Welcome back Mark, Portsmouth Coastal Marathon

Right ok, I haven't been posting on here well since my last post. 2012 is going to be full of Triathlons and runs. First of all I will start with my last event and then over the next few weeks while im filling in my training plans and events for 2012 I will bring you up to date with other events I have done in 2011. This includes the killer Ironman Wales, by the way I never made it all the way around but thats another posting. Portsmouth Coastal Marathon

In this photo Markthedrainman Darran (Scottish) Darran (English) This was my first marathon and I only decided to do it with 8 weeks training after the great south (10miler). Ok I know im a fool but I must be because last year I wanted to do a marathon and could only find one attached to an Ironman. So now I know I can finish a marathon im looking for another one to do. I know I can PB if I do another one, this time I will train longer and like before it will be attached to an Ironman. The Portsmouth Coastal Marathon started at the Pyramids centre Southsea and followed the coast around to Hayling Island, the route was well marked and plenty of marshalls along the route. The aid stations were well stocked and being in the last 10% ..........................ok 5% there was plenty left for me and my fellow laggers. Nice medals at the finish, free soup and a roll (wont bother next time yuck) and I think a tee shirt but I was too knackerd to notice. Very friendly banter from other runners and very good facilities. What else do you want a week before Christmas. Well some park runs and speed work to get my short distance speed up, back in the pool and on the bike as Im signing up for ironman Wales next week. Next event for me I think will be Wokingham Half then Reading Half. ..................................................................................................................
