Mr. K.
A little write up...

The Marathon medal actually inc dog-tags (slightly different to the D-Day Landings Marathon / Marathon de la Liberte which was a dog-tag shaped medal)

I was in, but I've withdrawn my application because I can't justify the cost to myself next year, having done two USA races on the trot.

I'm keeping my powder dry for Tokyo now.

I'll try to find something exciting on a short-haul again next year.

I'm gonna do Chicago whatever happens & I'm in the Berlin ballot (& quietly confident as did a team entry, which rumour has it increases your odds ?) if I don't get in Berlin I'll have a crack at Warsaw, not ro be confused with Walsall & the infamous Bescot Triangle !

UB, you’re quick and would have easily qualified.

Yes Big_G, I've got an acceptance email from the Chicago people based on my Boston 'GFA' time, so that's sorted.

Just the inevitable tussle with getting to Tokyo for #6. Probably via the charidee route.
