Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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.
