worked first time for me - which means Im in, maybe I was a little hasty? Is it too early to start carb loading?
Forgive me if I triple-check the dates first
Would like to return to Connemara next year too. I'd like another crack at the Ultra.
But also want to run in my 'home' marathon: perhaps 2012 to mark my 50th year. Or is it 51st? Who knows.
Ah, an ultra, that's still on my todo list. I'm hoping to get in to London for 2012 for my 60th - OMG eeek

Where does it go, the time?
That reminds me, I need to get some thoughts down re: Connemara. I'll try and get started later today.
Connemara is 10th Apriil 2011 which is the same day at 2nd Brighton Marathon.
I think that I will keep this date free in the hope that I can go to Connemara.

Perhaps I should warn you Julie, there may be the odd half of Guinness involved...
I've entered Brighton as well. SW, did you get charged the full whack straight away? I seem only to have been charged a £3 registration fee so far.
Hi MD, I'm not sure how much I have been charged because I haven't looked!!! I paid with a credit card and haven't had the bill yet. But what has really blown me away is the fact that Mr SW has entered - I only found out last night when I got back from orchestra at about 10.30, I am dumfounded, shocked but delighted, I think he must have been infected with marathon fever watching Brighton, perhaps tinged with a little guilt at having put on at least 2 stone since his last marathon outing;-) I wondered why he was so keen to come for a run with me on Sunday, the first time he has accompanied me this year. I must think about booking a hotel, we were in Worthing for this year, but I'd like to avoid the Park and Ride fiasco next year.
OK I've opened up both websites and can confirm that
Brighton Marathon 2011 and
Connemarathon 2011 are both on 10th April next year.
Clearly this ends any double dreams some of us may have nurtured.
I'm committed to a return to Ireland next year (promised Mrs H after she missed this year through injury) so won't be running or cheering in Brighton.
As in 2006 (
Paris and
Zurich) there will be a delicious synchronicity in having RCers setting off in two places at the same time.
Indeed.
And "delicious synchronicity" isn't a phrase you hear every day either.
Very annoying timing, what?
I'd pencilled in Brighton as a possible. Mind you, I still haven't confronted the possibility of another Connemara yet. Hard to make any sort of plans at the moment.

SP & Ladyrunner have both said they fancy Connemara in 2011 so looks like there will be a trip of some sort. I suppose it'd be as well to book in at the CLH sooner rather than later. I'll drop them a line. Or send them a message via carrier pidgeon.
Who knows? My effing 2010 race report might be finished by then ...
