Forgot all about Alan running today felt guilty not posting earlier to wish him well, anyway checked the website he finished in a time of 4h 47min. Well done Alan congratulations!!!!!
The race was the most well organised event I have ever attended. We finished in the Olympic Stadium (built for the 1912 Olympics) and it was full as we entered the stadium and ran round the track - with tears in my eyes!
Stockholm was very beautiful but also very expensive - in Bratislava we paid 1.50 for a pint and in Stockholm it was over 6.00!!! Funnily enough I am currently about 60 KM away from Bratislava, in Vienna.
I am not sure if Stockholm would qualify for a "Striders away trip" based on the cost but for something special I would highly recommend the City of Stockholm and the Marathon.
I am looking forward to getting back to training with the Striders.
