We have one entry into the new London Landmarks Half
Marathon which was a shambolic process but I think these races like it this way
as it gets them talked about. In the end preregistering was pointless, as
entries were open to anyone whether they’d preregistered or not, and you could
only do one entry at a time. It was easy enough to get myself a place but by
the time I’d done that and started over again entering L’s details the race was
full. So the internet is now awash with people who are in but their partner isn’t.
Like us.
The website also said it would hold your place for 15
minutes once you were on, to give you time to enter you details but this turned
out to be untrue. Cue meltdown on Facebook.
There were actually only half of the 10000 places available,
the rest are now being offered as charity places and cost about eight times the
standard place. If the race was a concert, this would be referred to ticket
touting.
Squash tonight, to which L walks with MD. Then afterwards we
do two pubs in a night as we go to both the Navigation and the Dispensary at the
request of my (usually non drinking) opponent.
