Katie and I are planning to be a mini-Fetchpoint, complete with Fetch flags and as many jelly babies as we can decently afford. Is there (1) an existing plan to set up a support station, or (2) a particularly good point on the course, and (3) would anyone care to join us?

I've never been in a race with a Fetchpoint before, is there a special wave that we have to do as we run past?

Awesome news fetch  Schneke mentioned at VLM that she might come out to support MK, she might join a mini-fetchpoint.
A jazz-hands wave is the norm I think Chris

The easiest point for spectators (views and parking) is when the runners go up and down the Central Milton Keynes boulevards (Avebury, Midsummer & Silbury). For both half and full marathon runners, I think these are about miles 4-6 or 7.
The start should be OKish, providing that everyone sticks to their allocated pen. After all, it is a dual carriageway, not a country lane.
City Runner - I really, really appreciate the offer of company. Truly. However, last night, I decided on a high-risk strategy of running sub-1.50 through half-way, which probably won't be your approach to our joint sub-4 target.

Well woke up this morning with a little cold. It had better be a quick one!
Looks like the weather people are hedging their bets for Monday. In the last 4 days the forecast has said:
Heavy rain
Light Rain
Cloudy
Sunny
and is now showing sunny intervals.

The forecasts have been showing the predicted wind gradually getting lower, which is good.
Is there any kind of pub plan?

My lovely lady wife banned me from running after Wednesday lunch-time. It is now Friday lunch-time and I'm crawling up the walls lol.
The weather for race-day looks half-way decent. I've no physical problems worth speaking of. So, the only battle is in my mind. Getting myself to truly believe that I can run sub-4 for the first time.

Tim, why are you planning to run sub 1.50 for the first half? If your aim is sub 4 that sounds like a massive positive split.

Sh*t or bust suicide pace to allow for a blow up in the second half?
