Don't get caught out. #justice4Xavier Arrival and AccommodationWe were living in London at the time, and did not have a car yet, so this trip was fully done using public transport! So just to let you know, although having a car is always a better option in my honest opinion, it is possible using public transport. We got the train down to Worthing on Friday afternoon and walked down to an Airbnb we had booked (Laura was lovely! Click here for details). As the race was starting early on Saturday morning, we thought staying the night before would be the better option! Before dinner we went for a walk to the beach, and as you can tell it was a glorious British weather day (not!). We then had dinner at Blue Ocean Fish & Chips, and it was really yummy! Pre-race preparationI really like Centurion as a running company. They are a great company who put on some great races, the organisation is lovely and thoughtful for the runners, volunteers and supporters (I have been 2 out of 3 of these things, and Ed has been all 3!). They have very helpful details about where crews can help, parking information and tips (see below), and their registration run pretty smoothly and uneventfully. Here are the following race preparations I did however, and, not having a car, it was definitely worth it!
It was also on this run that I bought my first every fold up chair for waiting on Ed. It cost me £3 from Mountain Warehouse on sale, was a small tripod stool, but it made a world of difference!! Finally, we were planning on leaving our overnight bag with the Centurion bag drop, so that I wouldn't have to lug about both of our things all day! Definitely worth it! RACE DAY!
