SiLeakHunt Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's starting on Soi 4 so obviously going to loop past Soi 6 twice. It's the 26.2 miles that'll kill people its the Yodsak diversion. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 If Sayjann can run a marathon in spite of 40 fags a day,you can do it hopping a long on one leg! in Stockholm i was wilting at around 19 Miles and dying for a fag. saw a couple having a picnic while enjoying the weather and the race and both were smoking. gave me the chance to bum a fag from them and they even gave me 2 glasses of wine..... the Swedes are very civilised IMO...........
