Denny - I am confident that you won't be the last! I found it really tough going last year as had really bad tummy cramps - hoping this won't be the case! Besides you should be training slow on the long runs anyway - I never understood this but I think the reasoning is like this ... long runs build the endurance but if you do them too fast you exhaust yourself and increase the risk of injury. SO the benefit of running long distance all at MP is outweighed by injury risk and exhaustion. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong!
I've no race pack - should I be worried? Will check my email in case we have to pick them up on the day!
I have target times first 7 @ 10:30, 7 @ 10:10 and last 6 @' 9:45 - Sound like anyones times?
There will be plenty of people around on Lap 1 Denny and as the others have said you won't be last so I'm sure you'll have people in sight to focus on / run with for the 2nd Lap as well.
The ETL team have just been having a well earned break but are now back in the country so I'm sure are probably knee deep in putting numbers into envelopes as we speak!
Have a great run all of you.
Apologies for the lack of contact, wifi in NZ is sporadic at best.
We've just got back to blighty after a three week break. I'll be processing all of the Spitfire stuff today. You'll receive an email later with details about picking up race numbers etc.

I'm signed up for this one
hopefully I'll be doing about 10 minute miles, which I call slow
i have to be honest i'm not - i'm seeing this as the biggest hurdle in my training and a bit worried about getting round
Awww Denny
just talk it a mile at a time, you'll be fine.
Post waded through, finally. E-mails will go out sometime tomorrow morning. I'm off to bed now
Race day instructions now on the website. Linky wotsit
16 last week? Well in that case it'll be a doddle
Esp when cake is the motivation
It's going to feel like a long way but I will try and go mile by mile.
Crumbs Denny, at that pace you'll be fine
No autumn spitfire this year I'm afraid. Dunsfold aerodrome charge an extraordinary amount of money for the use and we've lost money on the event the last couple of years so we''ve canned it.
