A couple more ninny worrier questions.
Do they have water/Lucozade stations?
My family want to come and laugh at me - I was expecting a route map with the number and chip. Is it easy for spectators to get to the good parts of the course (ie the bog)?
Your family will be best staying at the bog of doom - you have to walk past it from the car park so you know what you're letting yourself in - it's where most people stay and take photos. To be honest it's not too easy for spectators to get to other parts anyway so keep them there - they'll have the best laugh. Last year aload of guys took shower gel into the bog with them and had a muddy foam fight so there's plenty going on for them to laugh at!
Lets say it's 8-10 miles long, you can walk 4 miles in an hour, so 2 1/2 hours max, if your jogging bits maybe a bit quicker
Took me 2hrs last year and i can run a half mara in 1hr 40 normally.
Homework for the weekend.....Wear the trainers you are planning on wearing, & jump in some deep mud to see if they come off.....I saw a LOT of people losing shoes up north. [chuckle]
Cogga, I was 2 hrs 12 up north, & I'm a bimbler.....Don't know how long your race will be though. Ours was much longer last year.
Good advice Bimbler. I did a muddy 10 miles on Sunday but nothing deep (no penguins either!). I will try and find a propper bit of mud this weekend.
Cogga - my half mara time is 2:40. It could take me 3 hours to do this. Don't worry, you won't be last! And if you are I will be most disapointed cos I'm counting on it being me. Last one home in a race gets the best cheer after the winner.
I have my number today. Sunday it is.
My first time.
The course is 3 miles from my house so I am gonna cycle up with a thermos .
I may even come and watch the Saturday shift.
Good luck everyone!
(No I am not renting out my shower!)
You can have a hose pipe shower for a fiver, if it isnt solidly iced up. the water that is not your fiver.
ooo good, showers. Thanks Rich. Save some hot water for me at the end won't you! You are thinking of connecting the hose pipe to your hot water tap I presume?
Five pounds for a forum shower is a bargain so with enough of us it will only be 10p each. I'll start the collection shall I? 
we still talking about the Hell Runner?
Note to self.
trim toenails and wear socks I wont mind loosing.
I want to come......But Hampshire is too far....Your bog is better than our bog.....
Soup will come last cos she plays Toss the Penguin on Facebook aaaaalll day long, & hasn't trained for 2 years......
I train hard at coming last. And you just wait - there will be penguins in that bog that need tossing out of the way.
I succumbed to the alcohol yesterday and feel a little ill today.
BB - exactly! They don't have to worry about opening the roads or anything. And I'd like to give time for all the traffic to move out of the car park at the end so why rush? I'm up for just enjoying this. See you at the back Cogga. I'll be wearing horns that light up. And my hubby is thinking of dressing up as Dracula now.
He's faster than me though so we'll probably only start together but you won't miss us at the beginning!
Do you think the burger van will still be open at 5pm though?
