"to state the bleeding obvious stay well hydrated. "

Keep a tab on how much you drink as you can over-hydrate too. Link below.

I've been reading up loads over the last couple of days. And your right, it is scary that you can basically drink too much water and flood your body.

Less than 12 hours to go now guys so get your donations and entries in before 7pm tonight if you want to be in with a chance of winning.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Apologies for the late entry Donation should be with you there now.

Best of luck mate, my biggest piece of advice having done a couple would be to just enjoy the day! It's such a great atmosphere. Don't get down on yourself if you have a goal time and it slips away, it's brilliant to just get around.

I will go for 5hrs 7 mins


Cheers Jeff

Mate, this really isn't going to happen to you so don't panic. Very very rare for this to happen. Just don't go drinking a couple of litres Of water at each aid station and you be fine. You will get all the electrolytes and salts you need from the sports drinks and gels you get on the route.

Mate all the best an hope you enjoy it.

 

[jedi_masters]

5 minutes to go guys. Anyone else?!? I will make a final update after 7pm.

 

[jedi_masters]

Competition closed guys.

Thanks to everyone for taking part and sponsoring. I will make a final update of who is in now.

Wish me luck.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

The very best of Luck Chris! 8)

Great comp too

 

[Jez]

If you read this before the race WTF are you doing? Get your game face on dickhead and get off of the computer!
Chris, no matter what time you finish this race, you will have made a huge difference to your utterly worthwhile charity.
Your sense of achievement will be off the scale.
Now go and treat yourself to an ice bath and then buy that POTF Jawa MOC you've had your eye on

Oh and remind the Mrs that its a long standing tradition that for all race finishers the next 2 days are designated "Steak & BJ Days" as part of the recovery process. 8)

 

[mumbo]

Hey Chris just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow/today from the brothers Duff

 

[jedi_masters]

Thanks Jez and Mumbo.

Waiting for the coach now. Nerves are starting to kick in a little but I'm pretty sure that will be replaced with excitement later.

 

[Dublinjeff]

And they're off....

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.......

I don't know what Jedi Masters real name is, but I think he's just broken the london marathon record.

Really well done if your Wilson Kipsang.

COME ON ERM CHRIS. Beat your set time.

Tragic news today with regards to a runner.
Chris is ok though.

 

[TC-14]

Ive just heard the tragic news on BBC Breakfast, Jez- absolutely dreadful for the family and friends of that poor marathon runner.

On a happier note,:fantastic time you got there, Chris- well done, mate!

 

[jedi_masters]

Ive just read that Jez, such sad news.

I thankfully and alive and kicking, if just very sore and cant move easily.

I will be sorting out prizes and draw today so keep a look out for the results.

 

[chazb73]

Well done Chris - was looking out for you

Sad to hear about the runner - unfortunately there is often one tragedy
