Almería half marathon 2009

[Sweder]

Cynthia has to be back teaching on the Monday so definitely separate flights for her I'm afraid. I'll add her to the hotel list for Saturday night - possible sharer GB? Or did you manage to pursuade Mr Clooney to come along?

EG/ Antonio I'd like to go back to this year's place for the post-run meal.
It was great food, slick service and they seem able to cater for a decent number of people. The place we went before with Niguel - where they served up the delicious paella - was a good deal smaller. I'd also like to go back to the Five Bulls but agree we need to sit down. It's usually after a monster session at Molly's and there's no way I can stand for any length of time after that

I'm planning to post a couple of 'guide sheets' here, one on entering the race online - an adventure in itself - and again on procedures on arrival at El Stadio on Saturday night. Of course most of us will be traveling from Murcia together and this can be reviewed on the way. First sitting is essential - I have a striong feeling the whole thing descends into chaos when people start leaving the first sitting and newcomers move in

Niguel . . . we left that hanging after our soggy jog to Blackcap. I know he's coming for the B10K so perhaps we'll get confirmation then. For now he's a 'thinking about it'. I'll drop him a line in case he's not popped in here recently.
