they say the Marathon de Sable is hot, sticky, sandy, painful and you feel like you have gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson...
It is a little like a night out in Southend (prounouced Sarrfend), apparently. |

Saw the Jack Osbourne MdS attempt in the week - kin hell.
He made one day of the race, and the medical tent looked like something out of Saving Private Ryan and that was just after 15 miles !
Good Luck Graham ! |

The thing that would bother me the most about this race would be my feet.
If I lose most (8 out of 10 or was that 11 ?) of my Toenails in my last race I think it would my toes I would worry about losing in this one.
Graham your feet are going to be ripped apart ! as I know you will give it your best effort.
I know Deserts and heat Matey and I dont like them but everyone to their own thing.
Too hot for me ! |

Less than 6 months to go!! Thought I'd better update my website and start trying to get a bit of sponsorship. If you have 5 mins to spare take a look...

Graham, well done shameless and disgraceful use of Forum to codge funds from people.....brilliant! Done!
Best of luck for venture.....if you need/want any SUCCEED buffers let me know..much better then the fizzy tablet stuff MdS people seem to advocate....

Mr G iam so excited for you !! you will love it ! Dont forget if you need any advice ! I cant tell you how to run fast ! but as ive said many times before MDS is all about knowledge and preperation !
The Thames Meander is deff the race to do ! you will gain more knowledge that day than all the others .. ive just entered as part of my prep for GUCR..Not only that you will probably win it ( even i finished 4th last time )..
ps You will love Clearwater FL. Got back last week .. bloody hot ! ideal training for MDS.. a very jealous Gaza |

Cleared up nicely thanks Mike, still running in a knee support for psycological reasons but no pain on the club ultra so all good!
Roll on London, Halstead, Abingdon and London to Brighton!!!
Thanks again for the articles you sent, after seeing G today, I think he could do with seeing them (he's hurt his knee).......... |
