I'm "looking forward" to submitting my Garmin or strava or Fetch evidence for 24 lots of 1.1 miles later today (after 11:09pm). I sure hope I can leave it until after midnight; preferably tomorrow. I'm in denial and haven't even looked at what they want or how to deal with so many sections. If anyone's already done it, can you put my mind at ease (and provide tips if you think I'll need them).

Try searching for “Back-up device”.

A blank email is normally that it hasn’t downloaded from email server. I turn wifi on phone off and on to help sometimes.

You can only send one file. If using strava it must be a single activity over marathon distance.

Never has an app caused me to hate it so much, as it tells me I still have half a mile to go at the end of a marathon. It may be nothing but a phone app but at that point it received my full post marathon grumpiness and general knowledge of swear words.

I didntget an email but had the app running so it has my official time, assume they only send email if you submit a time manually. Wish I'd not used the app as I ran about half a mile extra from when garmin registered 26.2 to make it up to full distance!!

16 laps done, two-thirds finished. Amazingly not falling asleep yet. I'm crossing everything that the app continues to work, it's getting a bit slow.

did you get the 14 digit code from Fridays e-mail ? I got that mesage when I tried various other codes.

The empty e-mail is the same on laptop and phone. Tried the wifi off/on and no change.

My garmin and the app were pretty much spot on all the way. I enjoyed Paula and Crammie, at least they kept it short. All done :-) Pleased that I wore my number, I got some nice support and saw a few other runners with numbers too :-)

Little miss happy you need the one in the email I received on Friday called Everything you need to know for Sunday. In the section called Back-up device is a number that looks like AB123456789012 (14 in total).​​​​​​​
