It's at a different time to all the other marathons (Saturday rather than Sunday) so you will need to organise transport and accomodation accordingly. It's a very big race, lots of starters so the first few K are rather crowded, skating quickly in a big bunch is a useful skill. Pacelining is the key to a good time.

Registered. Flights are going to be booked today, most likely:
Fri 18 th BA984 LHR 16.10 outbound and
Sun 20th BA985 16.40 inbound.
So on the same flight as you  Pamela on the way back.

Am thinking of booking a 6 or 8 bed dorm at 3 Pigs. Anyone up for dorm fun?

Sol, I was looking at those flight times too, but trying to workout if Liya will be coming with me.

In order for me to improve on last year's time, I will need to prepare accordingly - so yeah, I'm up for sharing a room Smile Maybe ask Turbo T too.  I'm sure it should be relatively easy to fill.

Get your three pigs bookings in early because the dates in question are public hols/special event in Germany so not only have the rates been hiked but they are likely to be going fast (all ETAP/IBIS etc are already full)

Paula is probably coming, if so we'll have our own cosy little room Smile
( Possibly even in a different hostel if it's cheaper Sad )

If she's not coming then I'll probably be up for sharing, though I possibly/probably wont want to take it all as seriously...

She/we need to decide soon to book some cheapy flights...
