Never too soon for those forecasts, it's the ones saying there'll be a hurricane and a heatwave that you're not allowed post in advance 0 -

I'm pulling out of this due to missing too much training and now a head cold that I cannot shake. Going to target Limerick instead. If anyone knows anyone that wants to buy my non refundable prepaid accommodation PM me! Its for two people in the NH Atlanta (beside finish/start area). Going for a song 0

I see that I misinterpreted the change to the route map. I had thought we were starting on the bridge, but we're actually starting just before the Erasmus bridge climb, rather than just after it. This should be the view from the start line, with the Erasmus bridge up ahead and to the left. I wonder did they measure the course from both sides of the road on the bridge? Left hand side looks about 3m shorter.
Also, why has there been no talk of pubs?0 -

This place might be to your liking Krusty.
Cheers OOnegative. I'd saved that one on Google maps from an earlier search, but sadly it probably won't get a look in. It's almost a running joke at this point (pardon the pun), that I make an argument for a decent public establishment, and we just end up in the nearest Irish pub anyway. I feel like I still have to put up a token level of resistance, but Irish runners just like to congregate together after marathons in Irish pubs. It's like a beacon or a bat- symbol to their tired sweaty thirsty sunburnt faces.
So... Whose up for a trip to Da Kaapse?0 -

you had your chance...Starting this now, so Krusty can get in early and nominate a pub that serves decent beer
...and you turned it down...Krusty_Clown wrote: »So that everyone can ignore it and go to the Irish pub anyway. Actually, the Irish pub was pretty decent. So while there are better options, no complaints from me. 
I'll have some decent beer tucked away in my bag for afterwards, but perhaps I'll skip the 10% Westy this time around.Krusty_Clown wrote: »So... Whose up for a trip to Da Kaapse?

Nice aggressive target there for our first entry. Best of luck with it Ray. Where and when was the PB? Dublin or abroad?
PB was Dublin, back in 2014. So a couple of minutes for the easier course, a couple of minutes for the weather (which will be better), and a few minutes from... somewhere else. Maybe I'll steal Krusty's fancy shoes 0 -

Training block has gone pretty well. I've given myself every chance I think, will give it a proper rattle and see what happens 0 -
