(have been twice and can't say that the live entertainment has ever been such that I'd take a later train so as not to miss it!!)
whats the other forum? and why can't you see the sea from WSM?

By the way, how much prep are you doing for this race? What time are you hoping to make?
Our Club runs as a Club that day, with the slowest runner and all decked out in nice flourescent green tutus and tinsel wigs!! (the standing in the sea dressed as a Viking is optional - my forum picture was taken after the Cracker 2 years ago, when I declared war on Wales!!(ran almost as far to find water that deep than in the race!))
we really just have to hope the weather's OK - the race organisation is always good, the course is nice and flat (and there's stuff for non-running family spectators to do whilst you are running) - but a strong wind along the Prom might spoil the run a bit! (I missed last year with the flu - luckily, as it turned out, because there was a raging gale!)
the course is good for PB or for fun - our group has been round twice, in about 1hour15 each time and is likely to be about the same this year. The faster runners from our Club go backwards and forwards through the group and end up running about 15km!!
As for the faster runners in your club, they sound far too frisky for their own good.
i'm coming in from london with some friends, let me in on the name of a good hotel, willya?

'Fraid I don't know any hotels there - I will be a day tripper, driving in, running about and then driving away as fast as possible!
(it is me in the sea - the previous year the tide was out and we couldn't bothered to run down to the sea - so jumped in the sea-filled swimming pool thing on the beach instead!!)

Hey Mixy! I stayed there once, in the winter in one of those hotels that seem to have got stuck in a time warp, not quite up to Basil's standards but getting there!
there's a tutu with your name on it if you want to wimp out of the Monty like me..
is the war at dawn going to be for spectators too! sounds like fun?
Also wanted to ask if this is a good race for first timers? havent run a race since cross country at school about 10 years ago, and so am just trying to get back into running (and fitness in general).

I'm looking forward to WSM too, though. Even if it's a crap day for running it'll still be a laugh.
I have run this race twice - last year, and the year before.
In 2001 it was about minus 10 so my shorts clad legs were freezing & the whole thing was quite hard work - but I thought it was great (first 10k) and there were loads of people dressed up and it was flat.
Last year it was blowing a gale, which made it all good fun - especially in the last kilometre where you had to run straight towards the sea, across the soggy sand, straight into a head wind so strong you were virtually standing still!! My legs were not amused at that point.
Still great though - nice t-shirt and a mince pie at the end, and a good atmosphere! Do it.

Last year I was more sensible and wore long trousers and a t-shirt, a bit of tinsel and a santa hat.
(don't get too upset on Sunday - would go for a run at about 11-30 after the final whistle - or you may prefer to go at 10!)
