BBC weather update 16 deg sunny spells 18m/p/h Easterly winds
If you know someone who is planning on entering on the day please ask them to get to Race Hq early I have received a lot of email and phone enquiries so the late entry desk will be busy.
Not long now chaps !
Weather sounds perfect for a nice stroll along the Thanet coast!!!!
Traccies who are helping - BBQ at ours from 3.00pm ish to say Fanks
metcheck say max 15 degrees, sun and clouds and 13 mph gusts
leaving shortly see you tomorrow
Well I have just been out on the course and I have whitewashed the rocks, raked the sand and combed the seaweed, it looks absolutely gorgeous. The sun is shining, and there is a gentle breeze, just enough to avoid overheating, I am so envious of all you runners tomorrow.
Good luck to you all, have a fantastic run and just savour the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings
Say Hi as you pass me, I will be stationed just as you leave the park at about 7 miles
what a fab friendly race
loved it, not as tough as I thought, except the last few miles, legs tired, stomach cramps and kept thinking round the next headland would be the kite festival and the finish, but it seemed to take its time coming
thanks to all the friendly marshalls especially current mrs F who I ran with for the middle part of the course.
the weather and the lido for cooling off tired legs were a bonus and a sub 3 hr finish
will try and encourage a few more pirates the next time
Great to meet Jellybabe and Mumtoten and very well done ladies!
Really enjoyed myself until the last 3 miles - what is it about men - honestly whinging and shuffling and asking are we there yet?!!!!
Huge thanks to the marshals especially the handsome, debonair guy at the far end of George VI park
Well done to all who ran and a HUGE THANKS to all the Marshalls as without you guys we cant put on these events.
That was a good race - cracking weather as well, although I was a bit taken aback as to how hard it was to navigate the rocky segments of the course. Very enjoyable though, and I can safely say I've never been so happy to spot a flying octopus as I was when we came round for the finish!
Does anyone know if there will be a list of results and times published anywhere?
Mrs F
ended up having sunday dinner at the promenade resturant
will have to make a return trip one year to sample deep fried mushy pea fritters
fincho I was desperate to see the flying octopus, seemed to take ages for them to come into sight
Results are now on line conjunctivitis slowed their upload
I shall keep my eyes peeled and check the website later then as I forgot to stop my watch on the finish (always a pain!)
However, this was more than made up for by piling in with a t-shirt, crisps, stick of seaside rock (brilliant!) and some energy drinks so good work to whoever organised all the goodies.
DB2 Thanks for the speedy posting of the results which you can all find on our club website.
If ive done the link thingy right
www.thanetroadrunners.org.uk
Photos should start to arrive in the next day or so on Imagesaurus.co.uk

I want to know who the handsome, debonair marshall was, oh I think it was me.
Well done to TRAC for a great event, I think that I could get used to this marshalling lark, stand there for ages, shouting at people, whilst thinking you could do it better yourself. Oh yes, it sounds just like the day job!
Well done to all of you, it was a terrific day
Now that the pain from the blisters has started to fade slightly, yes, I guess I did enjoy this in a weird sort of way.
I really enjoyed the race on Sunday very tough excellently organised marshals were brilliant T shirt great. I cant seem to get onto the Thanet road runners website to get the results any chance of an e-mail address so I can request them that way.
Tanks again for a great day will be back next year.
