    Just found out I got in!

    This sh!t just got real, my period of laziness / Injury / feeling sorry myself has come to an enforced end.

    130 days to raceday...

    Is anyone else in and has anyone who has done it previously got advice on accommodation locations?

    London marathon today and normally this thread be going for months. Nothing. Says it all about what’s happened on here.

    Conditions look windy today. London could improve the elite tables. Women’s race one elite grabbed the wrong bottle. Seems like to many bottles on a table. Valencia have 1 table for each elite so none of that messing. Takes more space but that’s just cosmetic stuff. Even London could make it 2-3 bottles a table

    Things have got quieter here you're saying? Where have people moved to though? I don't know of an equivalent location with such an Irish focus.

    I don't know where people have gone but this thread 10 years ago would have 50 pages probably. Anyone remember the year Krusty and KielyUnusual ran it together and came through the field to finish in 2.35 or thereabouts?

    Well, there may not be much London chat on boards anymore, but plenty of Irish people are still doing the race and talking about it in other places, even in real life!

    I was surprised that there was no thread or discussion at all.

    It was an absolutely unbelievable experience, one that I will never forget. In particular Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Cutty Sark and then from Embankment to the finish line.

    An incredibly well organised event that was seamless from the expo to the finish line.

    I will definitely be back.

    That could be part of it but my initial comment was aimed at people who had done it previously.

    The site as it was previously is dead.
