ah lads its a good one, as we were coming down the cobbles with around 800m to go they starting belting out the first few chords of ac/dc thunderstruck on massive speakers, the atmosphere was unreal, dare I say as good or better as Dublin, there seemed to appear 1000's of people out of nowhere shouting and roaring, Al the runners were lapping it up, normally I have the head down at this stage, but there was high five's, smiling and waving galore!

You do, Ricky!! I had a hotel about 400 metres from the finish area and had a couple of bottles of beer in the fridge, but no bottle opener! When I went through the main doors the hotel had a little display with water and sweets and so on for finishers and I asked 'em about the tool I needed. No bother says a manager and she gave me a bottle opener there and then.

Sweet end to a tough enough morning.

And, ISOP, that last stretch from 40 to the finish is pretty manic alright. I have no recall of music by the ramp though. I was concentrating on not falling.

Signed up for this year. A free number so why not. Any suggestion on places to stay?
