I gave Sean the same advise as @Sowler, he too I fear needs to lean by doing (as most of us do).

If I actually finish this race alive, it will probably be one of my greatest achievements

Where you staying?
(Roughly?)
There should be somewhere near that sells Bircher or something.
Starbucks stocks it - pretty nice, too.
Or just get a Grenada bar and some milk?
Staying in Prestwich. I’m sure I’ll find something. Half amused that I got the Mrs to make it specially and then forgot it

I stayed in that hotel owned by a bunch of the ex United players when I did it. Was super convenient as was like 2 mins away from the start and finish. They actually held a room back for people to use to shower and change after the race as well.

Just went through Manchester Piccadilly. Its a very colourful place on a Sat night when the clubs are all open. I felt old, hustled through and got in a taxi.

Did you manage to get your oats though?

It’s lively isn’t it.
Ha ha ha 
I lived just behind it for a few years…”lively” doesn’t begin to describe it. 
Nice and safe in Prestwich 
Good luck everyone. I’ll be running at the same time so can’t track. But will look forward to the race reports!

Is this another wave start job?
I can’t support today 
Wife’s hair appointment cancelled, so moving furniture and painting skirting boards instead 
Could ask for better weather for marathon running 
Yes, elite’s then 3 waves with 3 starts in each I think, about 5 minutes between.
There’s a half on as well, that might have started though?
