Subject: RE: Royal Victoria Marathon - Half MarathonIt's 4:40 am now, only 3 hours to go now. I just finished eating my last meal before the race, some banana loaf and a cinnamon bun. I came down to the hotel lobby to try to get into the gym, which doesn't open until 6:30 AM. They have some free internet access computers right beside the entrance of the gym... no doubt to try and tempt people away from the gym. My friends are sleeping in the room, so I'm stuck down here for another hour.
Yesterday my friends and I went to the expo to pickup our bib #s and listen to Simon Whitfield. He was great, although he did seem a little anguished about not ever have been asked to do a show with George Stroumboulopoulos. So George, if you're reading this, please give Simon a spot on your show.
Today's race temperature predicition is 7 degrees Celsius, up a degree from yesterday's predicition. Of all the factors, the temperature will probably be the hardest to deal with.
There are quite a few runners staying at this hotel (Harbour Towers ), but so far this morning I haven't seen any. It's 5 AM now... probably a bunch of alarm clocks just went off. Well, I'm off do go do something else... |
