Muttley - Really gutted for you. What you said is so right..if the man says no then.... Sure you will be up collecting medals shortly.
RLTW.... maybe because the female numbers start at 2000 upwards.
Get better soon Mutley you will be missed.
Aha! That would be a possibility Galtton, though I did register quite late too. I see there is a limit of 1500 entrants so the gender thing is more than likely.
I'm now beginning to feel rather in the minority! Are there any females out there?
I guess that's me winning 1st lady then (I wish). More likely to be last lady, but so long as I get round that's fine!
sorry for you Muttley... as i know how it feels when you have to pull out from a race. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, good look in your recovery,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and all the best to everyone for the race on sunday
Thanks guys! I probably could get away with this one but I've made that mistake before.
"Mutley you will be missed." ... but only if the gun jams, I take it
Hi Stacey - Thank goodness for that ! I was beginning to think I would be a lone female. Have you done this one before? What time are you hoping for? My half pb is just over 2:30 (at Great North Run) but I don't know how this one compares.
Weather (from Metcheck) looks like -
From 10:00 to 12:59
Temp = 24 °c
Feels = 25 °c
UV = 4
Rain = 0.0 mm
Cloud = 61 %
Speed = 12 mph
Gust = 15 mph
In the notes -
Please note that our car parking is at Farnham Park Playing Fields off the A355. Please allow at least 20 minutes to walk to the Race HQ.
RLTW - I`m getting there early (9.15) & will be wearing my Mr.K. FETCH top...will try and find you & say hello
Mr K - I usually aim to get to a venue an hour ahead of start time so hopefully I won't be far away when you arrive. I haven't decided what I'm wearing yet.
Need to check back on my race pack but does anyone happen to know if the swimming is at the car park end or the race start end just in case I have the energy at the end for a whaft around in the pool
(should be empty by the time I get there !)
Anyone know if there are showers available post-race?
My clubmate and I are thinking of racing on Sunday if there are places available on the day - does anyone have any info on whether the limit has been reached yet?
S.
Cento..... e-mail the previous posting from you...Keith.
OK, have just seen that Mara Yamauchi holds the ladies course record. Didn't she win the London Marathon this year? Something to strive for I suppose
Mr K - That's rather hot weather you are predicting. Good excuse for struggling a bit
. I'm looking forward to a swim already 
.
Hi everyone,just 2 days to go now cant wait the pool is great after the run and my friend is the life guard there.he is called chris doyle so make sure you say a big hi to him.Really nice guy,anyway of for a night run now see you all soon.......x
Been away, just caught up. Bad luck Muttley - join the club of people taking it carefully and grmbling cos they can't run their favourite run. I'm still being nice to my knee so I know how it feels! (knees and calf tears - been there before too) Hope it gets better soon.
Good luck tomorrow everybody. If we haven't gone out somewhere (giving BB a wide berth) I'll come and wave. Drink lots of water and thank Crumpet for all those trees (shade) And the swimming pool.
Cheers RHR ... I certainly am grumbling, it's something I do well.
Good luck guys. Forecasters say it'll be a scorching day so you'll be glad of the shade. Watch out for the, ahem, speed bump at miles 6-ish and 12-ish.
race photos will be up later today here
well done today, that was a scorcher!!!!
That's a rather splendid new site you have there Rich. Pity I'm hors de combat at the mo, would have been nice to see you again.
If you can do what no other photographer has managed to date, and capture me looking like I'm in something even vaguely resembing forward motion, never mind actually running, I promise to pay up for it!
So come on guys, how did it go? Tis a bit warm today ...
