Race tomorrow

[molly1973]

I’m in a Premier Inn as it’s a very early start... Hull marathon relay tomorrow: I’m third of four with 6.4 miles through the Old Town. I am nervous as I’ve struggled a bit recently and haven’t run 10k in a while: hoping the atmosphere will carry me through!

I think it’s amazing that Hull marathon offers relay options of two- and four-person teams as part of the bigger event, everyone running together. It’s really inclusive and there’s talk amongst our team of coming back next year in two teams of two... I suspect it will be an inspiring day, certainly. I’ve only done two races before, both were small and friendly events, so this will be a very new experience for me!

Impressed that one of my team-mates found limited edition Snickers... 👍

Thank you!

All the best to you. I was going to ask, how old is that Marathon bar?

[backintime Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

I read somewhere that they were doing a retro thing for a while and you can buy them with the old name for a short while. I think it was roseabi

[roseabi in reply to backintime]

Yes, Morrisons are selling them - this month only I think..

[molly1973 in reply to roseabi]

Yep: Morrison’s 👍

You’ll smash it Molly! You’re right, the atmosphere will absolutely pull you through. Just remember not to to let it make start off too quickly. I love big events for that reason. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Looking forward to your race report and of course a photo of your 🏅🏅🏅 Good luck! 👍😀🏃‍♀️

[backintime Graduate10]

Just seeing this now...if you haven't started...good luck, if you have, let us know how it goes : )

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

The atmosphere will really fire you up as will being part of a team. 👍🏻 you'll do great 😁

[roseabi]

Good luck and have fun, Molly!!!!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Good luck for your run. I like the relay idea. Go Molly!!

[Run46 Graduate10]

As it's after 12 and you said it was an early start I'm thinking you'll have done it by now...I'm loving the idea of a relay marathon (and now fancy a snickers, retro or not), hope it went wonderfully 🏃‍♀️😊👍

[molly1973]

Thank you everyone. It was a very long day: I was up before 6 but didn’t run until midday. I’ll write a separate run report but overall it wasn’t a great day. Bad organisation let us down 🙁
