Almeria Medio Maraton (merged threads)

[Antonio247]

Thank you to Dan, EC and MLCM for their good luck wishes. You guys missed a brilliant weekend. I will probably still be talking about our weekend this time next year when we are due to travel over for El Medio Maraton Ciudad de Almeria 2012.

Having spent 6 months learning Spanish before leaving for Almeria I really enjoyed attempting to have a spanish conversation with the locals. I met a few interesting characters for a chat. The lessons commence again tomorrow.

A big thank you to Antonio (1) and Manolo for organising our evening entertainment of lovely food, cerveza, vino tinto, guiness, and interesting very late night establishments. And also to Sweder for his brilliant driving skills (especially after sleep deprivation ) and joint co-organising of the trip.

Hola, Julie

I´m glad you enjoyed your weekend in Almería. We also had a very good time with you, Cam, Sweder and Simon. It was a pleasure to meet Marian and her friends and I also liked seeing PaulK and Heather although we were together just a few minutes.

Congratulations again on your fantastic race walking time. It was great to keep your pace for a few kilometres. I wish I could have kept it for the whole course to have done the same time as you. Wel, I´d love to be able to achieve it next year.

¡Mucha suerte en el campeonato de España de marcha en marzo, Julie! Best of luck at the Spanish championship in March!

Saludos desde Almería
