Almería half marathon. 29th January 2006
Thanks very much for posting the picture of the floodlit stadium. It put me right there with you.

On further reflection about the results from our outside broadcast team, though, I think some additional clarification and certainly a greater sense of humility is called for, on two very salient points.


1. Almeria is a troublesomely hilly course. Twice up the Rambla is worth two minutes each time, and once up to the stadium at least a further minute. By my reckoning, you need to subtract around 5 minutes from a time at Almeria to give a fair equivalence to a flat course.

2. Sweder can handle the black stuff most effectively, whereas I've always preserved my distinctly amateur status in that particular arena.


That leaves me definitively outclassed on both fronts, then, so I'll go quietly. Have a great evening !
