I drove to the Brighton Marathon leaving at 6.30am. It was foggy and really hard to see in places on the way down the motorway. We parked at the Race Course in the Park and Ride and got a bus to the start. The queues for the loos were mega and despite queuing for 20 minutes we ending up hiding in the bushes but were still late to start and had to weave through the field. It was a nice course, if a little undulating in places. The water was really cool. They were squishy pouches. I was seriously desparate for a drink at 8miles but there wasn't any water until mile 11 so I died a little bit. The medals were nice and glamourous.
Tuesday - Nightingale Lane killer hill session
Thursday - 7 miles at marathon pace
Saturday - Joint Race Director so no run for me
Sunday - Brighton Half Marathon
Total miles run: 24.2
Total marathon miles so far: 138.2
(15 miles cycled, 2 spin classes and 1 pump)
We were sent links to our finishing video - it is the funniest thing ever!! Please note that is the clock time and not my actual finish time!! http://brightonhalfmarathon2013.sportcamvideo.net/
