When you race do you like your support:-

1. at the start...to grab hold of any clothing thrown off just before the gun....
2. along the course..to cheer you on and throw you a drink....
3. at the end...to tell you how great you looked down the home straight?
4. everywhere!


When I did the Dublin Marathon a few years back SWMBO spent the entire race running across the city's back streets to meet me on the course so that I saw her about 5 times during the race.... she must have run a half marathon herself in providing this support.

Half way up a hill!

Most of my support is at the end - because they all run faster than me and are waiting for me at the end!

I don't take along any extra support, I just see the other runners from my club at the end.

I remember being really bewildered at the end of a race because there were so many people and i couldn't find my missus, which was quite depressing! But I still think along the course, it's really uplifting to have someone shouting for you in the midst of everything :-)

In my bra lol and my shoes

Ahhhhh Steve thats so sweet......... (still don't know what SWMBO stands for!!!)

As for the question, only ever done one race and it was very nice to see people I recognised at regular intervals around the course, even if what they were shouting could only loosely be described as 'constructive'

Being completely non-PC ..... if I'm re-incarnated I'd like to come back as a bra!!!
