I replied that I’d be behind Sir Mo. He looked slightly confused and asked was I really that fast. I said no, but I know for certain I won’t be ahead of him. 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

rf_fozzy Aug 2021 3:47pm, 6 Aug 2021 15,047 posts	0 rf_fozzy Women's marathon has been brought forward to a 6am start in Sapporo (sp?), so I think that means a 10pm UK time start, which means it'll be done in time for bedtime. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same for the men's marathon tomorrow night too.
