Goody bag

[redkelly]

This was the contents of my Westminster Mile goody bag, my first one! I only got a wrapped cake at the Race for Life last year. Good contents but why the hell is there a mini toothpaste and noodles!!!! But I'm not complaining

An odd assortment, don't you think? In my other races I've had plenty of health products and sports drinks and the like, but toothpaste and curry flavoured noodles?

Weird....

We'll weird, my 'new' buddy was drinking the banana milk and thought it was off, until we saw it was made with coconut milk, accounting for the strange taste!

Just went to the website to get my time not the 11.20 I thought but 11.47, not too disappointed as first time and something to hopefully improve on next year!!

So Rob, the more experienced, what was your time? In the 7s or 8s no doubt

[Rob_and_his_westie Graduate in reply to redkelly]

My time? 8.25 on the watch and 8.33 official. No idea why, particularly since my Garmin said I covered 1.67km - so more than a mile!

Brilliant time Rob

What every runner needs: curried noodles and toothpaste

Ha ha , we had the pack of noodles in our goodie bags at the GMR !

Oodles of noodles.

[Baileyb Graduate]

Don't care, the bling' the thing. Especially as it's my first one.

"Maggi mee, fast to cook good to eat"

If you were in Singapore in the early 80's that phrase would be as memorable as "p-p-pick up a penguin" here.

It is an odd item for a running goodie bag though.

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Yes I thought the noodles a bit odd too!!

3 mins noodles must be to give you a taste of Asia, a mini toothpaste for you to take on the plane, coconut milk..... There is a message here
