Phoebas

Anyone know if they have urinals around the start or is it just portaloos for all?

Phoebas

... oh, and, anyone from this parish pacing 3:40?

Will be heading to the airport after a pint or two also. Think my shower will just consist of use of a few wet wipes stolen from the kids nappy bag and a can of deodorant.

I was thinking of plodding around but still aiming to hit 4 hours - is it possible or would it be too tough in peoples opinion. The furthest I have ever ran was 18 miles about 2 years ago.

Go for it, it would be a shame to waste the entry. You might not get below 4 so what just enjoy yourself.

Any extra early public transport into the city on Sunday?

Jeez a few people in the sub 3:20 target group, possibly following the pacers. No pressure then, no chips or burgers for me this evening

Good luck to you all, please do introduce yourself on Sunday morning. Except you Murph, I already know you!

But what if I introduce myself to the wrong pacer? The embarrassment!

Red Bull and chocolate, we're not missing out on much

A slippery slope - next we (the boys) will be told to pee in doorways while the ladies use the fancy jax - wait, don't we do that already!?

We'll get our revenge on Sunday when they have to give up the fancy jax and settle for a portaloo!
In fairness I can see how some people may see it as an issue, my own opinion it doesn't bother me (maybe they should have hit up Gillette or a similar company for something).

The red bull would be wasted on me anyway so probably just as well.

I'm just hoping to run at this stage as baby due last week and still no sign of them.

Exactly 10 years ago I suggested she should check into Holles Street should the baby inconveniently arrive on marathon day morning and I'd just jog an extra half mile after the finish and join her for the rest of the proceedings, no need to thank me.

For some inexplicable reason she said no! :eek:

But congratulations all the same!

Anyone having trouble downloading confirmation?

Took a while on my phone. I have the printout with me anyway.

That was selfish of her. I'd like to see them train for 9 months.

Maybe you aren't......but I'd like some of that if it's going. Would be nice around 3 this afternoon.....yum yum.....but not so for the lads.


Anyway, do we need the printout confirmation today or will a screengrab on the phone work?

Printed out as it needs to be signed

Explosive_Cornflake

Is their a dart coming in from the southside before the 9?
I see Irish rail have one listed as arriving in pearse at 0732, I assume this is what most people will be getting that are coming in from that direction.

robinph

Since when has chocolate been a gender specific item to put in a marathon goodie bag? Always should have chocolate.

RayCun

Best of luck to everyone on Sunday!

there is a dart listed on the marathon site.

No darts from my (north)side due to works at all at all on Sunday

wookiesleep

A less comfortable Journey down to Dublin by the looks of it if your plan was to come down by train.
Weekend travel disruption for rail passengers

Very strange and stupid decision to give two separate bags out.
