Beachy Head Marathon
Hi Sweder,
Yes, certainly an excellent day for it!
Bit slippery in the woods in a couple of places but otherwise the ground fine.

Plenty of support from people in villages and at drinks stations which was really encouraging with lots of cheering, smiling and clapping.
Even people turning out of pubs (it seemed) to cheer on!

And... the wind along the Seven Sisters was just perfect- so good to be carried up those little blighter hillocksSmile and even the last slog-section up by Beachy Head itself didn't seem too arduous.

Coming over the brow of the hill down into Eastbourne was fandabbydozey with that tailwind.

The pre-race pasta slap-up, snacks during the night (since couldn't sleep and got less than 1 hour), Jaffa cake / gel / sporty-drink overdose, worked a treat for me, feeling good to the end and knocked 3 mins of last year's time, leaving me in a post-race euphoria.
All good fun!

And LR?
How was it?
Wanted to hook up at end but had to dash as friend waiting on double yellowsSad.
Apols for not being there to support teammates.
