Almería half marathon 2009

[Sweder]

I'd be happy to visit another part of the locale and the thought of a good paella really appeals; it would certainly get a thumbs up from Mrs S.

One concern is the hunger factor. By the time we'd assembled various vehicles and figured out the route to the restaurant (this year, when the journey was only a mile or two) I recall tearing revenously into a huge pile of bread as if I'd not eaten in a week. It's important to eat fairly soon after a half (especially for some of our more svelt number - I refer of course to my esteemed, whippet-like colleagues from Brighton).

Another is time spent driving/ in vehicles (passengers enjoy minibus journeys even less than the drivers). We'll have driven for three hours the day before - another 2 hours in the motors might be a bit galling. Our locally-based friends would also have to drive there and back to join in.

Last but not least I really liked the place we went this year. They seemed to accommodate a fair bunch of us with relative ease. Perhaps Antonio can guide us - is it still as good there?
