Naomi P Jun 2009 9:50am, 2 Jun 2009 1,869 posts	Quote Pin Naomi P Ah, Edinburgh had a few issues but I thought it was a great race. It was unseasonably warm which is probably one of the reasons why they ran out of water but otherwise it wasn't that badly organised. Lovely route down by the coast, very friendly, fast and flat course. And I got a 3'47 which was a nice bonus How did you get on with the dehydrated diet?

I actually felt pretty good for the first 16 miles, but then felt dodgy so slowed a lot and did some walking. 4:23:14 for me, which isn't too bad I suppose. I got lots of new freckles too. Where are you anyway Contro? I can't remember when you said you'd be leaving the UK. What's on Saturday then naomi?

controversial Jun 2009 10:22am, 2 Jun 2009 6,826 posts	Quote Pin controversial Dehydrated diet was very hard for the first day, but then you get used to be hungry all day long, althought you also are a bit tired all day long, but it wasn't too bad. I had 2 really lovely runs in RP on sat and sunday. I am still in london, I am flying on sunday to china, you will be able to follow my progress here: facebook.com I am on 19 marathons, so you will overtake me on sunday (although i should add 6 ultras )

Anna Finn Jun 2009 10:37am, 2 Jun 2009 854 posts	Quote Pin Anna Finn Being hungry all day long? No! Sounds horrible. I like food too much! Yep, Northants for me on Sunday. Eddie was my 50th actual marathon, but I've got 6 ultras just like Contro too.
