Hi, is anyone out there going to NY with 2.09 events? If so, are you going to their training day this Saturday (13th) at Kingston?

Hello Mrs Jigs...have just received the joining info for Saturday and it looks like it will be a good day - especially as I am a novice to the NY marathon. I'll let you know all about it. Have you used 2.09 before?

Any ideas what to do for those of us who are strict about what we eat before races? Porridge is a must for me about two hours pre run, but this doesn't seem to be an option what with the early buses to the start. I'm not going to be eating doughnuts before I run, that's for sure!

can't you take your porridge in a thermos? and then you can eat once you are dropped by the bus?

My wife's just mentioned that funnily enough, guess it's as good a solution as I'm going to get and not a bad idea at all.
