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

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. Iām sure Iāll 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.

Is this another wave start job?
I canāt support today 
Wifeās hair appointment cancelled, so moving furniture and painting skirting boards instead 
Could ask for better weather for marathon running 
Yes, eliteās then 3 waves with 3 starts in each I think, about 5 minutes between.
Thereās a half on as well, that might have started though?
