    I'm thinking of applying too before the cut-off tomorrow. What's the course profile like compared to Dublin? Fast and flat? Might it be still a wee bit warm in mid September ?

    Certainly flatter than Dublin. In fact no pulls at all. Bigger crowds obviously but not as loud. Weather last year was misty but humid.

    There's a reason why every marathon world record is being set in Berlin these days.

    I'm not planning on taking on the elites just yet. Just wanted some advice from someone who had some experience running it but thanks all the same....

    You wouldn't like the numbers doing Berlin, man. You'd hit two people with your arms spread to the horzon gesture crossing the line. ;) What you want is a nice small to medium marathon around the same time. There are loads.

    FYI for those using Gmail, last year, Gmail defaulted my reply to junk as the email is in German and English, and it does look a bit like a spammy email. So, go check your junk folder today too. Best of luck!

    I saw 3 Irish chaps win early entry yesterday in Facebook in fairness, so it's not all bad! They were offering a few, country by country.

    Lottery.

    I applied on the opening of the window within a few seconds but doubt that has a bearing on anything
