Foxy Apr 2014 4:43pm, 8 Apr 2014 30,086 posts	0 Foxy I didn't think of changing tents but indeed would be useful - i used the toilets at the restaurant I dined in post race. Unless you are a sub 3 runner what does it matter what the gun time is ? The route was rolling in places rather than hilly but that definition depends on your point of reference - compared to London, Abingdon & Amsterdam it's hilly Compared to Langdale, Sussex, Windermere & Cornish it's flat !!

lunaman Apr 2014 5:30pm, 8 Apr 2014 2,724 posts	0 lunaman Mind you I had real problems turning corners after 22 miles. Can we have a corner-y rating for races?
BigChiefRunningBore Apr 2014 5:36pm, 8 Apr 2014 20,022 posts	0 BigChiefRunningBore is 45 degrees too much?
lunaman Apr 2014 5:40pm, 8 Apr 2014 2,726 posts	0 lunaman Normally, yes. Combine it with a kerb and you've got a recipe for catastrophe! There was a kind of dog leg bit before you turned onto the prom proper from what I remember - ugh.
Mrs Winkle Apr 2014 6:38pm, 8 Apr 2014 7,552 posts	0 Mrs Winkle I hate hills but run Brighton every year, so I'd say it's not hilly! Anyway, in for number six next year...
Phil70 Apr 2014 6:45pm, 8 Apr 2014 439 posts	0 Phil70 Six for me too next year. How many years is it for when being a an ever-present in a particular race becomes unique?
JohnnyO Apr 2014 7:03pm, 8 Apr 2014 17,450 posts	0 JohnnyO Dunno, I heard them nnouncing some chap running in behind me as an 'ever-present'. Cheeky fuckers, I have been there every year and was faster than him
lunaman Apr 2014 7:13pm, 8 Apr 2014 2,727 posts	0 lunaman So that just means you haven't spent as long on the course Johnny, you lightweight
