George Watson 2

HTA,

Its good to here that you and the gang will be back for more in 2011. Spread the word and get the enties in early.

HTA

Will sort out in the new year - far too far away

George Watson 2

Well you never know the article in Novembers RW certainly raised the profile of the race.
Could we see a record entry in 2011?

Bright,

Need you full name and addres so that I can inform our admin to give you 666. Your entry form goes directly to them not to me. So they won't know what number to give you.- I need your detaisl so I can inform them.

I'm sending off my entry on Monday - can you make sure I have 8 8 8 George? I'd like to see how many 888 I can get next year (or 8, or 88, or 8888...) - got an 8 and 888 this year!

George Watson 2

I will see what can do?

George Watson 2

Runahoilic,
As you entry form doesn't come to us directly.
I would suggest you contact the Race the Train web page direct.
State why you want number 888.
Give your full name and address and state which race you will be competing in.The web page manager will then inform the admin team.

For all you guys who travelled up to North Wales this weekend for the Snowdon Marathon. How meny of you will be travelling a little further south and to face the challenge of the 2011 Race the Train.

HTA

Snowdon was awesome (i think...)

The weather was as good as RTT George. I'm starting to think it never stops raining in Wales

Hellrunner this Sunday. Along with RTT, one of my fave races.

George Watson 2

HTA,

I have news for youm You could be right about the weather? It hasn't stopped raining her for the last three days.

HTA

Well if thats the case I may have to go and run through the bog when I come down to you on Tuesday?

I see we are still unable to rate the race George. Also Snowdonia is missing off the list too.

George Watson 2

HTA,

I to couldn't get on the race ratings.I even E miled RW on at least three occassion to complain.
I didn't even get a reply

George Watson 2

For you guys out there who enjoy running for charity should note that we have our very first official race charity.

George Watson 2

Charity packs have been sent. For those of you

Sir Cowarde de Custarde

I'm supposed to be going on holiday in South Wales on this day.   I wonder whether I could arrive a little late and have another go at this race?

George Watson 2

No you will have to arrive for the start of the race as roads are open.
Also marshal's step down in some section when the sweep runners pass and we couldn't let you be out there on your own

Sir Cowarde de Custarde

Sorry, George, I meant arrive at our holiday cottage closer to 7 p.m. rather than the more normal 3 p.m.  after racing the train.   Half the fun of any race is the camaraderie with other runners - especially when it is tipping down with rain, or an attractive young lady grabs you round the waist in order to avoid falling into a bog, and shoves you in instead...

George Watson 2

I don't follow your logic?
If your going on hoiday to South Wales and don't arrive untill 7.00pm how would you get to North Wales for the race which starts @ 2.00pm.

Sir Cowarde de Custarde

If I Race the Train at 1.55 (it will take me until about 4.30 to finish), then I will arrive in South Wales about 7 o'clock, rather than 3 o'clock which is when I am likely to arrive if I do not race the Train.

George Watson 2

I would therefore suggest you do the race and arrive in South Wales for 7.00pm. Or why not just stay Tywyn on race night and come along to the evening entertainment/presentation and arrived South Wales refreshed on the Sunday?

Sir Cowarde de Custarde

We'll see - I have to get the idea past Lady de Custarde first!

George Watson 2

Ah, no dout that will be easier said than done?
Running the race will probably be easier than getting it past your better half.
Rather you than me.
Good lucxk.

HTA

So have you asked Santa for Sunshine this year George??

Don't take away the mud - that made it so much fun
