I have also seen advertised a sports blogger required, so I applied for that with a couple of blog posts from my training blog.
I have not heard anything back since then so I assume I did not get it but at least I am applying for writing stuff.I will do a follow up later to see if they have any comments about the work or why I did not get it.

My Race Report on Running Web Site
Parts of my race report have been included on the web site running magazine's editorial for the event. Also included is one of the photos I took which happens to be me at the end with the commemorative horse brass.
Out of the 1,300 word race report they included under 100 words but also included some details of the place names which did make it read better.
They are doing a 2 page article in the next issue of the magazine so I may be included in that.

Marathon Scribbles
Late the other night I wrote my race report and emailed it directly to the online editor of the running magazine that I am a subscriber to along with some photos I took during the event. Before the event they asked for some people to write a race report for the online section of the magazine, so I replied back to this request.
I got a reply back from the person which seems encouraging as it was not a rejection message, I should know in the next few days if they have used any of the stuff I sent them.
I think the amount of fresh sea air that day must still be affecting me as the race report was 1,365 words, that's 52 words per mile. Also the 40 photos I took averages out as one every 2/3 mile (1 km), some of which are the more arty type which they often use in the magazine.
Also while on my sight seeing tour of Hastings I was chatting to a few runners as I went around. One of them I recognised the club as part of the cross country league that my running club is in, so I started talking to her. It turns out she is the editor of a new free running magazine launching this month. So I have since emailed her asking if she would want a report and photos of the race for that magazine.
Oh yeah I completed it in just under 5 hours.
