Yo Am thinking I might do this next year for an particular reason than I can. It's only money, plus never been to USA or Germany. From what I can see the tricky bit is Boston/VLM,. first they are 6 days apart (Man Up) second is getting places. think have a decent shot at VLM through multi ballots. Boston I need 3:20:59 to qualify. PB is 3:22 and if I don't crack that next month I might be Mr Grumpy for quite some time. Now any other tips/ traps/ things to think about from those that has gone and done it? |

Take the coward's route of starting it with London through to Boston. So a year but not a calendar year  That way you can start when you get a London place and will have the BQ from Abingdon in waiting.

A nice 7 hour flight to make sure the legs truly stiffen up.
