Ultra Kazzaaaaah!!
I remember thinking when I put my buff on at c11 miles (when I decided my ears were so cold they were likely to drop off!) that I bet I looked like a complete nit and, yep, I certainly did ;)

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who was freezing UK.

It was only my ears tbh. I was starting to get raging earache so desperate measures were needed!!

I was too hot, too cold and everything in between during that race. I was glad I wore an ear warmer headband, I get brain freeze when the wind gets up and whistles through my empty head

I get brain freeze from ice cream...

I'm quite glad really as it confirms I still have a brain!

I ended up making a makeshift earplug from tissue to combat wind-induced earache! And my hands swelled up slightly, not sure what that was all about.

Had forgotten about the swollen fingers. I usually only get it on a hot marathon, never on a day like Saturday before

My hands ALWAYS swell after a race or long run.

I got that with my ear too and nostril :(

I'm not going to look, because I had a skew-wiffy buff on all the way round. And had to lift up my windshirt to show my number, which someone told me looked well dodgy :)
