One the way down to marathon for the whole time I thought that I know where marathon is taking place. And then just after I have the passed Maynooth I have realized that probably marathon is not taking place where I thought it will. Longwood, Staplestown… what’s the difference? Yep, drive down time wise probably similar but route is different. I hate Longwood loops. Again, hard to say why but it the case. So, I was really glad that I haven’t landed there. But looking at lashing rain and low temperature we were here for a ball. Ohh… and there was just one portable toilet so no chance using it with all runners trying to get into it. Even if that was just for couple of minutes to get shelter from wind, temperature and rain. Even when waiting time was same as usual in such a weather conditions it felt at least like 2 hours wait… That wasn’t great forecast for the marathon ahead.
Almost in the wrong place
