OK Steve thanks. I won't fret yet! Just watched the Course Preview video. Have you seen it? Goosebumps for sure! It certainly undulates! A couple of sharp downhills, that might be tricky. And obviously the known few hills at Newton and then Heartbreak itself. Eeep! G
Got a lovely prompt response from BAA to say the flyer is not needed. A pack is coming out in March which together with your ID is all that is required to collect number.
Lots of risk of going out too fast in that course. So many wee downhills to drag you along! G
Yep, it’s always going to be hard and I’m glad I’ve got a few behind me before this one, which really does look like an obvious heartbreaker. I’d love to be able to soak up the Boylston finishing straight.
I’m clicking through my plan and thoroughly looking forward to it.
Good luck all. Fabulous race, unfortunately I did it in 2013 so bigger and more tragic things happened.
I’d love to go back.
You can pre book a bus tour of the route which I’d thoroughly recommend so you know exactly what you will face. We got plenty of useful tips on the tour as well. They take you round the start area etc as well.
