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!

I usually carry a bottle which, with water stops, lasts me about 12-15 miles. I can't drink from cups on the move, I don't think I'll ever master it.

Cavehill, really sorry but I think I will have to give the Saturday meal a miss as I have arranged to see the fireworks in CP with some other people and I don't think I'll have time to eat and get back to meet them. I am looking forward to seeing fetchies for drinks after the race though..

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on all this....I am fine with Mia Dona; I haven't been to any bad restos in NY, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Moscow - you don't want to be wearing a rucksack for the first time in the race: it'll annoy the hell out of you!

I will be working up until Tuesday afternoon so will need to try to get organised over the weekend!

One more long run left, 12 miles tomorrow :)

Everyone got there dollars yet? Seems we have missed out on the good exchange rate :(
