Hence us returning home to get her number before returning back to Newcastle. She only survived because her Dad was driving and not me! I'd have killed her!!<BR/><BR/>The real joke though...

I remember I had that name tag on my race number and the thousands of spectators saw me beeing in trouble and cheered me on "Thomas go on, you can do it" stuff like that etc. In scorching heat with 5k to go I grabbed a plastic cup filled with coke with one hand and another cup with clear water with the other hand. The plan was to refresh myself with the water and pour that over my face and neck. Then to drink the coke. But since my brain was not working properly anymore at that stage I confused the right with the left hand. No, you do not guess what happened next. That's what happened: First I drank the water! And then I poured that Coke into my face! Coke in eyes and nose. It took a while and a lot of water until I could actually see again...Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642801966035986262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039390797669625550.post-73525412020075948382008-05-12T11:24:00.000+01:002008-05-12T11:24:00.000+01:00My comedy moment was at the end of one of my first...My comedy moment was at the end of one of my first races.<BR/>I really had issues with my knees when I first started running and at the the end of this half marathon my knees were sore and slightly swollen. Going to the first aid tent I got an ice pack from them, put it on my knee and wondered over to a grass area.<BR/>By now I was feeling very thirsty and for some unknown reason thought that an ice pack actually contained water. I burst the ice pack and attempted to drink the contents. <BR/>Lets just say that the burning sensation from my throat taught me that whatever chemical they use is not fit for human consumption. For the rest of the day I had the worst sore throat imaginable..<BR/><BR/>MarcoMarco Consanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320849606844119743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039390797669625550.post-28220520515838567862008-05-11T21:59:00.000+01:002008-05-11T21:59:00.000+01:00Debs, for comedy moments in races I refer you to m...Debs, for comedy moments in races I refer you to mine and Darrel's attendance at the Hastings Half Marathon, detailed on my blog.
