Oh and the pens have changed for the start which is exceedingly sucky - pen 1 is now: 3:15-4 hours Grrrr wish I had put in for the "elite" (sub 3:15) start now

Curly45 Mar 2013 9:39am, 12 Mar 2013 1,641 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 Its just annoying because the start is quite congested and I do not want to go off too fast in order to get at the front of people who will be finishing up to 45 mins behind me. Last year they had 30 minute bands I think which works a lot better...ho hum. Something for me to worry about on race day

DeeGee Mar 2013 10:17am, 12 Mar 2013 13,910 posts	Quote Pin DeeGee When they rejected my sub 3:15 bid, they promised me that I'd be alocated the front pen. Of course, this means that, unless I get there early, I'll have folk running up to 2 mins a mile slower than me starting in front of me. Given my predeliction to starting like a rocket and blowing up in spectacular fashion, this may or may not be a good thing.
