Bazoaxe Apr 2018 5:35pm, 21 Apr 2018 12,937 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe I reckon I will be there at 08:30 latest. But I am renowned for being early. However I would rather be there. Tomorrow I am on blue start for first time and do have new surroundings to get used to as well.

They do give you coffee, tea and water in the enclosures but make sure you take a plastic bag or something to sit on when you get there in case the ground is still wet. You don't want to be on your feet for an hour more than you need to before the race.
