178 wrote: »Ran the full course today. Peeps wanna hope its not as hot as it was today. No problems with the course. A few narrow parts but nothing major. 0 -
