    Surely we should also add our forum names?

    1277 tinsel/bauble belt & (poss) santa hat
    70 Minuntes - Turkey on head
    FFF - Just timsel (going for a pb!)

    I bagged a Santa suit for three quid on the weekend. V classy and highly flammable. I expect to spontaneously combust somewhere around the 5k marker.

    I hope to see you on SUNDAY - not Saturday!! Shall look out for the piglet t-shirt though.
  • Options
    you are right, sunday it is....Ill be wearing a blue fleece over the piglet t shirt with australia written on it.
  • Options
    see you then - you're just trying to worry me that I've booked the minibus for the wrong day!
  • Options
    no, Im just so nervous I would probably show up there on saturday!! ill be there on sunday with bells on...no, scratch that, with tinsel on...
  • Options
    no need to be nervous - worst comes to worst, you can always trot round with the Yeovil mob that I'll be with (we're the ones in the tutus!)
  • Options
    Excellent, Ill look out for you guys, my little trotters following you..

    you sure talk a lot, piglet

    hello JPVD,

    I thought that was the point of the chatroom! Im already nervous, I hope you were joking...:o)
  • Options
    hey, dont get your trotters in a knot!
    don't know about you, but Jean Plod is looking forward to a wonderful weekend in sunny WSM at some past-its-use-by-date B n B and a post-race party to beat all post-race-parties!

    oooh, I cant wait for the party..whats that all about? Maybe ill stay for that..

    you reckon?!!

    only thing guaranteed is the chance to run into the sea with me!!
  • Options
    Anyway, its a sunday night and I work the next day. Although, a very wise friend once said, you will always remember the night you partied, never the next day...so c'mon Mixy, lets party with JPVD!!
  • Options
    my attendance will depend on the others in the bus, I'm afraid!
  • Options
    the party sounds like it might be worth sticking around for!!!

    Just a silly question though, how do people generally carry supplies around with them, as I reckon that one drink station at around 5k isnt going to be enough to keep me going, and as it is my first race, i reckon i'll probably need some kind of energy replacement drink or bar. Where am i going to put everything!!! I've heard people talking of jelly babies too!!!
  • Options
    Hi Petsay
    You could buy a 'fist bottle' which is very easy to hold while you're running, costs around £2.50 for a medium size one from running shops/sweatshop etc. You won't need jelly babies for the 10K so long as you have a good breakfast about 2 hours before the race. If you are worried about running out of energy you could have a banana about 1/2 hour before the start too....you'll be fine...and there's a mince pie waiting for us at the end!
    I'll see you Sunday in my santa suit...ho ho ho

    one water stop is usually fine for a 10km unless it's hot, and I don't think we shall have that problem on Sunday.

    I tend to stick to mental imaging to keep me going - I imagine a full pint of lager sitting on a bar at the finish!

    I'm still trying to imagine what 70 minutes is going to look like with a turkey on his head - surely you can arrested for that?!!
