Straight down the navan road, old Cabra road, hanlons corner, manor street... I would be passing hanlons at around nine, cause they do close the road there, but probably not till 9:30 or so...

Had an early run myself this morning, and I have to say the wind, although very tough in places, was behind me for about 60% of the run

dart services are disrupted for the next couple of weeks.
if your planning on getting the dart to the expo or marathon on monday
might be worth checking to see if your affected:
http://www.irishrail.ie/news_centre/travel_alerts.asp?action=view&news_id=1226

Weather will be perfect, dry at the start, very mild. Nice shower to cool us down about 12 o'clock. Pleasant breeze behind us the last 6 miles.
You heard it here first.

Was running in the Phoenix Park this morning - strangely quiet! The wind was bad in the exposed places but for the most part it wasn't really that noticeable. The main thing that I was surprised with was how warm it is - it really is very mild out there. Anyhoo, good luck to all tomorrow, am looking forward to the race reports!

Add the number 4 route to the list which seems to go every 30 minutes and goes right past it.

well... if it stops for you (both 4 & 7), as they were completely packed today - looks like despite DART problems and extra people for expo dublin bus didn't think about providing extra buses...

BTW, what time does the race actually start?
"Start & Finish Areas" map (the small one) says: 10, 10:10, 10:20. All the time before it was said: 9:50, 9:55, 10 (as the big map at the end of programme also says)

First wave starts at 9:50, then 9:55, and last wave at 10

could anybody offer any advice on what to have for breakfast the morning of the marathon?

i looked into it a bit and there it seems a bit conflicting...

What do you eat on the morning and have found that it works for you??

I will carbo load the day before and have planned two pasta meals for tommoro so i have that much covered.

Personally I wouldn't change anything from my normal breakfast routine I used on my long run training. I would strongly suggest not trying anything new or different, go with what you know works as you really don't want cramps or bathroom breaks during your run.

Mine will simply consist of my normal breakfast. Porridge with banana, a toasted bagel, a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea.
