Brighton half marathon tomorrow

[BrianWade4]

Anyone else doing it?

I was first home in an Albion shirt last year!

A friend of mine has travelled down from uni in Nottingham to run it, raising money for WaterAid I believe.

I have a spare entry and want to do it but it has a woman's name at the top and i'm a 6 foot 4 bald male so not sure if I will get away with Jacqueline on my vest. Although it is Brighton so maybe they won't bat an eyelid.

The route includes a run past the promenade between the Lagoon and Peace Statue which is going to be impossible bearing in mind the promenade is full of pebbles and shingle.

Take a look at the picture on the Beach Hut thread and you will see what I mean.

Have just checked the BHM facebook page and after this morning's high tide there are plans in place to clear the route.

 

[StonehamPark]

I'll be there in a BHA yellow away top.

It's actually too long for me tomorrow!

Marathon 72 will be Sunday week, in New Forest, so tomorrow will be just out for an hour.

I see the clean up along the prom is this pm, after high tide & the race is on.

Good luck everyone.

Just use a black marker pen to cover in. Mine says Samantha.... Not no more!

Don't worry. Because of the female spelling of my name I got lumped in with the ladies in a marathon a few years back. Had to use their locker areas and run with a big F on my chest. I ran a reasonable time; so having to change with the fitter end of the ladies post-race was my reward.

Yes, I'm running tomorrow.

Interested to find out if it is Runners Worlds Most Improved Race of last year.

 

[StonehamPark]

What times are you lot going for?
I've been out of training for 3 months with a gammy ankle so aiming for sub 2 hours.

 

[big nuts]

1:45 or under stretch goal
sub 1:50 realistic.

Although I have the feeling I'm starting to come down with a virus/cold as shaky and shivery at the moment.

I loved it two years ago even though it was accidentally longer than a normal half marathon distance.

Cambridge Half for me this year after doing both Brighton and Cambridge within three weeks in 2012. Training has been poor and my love of biscuits and crisps hasn't helped this year.

 

[beardy gull]

Yep I'll be there.
Work to do for the organisers.

Trying to beat my 1.39 of last time. Will be in the stripes

Good luck all

It's great fun and there is superb support. You're all doing something wonderful

Pasta dinner and early to bed......

I'm running tomorrow for St Barnabas House Hospice. Will be in a greeny coloured vest and sporting a beard (of some
Sorts). Good luck everyone.

 

[chimneys]

Pebbles aside, perfect running conditions weather-wise tomorrow morning. Have a good one everybody!

 

[StonehamPark]

Well done everyone who ran today. Good to see a few runners in Albion tops out there. Last 2 miles were agony !

Really pleased with my time of 1hr 43 and 43 minutes, not ideal preparation as went to a gig in North London last night and couldn't resist a beer. Weather was perfect and the course was well prepared and organised, considering the recent weather.

I reckon the course was about 13.25 miles as my Garmin didn't find a GPS signal for the first minute or so.
