I think that’s what I’ll aim for. Should be pretty easy to work to given pace should be exactly 5min/km (OK 4:59min/km), and I gather London has both mile and KM markers, so every 6K/30mins from 12K/1 hour.

As well as the fine gentlemen on here running it I am also keeping an eye out for the legend that is James Cracknell. He did 2:43 couple of years back. Recently did a 1:24 half with a hangover so wondering what he has got this time.

Has anyone had to prove your Id?
Just realise I don’t have my drivers licence with me. It doesn’t mention it in the event guide though
I did
Yeah one every 30 mins. I’m taking 6 with me, just in case 
3 stuffed down each wrist band. There are 2 gel stations on the course, although there’s some sports drink at a few other stations. Using SIS - just what I’ve been training with/ available.

Depending on how I feel/recover/don’t keel over before the finish - is anyone scheduled for Manchester next weekend as well?
Gonna be furious if they turn me away
Do you not just need the QI code thing on phone? Download the app
I had that at Brighton actually, bit of a surprise. And I don’t carry ID or cards. She asked me to show her my Facebook page!

That’s all I can see.
Come to think of it at any triathlon you always have to show id - that might be for insurance / race licence purposes though
I’d really like to avoid having to go in today, tomorrow and Sunday

But you live in London, what’s the problem.

I think we’re all in agreement that big city marathons are just a total fucking faff.
Strathearn - park on a field. Pitch a tent. Wake up next day and walk 20 metres to registration. Start line’s 5 meters further

You’ve obviously never tried commuting from East Molesey to the Excel Center - that’s got to be a 3 hour round trip on a good day

Adam doesn’t really live in London. He’s barely inside the M25

London’s more a country than a city. Glasgow’s a hamlet by comparison
