Port Fairy Marathon will be my first plastic cup free event. I take and keep my own drinks I think. Not taking seaweed this time[biggrin]

London Marathon Runners Were Handed Seaweed Pouches Instead Of Plastic Bottles

Who ****ing cares, if they don't toe the line there will be no point in having a Marathon in the future 'cos when they eventually reach the finishing point they will most likely find it under 10' of water anyway.
A great idea, maybe we will see Pepsi & Coke even Coffee Milk in similar garb one day. I won't hold my breath though. I bet the Plastic Bottle manufacturers were not a happy lot. No idling away their lives in the Med for them any more.
Oddly I think the cokes, Pepsi and Coffee Milk .... will all be wanting seaweed bottles. Would not need a use by date if it just rotted away a few months later.Quote:

Trivia the blowfly lava in rotting seaweed washed in to the water can bring whiting and other fish in and on the bite. I know that wont help my running[biggrin]

If you think it will affect your running I could always become a pace runner for you.
How many metres is this event, 20 you said?[bigrolf]
When the season and tides were right and the seaweed had been washed up into the storm water drains Redcliffe used to take on a certain odor. Let’s hope the processed variety loses done if it’s pungency. Or perhaps not as it might discourage littering
Fast or slow- She went the Distance ! Well done Freddie

She has shorter legs than all the others so it isn't surprising that she finished last.[bigrolf]
