I gave my place in the half marathon to another woman. She’s a friend of a friend and didn’t even need to get into training for the race. She was DELIGHTED to be able to take part and not at all phased about only having 3 weeks notice. Well of course she did REALLY well and now the organisers have congratulated me on my exceptionally good time and I’ve been tagged in all the photos and now I’ll probably be invited back next year to run in Pen 1 (or whatever they’re called) to set off with all the really really fast runners. Suddenly the marathon scene in “Run Fatboy Run” springs to mind. How embarrassing.
They’ve just announced that 5,000 urine samples taken during the Beijing Olympics are going to be re-tested for a new performance enhancing drug….one that presumably had got through the test thus far. Oh dear. Be afraid.
