Thanks Santababy

Well the loo situation is good to know seeing as the two I queued fir at Edinburgh was appallingly nowhere near enough and no marshals or signs to advise us there were others.

I quite liked the loo tunnels at the start of edinburgh

But at mile 9, two of the loos we so full there was no room to go, if you know what I mean

Naughty half poopy people

Loo tunnels hipps!?
At back of London Road start area there was only two cubicles and one open air urinal pod.
Advised after race their were more down front where I was supposed to start but I was not to know this.
Oh well it is sunny outside today so lets enjoy some free running :-) :-) :-)

Highland Perthshire marathon was very good too. Much smaller of course but very friendly and well organised over a very scenic if tough course.

The long walk to the start accompanied by Pipers almost made it into an ultra but otherwise it was great :-)

I thought the loo arrangement at the bottom (excuse the pun) of the Regent Road start was very good.
Two queues 'Toilets' and 'urinals' and if a bloke was in the toilet queue you knew why ;)... then the long toilet queue was split up into lines for specific portaloos by marshalls with loud speakers.... My mistake was then getting into a line with a bloke in it. He took ages in there!! LOL

I like the look of the Strathearn event - might give that a go next year.

All gone quiet on here.

Anymore news / rumours on results publication?

Local paper has taken an interest in the story and interviewed me over the weekend.
