We sign up in advance online. It's an much-awaited tradition for Antonio to announce the moment that online booking becomes available -- a bit like the annual letter to
The Times, reporting the first cuckoo of spring, Not quite so romantic, perhaps.
It's always very cheap, and you get thousands of freebies in return, plus the race itself of course. You load up with the first tranche of freebies when you collect your number on the Saturday night at the stadium. The few euros you pay also includes the pre-race meal, I think, which we used to attend at the stadium. The biggest chicken legs in the world, plus various other courses. Latterly, we've chosen to carbo-load at a pasta joint near the hotel instead. Er, I'm straying off the point, so I had better stop.
