Me excited too, this'll be my 5th year involved with the race. Marshalled 2008, raced it 09 & 10, swept it last year and this year doing support crew. The phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" springs to mind :)

I've got my mum and dad supporting me this year....they've never crewed and haven't seen me run anything longer than the London Marathon.....but they seem very excited :)

I haven't told them how hard supporting is *looks around to make sure they are not listening* ;)

It is tough supporting/marshalling but very very rewarding and generally extremely sociable :) A bit like running the things (or so I'm told).

I have marshalled - it was fun...
I could not run it. Ever. Physically.
I could not support on it. Emotionally.

SB I think my mum will probably just tell me to put some blusher on my face and brush my hair :)

Mum and dad were keen to go up so Drew will be up supporting Els which works really well as I can have matilda moments with all of them :)
