Colin, you are younger than me
Dunc,
What time do you call this?
Morning all,
Everything Hunky Dory?
Good luck for tomorrow guys, especially Colin...I expect you to keep or even break that course record.
I've decided to stay at home, forecast looks good and no wind forecast but it's too cold for me to run an ultra in and I don't want to mess up my training at this stage. I also have some concerns re my 200 mile drive home after the race in sub zero temperatures, although the roads should be dry I can't guarantee that.
aw Shades!!!!!!!!!!!
will miss you
Soz to hear that Shades.
Tracey's just texted to say there's a thick ground frost there today so def looks like it'll be a chilly start at least.
Cas, just remembered - the stretch of A1306 between Dovers Corner and the traffic lights is 30mph and there's a camera altho' not sure whether there's ever any film in it. Best safe than sorry tho!!
Glad I got the bike jacket now!
Neither do I of course!
Been awake since 4 and, of course, got snoozy around time to get up so had a mini lie in. Now way behind!
Just realised I had ordinary tea last night not decaff so maybe it was that or maybe it was just all those thoughts that were churning round my little mind!!!
Drinks mixed so that's one job done!
Mornin Everyone again
Shades - shame about that , but you know whats best
Yeh - Cas that rocking cat is good , my daughter wants one - a real one ! er No
Snowwy - where were you , oh yes lost in all this whiteness

Phuqquing hell
Hippo - hows the lurgy ? Shorts , yes I've done lsr for 4 1/2 hours in non stop rain and 1 1/2 runs in frost and wind all in the dark .
Anyway , who are you calling MAD ???? I'm just ever slighlty ahead of you thats all
I am still schnotty

again!
A balmy 6 degrees here in Devon at the moment, no frost, no wind
I hope Tracey's not too cold in her caravan, she's staying near Brum which is where I'd booked in for tonight (hotel, no caravan for me) ...brrrrrr.
Don't forget your fleecy headband Hippo, got to keep your ears warm
Tracy was freezing on thurdsay
but bernard has arrived with balnkets now
you musnt set off too fast Dunc
Yes, here in Stratford on Avon, there's still a thick frost, and were only 42 miles from Draycote
Shades - a great shame, was really so looking forward to you being there , my wife also was thinking how great it would be to see you as well
Colin - Yes, were rooting for you as well like Shades said to bust that course record, hoping you come zooming lapping past us !!!!!!
well, i suppose all the talking is over ahh, it's time, time to put those final things away, have no idea what we'll do tomorrow
if it's frosty, until the sun melts it and it warms up, safety will have to prevail first

Thanks to Cas's suggestion, I have a small plastic crate which is now full of 4 0.5l bottles of oj/water/salt, one plain water and a choco-milk for post-run. Gel rubber banded to each oj bottle. Three small bags of jelly beans, some mini pringles, two nutrigrain bars, three rounds of jam sarnies and eight slices of malt loaf!!!
Think that'll keep me going?!
