2010 Brighton Marathon

RE: 2010 Brighton Marathon
Yes SW, a great result particularly considering that you carried an injury for most of the race, but still a great result anyway considering all the respiratory problems that almost prevented you getting to the line. And anyway, just a great result anyway! If you were doing so well, on a restricted training programme... surely you'll be up for another attempt next year...?

Congratulations to everybody who ran the Brighton Marathon. It sounds like you all had a good day and the combination of sun, sea and great support provided a winning formula.

Congratulations from me too. With London being so ridiculously difficult to get into, sounds like there's a perfect alternative just up the road.

Great effort everyone!

RE: 2010 Brighton Marathon
Well, maybe not perfect, but at least you have the opportunity to paddle afterwards! Has anyone done the early entry to London? I sent mine in last week, it appears they are scrapping the automatic entry after 5 rejections. I'd really like to do it in 2012 in honour of my 60th - if I'm still standing.
Phew this is hard work !

RE: 2010 Brighton Marathon
Yep, done mine already too. 2012 will be my 6th attempt, so I should be assured of a place.

Failing that I'll just have to qualify for the Olympics...

That same afternoon I was on Worthing beach, and caught sight of a dog-walking guy with a finisher's medal. I congratulated him and we got chatting. He explained how hot he found it, and how he had to stop for a St John's massage after 21 miles. He had my total empathy, right up until the moment he told me he'd blown up and finished in 3:11

He did mention the run up to the power station though, and also likened it to Docklands, which Dan also mentions in his excellent report. Apparently there was a banner up around there announcing Welcome To Hell.

RE: 2010 Brighton Marathon
The organisers have already posted some proposed improvements for next year. Obviously it's a PR exercise to a certain extent, but at least they are showing they're keen to listen.

No proposal to to flatten all the city's cambers as yet though...
