andydude Posted April 18, 2011 Share This will be my first running race (doing the 21km) with a total of 37.5km in the legs! Can you guys and girls give some tips in terms of what time to drive through, what to take with, etc.? I heard for example that some people take a newspapers (not to read, but keep under your vest for warmth!) and maybe a black bag until the race starts, Tips like that?

I heard for example that some people take a newspapers (not to read, but keep under your vest for warmth!) and maybe a black bag until the race starts, Tips like that? if its raining consider a black bag to keep dry until the start. Take an old t-shirt or sweatshirt along, run the first few km with it on and then toss it when you're warm enough. some newspaper can be used to sit on at the start but make sure you throw it to the side otherwise you might end up tripping a fellow runner (same with a black bag).

Guest Frail4Life Posted April 19, 2011 Share Lets hope it's 7 and not 8 as the cut-off is 7 hrs...have a good run, the weather looks like it's going to play along. 7 Hours (Minus one SEC) it will be. Not to worry with the Pace as I have Pacer. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
