My logical head said it should be that way, but I'm sure someone convinced me of otherwise, doh!

At least we'll have an excuse for dying in the arse up Embankment :D

@WW, I tried beetroot a few years back but didn't have the guts (quite literally) to do it for the race, I really should try for a low key half though next time.

How much did you eat WW! I’ll be having some later in the week but I have no idea what ‘dosage’ is required to male a difference

You can get food-grade potassium nitrate pretty easily and have as much as you want without the other side effects. I actually bought a bag of it last year (was thinking about making salt beef) but never got round to trying it.

I tried beetroot juice a few years ago. The taste was absolutely rancid and then when I saw how it came out the other end I gave up on the beetroot experiment !

JDA - if numbers for the tracker are going up ,I am 31645

Yes numbers please for London. And Milton Keynes if available :-)

I'm #43 for Bentham, but I don't think they will have any live tracking. Plus, I won't be anywhere close to 3h unless I find a shortcut :-)

What's up Daz?

Probably a bit late to get the effects of the extra nitrates from beetroot juice I'd have thought?

My number is 30905 - who else is on the yellow start?
