OK, I thought I would summarise the guesstimates we have so far. Obviously no-one is expecting me to go hyper, with BG level ranging from 4.9-6.6. There's quite a broad spread on the finishing time too, from 1:45:33 to 1:59:00. Looks like you all expect me to improve on last years time of 2 hrs+!
Come on guys, more guesses please!

Thanks Mand! The BG guesses are getting lower, but at least no-one has got me out of range yet!

You'll get there with the readings - haven't you got your carb-counting course coming up soon?

Brilliant Tez, thank you! Ooh! 4.8 sounds a bit low, but it's just as likely as anything else! Hopefully, I won't get the urge to gorge on jelly babies half a mile from the end!😱

Wow shiv, that's terrific! Thank you very much!🙂 The target was just plucked out of the air really - they make you set one when you set the page up, so I based it on what I would normally hope to raise. The fact that I've reached that target with 7 weeks still to go makes me hope that I will exceed it before the race!
p.s. are you going to try and guess my BG level and finish time?

Terrific! It will be as soon as I can get my hands warm enough to get some blood out - it was very cold and wet last year by the end!😱😉

I thought 4.8 would be a good 'middle' reading to have and it was the reading I had after going out for a jog/run/walk with my friends the other day.
