The lastest info.
Looking forward to this now.
My knee is a bit better so I should be able to get a few more long 'uns in beofre a week on saturday. 25% off in the Pitcher should also ensure I get a few ciders down me afterwards (for re-hydration purposes obviously).
Thanks Chris for that ,getting excited now haha 1st HM for me
Well Jim Fruit is good for you, if you have some cider and a fruit and nut bar I am sure you would of got your 'five a day'
Everyone received an info email from them ?
And me!
Chris, Spence did you run the asics Arden? I used it as a training run. I hope I'm ready for this, it is just the geese droppings that is worrying me and the fact that I can't take my glassess off for the tunnel because I can't see with out them. (They're photochromic lets hope they live up to the Hype eh)
Hi All
Trust you have all had your email update? Details along with race number and attached chip will be posted toward the end of the week.
Thanks to Adrian for the Pitcher & Piano offer - always a popular post run "haunt", may even get the odd tunnel ghost there too
. We have boats in place at 6,9,12 miles plus a "static" drink station at mile 3 so please be nice to the good folk (we know you will be) as we count on them year on year.
The tunnel - yep it's still there, it's still long and it's still dark
but we will have some basic lighting in there. Basic is the word though so as per previous posts, if it is sunny lift your shades
The lovely people who are rebuilding half of the road network around W-ton station have left some scaffolding up around a bridge 200m after the start but have ensured it is wide enough to run by. Please do be aware of this though - no chatting to your bessie mate and not looking where you are going!
We have a good team of marshals but are always happy to have more so if you know anyone send them our way. info@bbchm.co.uk
Trust you are all carbo loading on pasta and marmite.
Cheers - see you SATURDAY July 2nd (yes we still get one or two who roll up Sunday).
EL3, yes I ran the Arden 9 and now I have a sore knee
, hopefully it will be fine by this weekend though so I can continue training. At least this one will be flat in comparison !
Irondog, bacon sandwich carb loading special diet + brown sauce
Sorry about the sore knee Chris lets hope it mends soon.
Heres to a week on Saturday then.
I've checked the list, you're not on it Mrs Far Far !!
but then I'm not either !!
