Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Cologne is nice and easy to get to by Eurostar as well, so that'll make a nice exciting weekend.

Bit of a cock up at the Malaga Marathon. It's an odd set of results where the difference between 3rd and 4th is 22 minutes. This unfortunately was because 27 runners (including the first and second females) took a bit of a shortcut and were disqualified. The first four at the time seem to have gone the correct way (you can see in the splits), then the next runners went straight on where they should have turned just before halfway and cut out about a km.

Organisers state that it is the runners fault as they should know the route in detail. Running round map in hand as well, assumably.

Yeah, yeah, I should read all 254 messages but...

anyone coming to Pisa? CrookedSmile was signed up last I heard; Medalslut is injured. I'll be there with my brother-in-law (and a huge entourage of relatives) but we are just doing the half.

Not going but have done Pisa. Quite a nice flat course. Was about 10 degrees and most Italians wearing tights, hats, gloves :-)

Decided on Warsaw. Set the ball in motion. Now need to hope that the date they've published on on an article on their website is actually when it will be.
