Well seems weird doing "only" 12 miles today, can I really still call that my long run for week?? How is everyone, raring to go?

Yeah, 12 this morning felt rather short, didn't it HT?! I think Bandstand is just before end of each lap, so perfect for 4x fueling, but not if you're a 5 x fueling person, that I am. So I will be carrying mine, with lovely helpers at bandstand as an emergency backup only. Hoping to leave maybe lucozade bottles n a gel there, but will be carrying 5 gels, for every 4-4.5 miles (30 mins) fuelling. :-)G

So you do get the official water stop and Fetchpoint quite close together I think. Not ideal for spacing out support, but the best place for supporters
