Easy enough to forget when you're thinking of nothing but last minute prep/checks the night before.<br /><br />Foreigners may not use Daylight Saving Time and may also be out of sorts by being abroad and preparing for the marathon.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-75494868952731623012015-10-24T17:08:03.043+01:002015-10-24T17:08:03.043+01:00About time.

More people could be persuaded to travel as they won't have to take another day off on the Tuesday, more people out to support after the marathon has finished and even for the runners themselves who don't have to hang around all weekend waiting. <br /><br />Let's hope Cork take note. <br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-35831074011595788922015-10-23T10:09:23.421+01:002015-10-23T10:09:23.421+01:00Well done Dublin..no more hanging around all weeke...Well done Dublin..no more hanging around all weekend until Monday and having to return to work the day after.

Sunday is without doubt the better day to have it on. Hopefully Cork organizers are looking at this and will use a bit of initiative.
