    Sorry for the mess, afraid to edit the posts on previous page in case of meltdown:p
    I found “boards” at a late stage, really appreciate all the fantastic information posted. Best of luck to everyone and hope I get to meet some of you.
    Still have a bit of a cough here so may have to pull out or walk.
    Have a look at Frank Grealy’s book, he is down to the left of the stage, seems like a very human and honest story.
    Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get going:) X

    They are just even pace schedules...not ideal.

    Wide awake from 5.30am :( at least I will sleep tonight!

    Few last minute questions.

    I'm staying in James St near the Guinness Store house tonight. Maps from there to the start line suggests 3km walk. Would I be alright to walk that distance as part warming up? I think I should leave around 8.15am or so to soak in atmosphere and make it to bag drop? (I'm wave 4)

    I'm going in in the morning by myself and definitely need the use of maps on my phone. Will it be safe if I wrap it up and keep it in the bag during the race? Not meeting anyone until after finish line.

    Old clothes on before hand - is there an area we can put these near starting line before going, or are these thrown to the side and getting disposed of?

    Lastminute.com :) thanks!

    I will add my bib number in the list later too.

    If I was in your shoes I'd get the Luas from James Hospital to Busaras and then stroll slowly up to the start area. There's no need for a warm-up at all.

    I'd leave anything in the bag drop. They are manned all day and there is no moving around of bags. As you say, wrap the phone up well.

    People just abandon clothing anywhere up near the start pens. Maybe just drape it over the barriers to save the backs of the volunteers who collect it all for charity.

    Best of luck tomorrow. Something tells me you won't get much sleep tonight either haha

    Thanks for that!! 2km walk from bus aras. Every little helps I suppose.

    Perfect! That's good about the bag drop being safe - I will leave it in there so.

    Great to hear the clothes go to charity.

    At least there's an extra hour sleep tonight right :D

    Yes me too though I thought they may ask me to empty it - they didn’t.

    I asked could you do that and they said not this year due to security advice

    Interesting. Well dont mind having to empty it if needs be but prefer to even put empty backpack in it too


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,020 ✭✭✭Kellygirl


    I think you could fold the backpack at the bottom and put your clothes etc on top of it and I’d guess it would be fine.

    Good to hear. It was brought in for security reasons and it would be a pointless exercise if you can just pack a bag inside the clear one.

    Literally just awake about 10mins:eek: can't believe i slept till now! Definitely must have needed it! Anyways on this Marathon eve firstly i would like to thank the mentors for taking the time to help us all. I would not have had a proper plan only for finding this thread. Mr Guppa i wish you all the best tomorrow & hope you get the day you have worked for & dreamed of :)
    Secondly i would like to thank all my fellow novices who have really helped me along this journey! I trained alone & it was brilliant to have like minded people to chat to when the family had had enough :D
    Finally & by no means the least i would like to thank all the other boardsies who have offered advice & encouragement along the way...a little comment of encouragement goes a long way :) I have read some really helpful things posted both here & on my own log so cheers ;)

    So now all we can do is wait for the start line & run the race we also have worked hard for & dreamed of :)

    Only one more sleep, a marathon to run then a well deserved drink & chats in McGrattons:D

    I'd obviously echo all that. Super job mentors, wouldn't have gotten here without you, thanks so much - you can be really proud of the job you did.
