Runningmum, my pack came last week, but my son hasn't had one, so assume the kids don't get them.
I don't race in cotton t-shirts, but they do come in useful down the gym!
I haven't got my pack yet. We are coming down to stay for the weekend so I hope it arrives before we leave on Wednesday!
I run in cotton t-shirts for short distances only - I sweat a lot and I don't like wearing a wet shirt for longer than about 20 minutes or so. Given the low cost of technical shirts these days, and the variety of styles and colours, there's no need to run in a cotton if you don't want to. A technical shirt is a sensible investment. But it's each to their own, and I know that some people do like to wear the sponsored shirt on the run itself, even when it is cotton.
One option that some people use, is to wear a technical shirt - perhaps a base shirt - and put the cotton on top of that. The technical will pull the sweat away from the body so you don't feel so uncomfortable.
Of course, if you don't sweat much, then a cotton is fine.
My son's now got his race pack... but he seems to have been entered in the wrong race and will be with kids far older than him! (and yes, I did fill in his application correctly...)
PS I've had a couple of really good technical t-shirts from races recently - wish more races could offer them!
Hi Muddy trainers
My daughter's pack arrived over the weekend but didn't think to check which race it was for! better go and find that envelope ...!!
I've arranged to pick up a race pack and t-shirt at the Guildhall when I arrive on Thursday.
The people I spoke with both yesterday and today were very helpful.
No race pack for me. I called and my name wasn't on their system! The cheque was cashed back in July, so to be fair they're going to send something out first class this afternoon.
A little panic moment from me when tey said I wasn't on their system, all that training for nothing? But as long as something arrives in the post it hould be fine. I'm glad I checked with them today though.
The weather looks nice for Sunday, hopefully not too nice. Sunny intervals - I want to run in the clouds...
Got pack
But no T Shirt. There was a note inside that explained that the T shirts went to the first 3000 applications. Fine with me, I binned a whole stack of race T shirts the other week! Now, medals on the other hand .....
My pack arrived this morning.
Just need to shake this little cold off and I'll be all set apart from my Garmin going belly up last night! I'm going to feel naked without it
Got my pack and my t-shirt from the Guildhall last night.
The chip is a velco strap that goes round the ankle. Not had one of those before. I prefer that to the chip which you have to put on your laces. Though my favourite is the chip on the number - nothing to worry about, and you throw it away afterwards.
The weather here in Swansea is great - perfect for running. I had a jog around Cymdonkin Park this morning - brought back memories as I lived right next to the park for two years when I was at the university and used to walk my dog in the park every morning.
Anyone not running ? I know 2 people after numbers.c
Sorted for race no. for my mate Rhys now
Is that the Reindeer run, Craig? Enjoy your first - Swansea is supposed to be a good one...!
Morning everybody
are we all ready? Its lovely out there
Just been down to the start to park my car close - better than struggling back up the hill to Uplands when tired! It's a nice morning, and there's stuff happening down there already as the organisers are getting everything ready.
It's going to be great!!!!!!

Well done everyone. It was strange being a spectator for a change. (Still not recovered from race last weekend.)
