We all made our way up to Fort William on Saturday afternoon and met at the hotel. Sean even had a test drive with his new running group before he headed up (DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!!)
The journey was accompanied by our team cd!!
Jim looked like he was going in for a major operation!! (someone should tell him it's only a wee run!!) In fact he looked like this until about 3pm on Sunday!!!
A quick trip to the Lochaber Expo!! After fighting the queues to register and resisting the official merchandise (50p for last years T-shirt anyone!!?) we headed back to the hotel. The Casey's swam and then joined the team for drinks and food. Jim still looked like he had a terminal illness!!!! We were joined by Vinny (not my cousin!) from the Olympians and the pre race "guess the time" ritual took place!!
£5 a go! Jim 3.58, Sandra 3.56, Carolyn 4.35 and Vinny 3.17
The mood was very sombre and Carolyn "hustled" us all with her chat about 5 hours etc!!! Sandra looked worried sick (although not as bad as Jim!!!). Sean and Moira enjoyed a couple of pints, G&T and a few wines and even Des had a Baileys!!-it's a tough life being a supporter!!
Early bed was the order of the day!
