Wouldn't have that...would lose a ridiculous amount of time, priorities !

How's taper week for No1...going this weekend too if I remember right?

Going grand BM, it's been my most enjoyable week of running in over 3 months. I could get used to tapering and carb loading! The nerves are starting to kick in a bit but hopefully they'll disappear when the gun goes.

More importantly, have you found a pub close to the Olympic Stadium where we can watch the rugby?

ha, good stuff! Weather looks decent, 10 degrees and overcast with hardly any breeze....can't ask for much more than that.
Ya. I've found O'Donnells Irish pub near the Heineken experience museum....staying in a hotel that end of town so will probably hobble/taxi back to hotel and straight to pub for the match...probably will miss a bit of it but what can you do.

Best if luck to BM and No1 in Amsterdam this weekend.

Hope the PBS are hit and I know BMs is no soft target.

If nothing else I'm sure the boys with enjoy the post race sights and hospitality

Good luck lads. Looking forward to the race reports!
Enjoy the 'nightlife' afterwards

No1 · October 17, 2015, 07:56:49 PM

Cheers fellas. Grub into me, one pint to watch the rugby and off to bed. Imagine sitting in on a Saturday night in Amsterdam! Hope tomorrow is worth it! 🙈

magpie seanie · October 18, 2015, 08:45:08 AM

Good luck today lads.

laoislad · October 18, 2015, 11:19:43 AM

Anyone tracking the two lads?

laoislad · October 18, 2015, 12:56:37 PM

10 minute PB for ballinaman! Fair play!

No1 · October 18, 2015, 02:32:37 PM

3:31 odds for me. Absolutely delighted but that is my first and last marathon, never felt pain like that in my life, brutal stuff! Back to half maras and 10ks for me! What was BM's time?
