The last time I did an overseas race it was a half marathon in Bangkok and it’s fair to say I didn’t prepare that thoroughly. With less than two weeks to go until the Venice marathon, and with a PB on my mind, I’m starting to get organised and leave nothing to chance.

Here’s my race packing list for my trip to Venice… am I missing anything? With 10% of Venice currently flooded, maybe I should add a snorkel and flippers.
