Not doing FLM or a spring mara - but for some unearthly reason I do quite fancy another bash at this one.
Must be mad...
Even though I was on the lash the night before and the wheels fell off big-time at 14 miles, I thought the new course last year was a great improvement on the 2 lapper we used to do.
Trying to get the other half to do it but she sooo doesn't want to be last and looking at previous results she might be in the last 10 (i.e. over 4 hours)
Hiya bazzo, I've heard there's a bit of a hoo haa. I did sneak a peak at the thread this morning but really couldn't be bothered to get into it.
I feel that as long as the chosen ones are prepared to report regularly on the forum then fine. I don't care if the RW forum member has never posted before as this will be a great introduction to the forum for them.
The downside of one of our more 'popular' forumites getting a place is that all their cliquey mates will be bombarding their FLM training threads with the usual load of old guff.
hey Scotty and Bazzo If your getting hassled over on "the other side" let us know who it is and we will ban then from this race and forum
I'll be there for this annual pilgrimage!
But if I'm not, I'll be on here leading up to it giving all newbies the benefit of my long experience, particularly advice on what (and what not) to watch out for on the day.
(Actually, I've only run this race once, but I feel I know it SO well!)
Ole fetid breath started it, mf7!
..hey, you're never out of the spirit, Christmas or no, (my sources inform me!)
btw is that a moniker of Alfie Bass, by any chance?
Hi all
I'll be along for this again next year....who would want to miss the delights of Thanet in the Springtime?!
Any news on whats happened to the Worthing 20 miler - they seem a little late announcing their date this time round....
Hiya Birdypie, apparently it's cancelled according to their news page : http://www.worthingharriers.com/news.php
<div align="left">"WORTHING 20" RACE - [10th Oct 2007]Due to the clashing with dates of other races in the region, the timing of the Easter weekend and, in particular, practical difficulties relating to the course itself, it has been decided not to hold the "Worthing Twenty" in 2008. If the technical problems can be overcome, a decision regarding the future of this popular race will be taken as soon as possible.
A shame as I was considering it for 2008.
not 'popular' with me - any race that repeats itself so many times (is it 4 laps?) is one to avoid.
why, even Thanet learned about multiple laps - all it needs to do now is to have a circuit instead of an out 'n' back, and they'd be perfect! (now I never thought I'd be saying that about Than!)
Yeah Worthing was rather dull but I always did quite well there! That's a shame. Still I'm thinking about returning to the Coombe Gibbet - Overton 16 in 2008 which was fabulous last time I ran it.
I agree though Snoop - generally I hate lap courses...can't stand running past the finish line!
Birdiepie Coombe Gibbet - Overton is great fun isnt it (we've done it the last two years) and down hill all the way !!
Steady Snoop you have your reputation to consider you nearly said something nice about thanet
Careful Plum! Not wise to abuse a hungover birdy
