jda Mar 2020 5:36pm, 24 Mar 2020 6,837 posts	0 jda Just got email reminding me of deadline for deferral - seems a bit early to be thinking of that really, but I can't really imagine training for and racing October so I'm set for 2021 now

jda Mar 2020 6:10pm, 24 Mar 2020 6,838 posts	0 jda when is 18 weeks back from October anyway? June or something? I'm not spending my summer ploughing up and down the local roads on a marathon plan even if it's allowed.
