Yesterday was the Beachy Head Marathon. Described as the toughest uk marathon, taking place on the sussex downs, starting and finishing in Eastbourne. Knowing quite a few runners, I thought I'd do my weekend bike ride and do some supporting at the same time. On hearing the weather forecast I had second thoughts, but stuck to by promise and headed out for a ride - jersey pockets stuffed with gels. Managed to watch the start, you couldn't even see the top of the first hill for the mist.
Unfortunately I only take a few pictures, the weather was rubbish (very wet and misty) and I was getting cold every time i stopped.
Completely managed to miss Helyn, (King of the mountains) at all but the junction with the road 5 mins in!
Last year having watched i fancied entering. This year watching - not a chance! but having said that never say never, if Kona doesn't happen i might be looking for a back up.
