April - Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon

[El Gordo]

A quick note to say safely arrived at the 'recovery venue'. There's an Irish Pub integral to the hotel. Every second hung image contains the word 'Guinness' - the bar mats are all liveried, the collection of advertising memorabilia extensive and impressive. But do they have it on draught?
Do they begorrah.

They do stock Windhoek though, which is working out nicely as a warm-weather option. Good call once again, MLCMan.

Right, off to find a shady spot to work on this race report thingy, just as soon as I've watched Roma knock MU Rowdies out of Big Cup. Humbling to think that Fergie and the boys are about to deliver so much unbridled pleasure to footie fans up and down the UK by pulling a classic Devon Lock.
Hey ho. Nice to see the R's haul themselves out of the muck, Andy - they look all but secure after a couple of decent wins. Good to see Keano and his Maccams slip past old pal Brucey into top spot, too.

Oh and a HUGE thank you to the generous souls who sponsored me.
And a big 'Ya Boo Sucks' to the corporate Jonnies who are slow off the mark.
I'll be on your cases next week fellas.

My donation will depend on the quality of your report -- I'm not that stupid.
No hang on, given your usual standard, I think I am....

Yes, great news about the Shepherds Bush boys; less so for the Rowdies in the Prem. However, I'm sure you'll have found a TV somewhere in an Irish bar showing the Big Cup game. 30 minutes in, 3-0. It's looking good.
