Run Kirst Run: that is not the sort of service you would expect from an event such as the Great South. I have not looked myself, but is there not a phone number somewhere on the website. If so phoning would be your best option. Other then that all I can suggest is try sending more e-mails until you get a reply.
Well hope you get this resolved soon, and who knows, the race pack may turn up in tomorrows post.
Thought I might do a bit of cheeky carb loading tonight, bottle of red and some cake are going down very well.
I'm in the white wave, which I think is about right for me, getting quite excited now.
Just to warn people, there are long term road works on the M275 which will still be there for the GSR. They haven't really caused any disruption so far, but there is a reduced speed limit and narrow lanes so allow plenty of time to get there.
There are also speed cameras on ALL routes onto Portsmouth. Take care.
Hmm, am in green wave which is a bit odd as last year was in white and predicted to be much slower.
Am looking at a time of 1.40 or so which would have thought would be a white wave time? Will it slow me down if I go in the green wave? Will they really kick me out the white wave if I just go in there?
Suggest you get to the very front of your colour as I am doing to mine - need to get in there early mind.
Good half done today - not quite a pb but huge improvement on last year. Looking forward to setting a 10-mile pb next week
Hope everyone has had a good weekend and is ready for next weekend.
I'm in white wave on Sunday and so looking forward to it
Did a local 10 mile road race today in prep and considering I've been rather ill most of the week so not really race fit, finished in 1hr 33mins
I'm running for the Guide Dogs Association as a dear friend of mind last her sight n her early 20's and received such great and help for the association and I wanted to help give something back not just for her but for others who in need of help too. If anyone would like to sponsor me please visit www.justgiving.com/caroline-partner Thank You x
Race pack has finally arrived.
I'm running in White wave number 12955!
If anyone uses runbritainrankings, they intend on adding 10-miles to the list of options in future but not likely to be before GSR but you may be able to add your performance at some point soon
I've just had my number through and I'm in the green wave, but entered through a charity and don't recall getting a time option. I was hoping to do it in under 1hr30mins, but I've had a cold/laringitis that's gone to my chest and haven't trained in two weeks. I've still got it a bit and now I'm getting nervous that with no training for two weeks I wont be up to it. Might try and get out for a short run on Thursday if my chest it better. Any advice on recovering from these bugs much appreciated. Good luck to you all for Sunday!

Hope Saturday's forecast doesn't slip to the Sunday, which at present looks OK.
Southsea forecast.
heavy rain ??? 25mph winds ??? must be time for the great south run...
i've done the last 4 GSR and only last year was it actually sunny ! all the others have been raining, really effects the crowd levels so, lets pray for some sun !
Well the weather does look promising though chilly. Good for running!
I sprained a knee ligament 5 weeks ago and had given up taking part. You can imagine my frustration.
I even considered entering in a wheelchair!
My knee has improved a lot and so I thought I would walk the 'run'. When I asked my physio for his advice yesterday I had 'hoped' he would tell me not to do it therefore common sense would prevail and I would get a lie in on sunday. However he said that he had no problem with me walking the 10 miles, although the knee would get sore it wouldn't do any damage as long as I didn't run
.
So do I or don't I? My miserable git of a partner said she wasn't going to stand around waiting for me for 3 hours so won't come along. But I love the GSR especially if it's not raining! Bad weather would keep me at home but I won't wish for it and spoil everyone else's fun!
I would be wearing my fairy outfit cos it's good for banter with the crowds. Anyone else out there going to walk and keep me company???
GF; not walking it, however, happy to cheer you on should our paths cross.
You will not be alone
GF - Good for you. I just looked up the results from last year - they were still coming in after 3hrs so you will not be alone.
Had a sneak at their photos too....a cheerful & colourful lot
Yay! I'm defo up for this now
Bought some cold spray stuff today and it worked a treat on my sore knee so I'll have it with me enroute ensunday!
Anyone spot me then say HI please. I'm in white start so all of the green wave will pass me! Look out for my flowing green locks which are being tried out for the first time
.
Bring it on!
Rain seems to be flying past us, as does the 8 pints of honey dew mmmmm.
Time now to focus on race.
