I still sound like garbage: Training Diaries: Week 25

This week starts off with me sounding like a set of bagpipes suffering from tonselitis. It gets better though.
Training for a marathon is like fighting a gorilla. You don't fight until you're tired, you fight until the gorilla is tried. H. Keddell, 2018.

Hey mate did you see the cairns marathon starting times. Marathon and half marathon start together which is fine like Brisbane but the 10km is starting 15 mins later start.
Surely it will take longer than 15mins to get all the Marathon categories through the starting gate.
The coarse is going to be packed with runners 🏃‍♀️ 😳
Congrats on getting an entry into the Sydney marathon

Yeah the scheduler for Cairns Marathon really does need to take a good hard look at things. Every year there is a bottleneck of some sort. It gets frustrating pushing through the 10k runners. There are a lot less runners at Cairns than Brisbane. I think it usually only takes about 5 minutes to get through.

@runningwithaj Are you starting with the Elites or A grade?
I am going to try and be up towards the front of the A graders
(😅😂 like all good A graders sitting up the front of the class)

@logsie3918 no I’m doing everything to control myself. I’ll be in the A wave but a fews steps back from the line. Last time I lined up at the front I ran a 3:50 first k and blew apart at 18k. Not repeating that one!
