i wonder
is it hilly?
maybe ill email the organisers and se how strict the cut off is
im also woried about geting lost
limit of 50?
eeeek
the usual ultra crew
humph
one of the usual crew!
are you doing it/
I will thik about it
Going out in a bit though, for an hour or so. Need to explore my new surroundings, all very rural. Can't run at night as there are no lights or pavements.............
Basically I am going to have a structured approach to the long weekly run pushing it out to 20 miles or so. Thereafter I am going to try and do 2 x 15 milers in one day on at least three occasions before the event.
i had to go to the hozzie
Draycote Water should prove to be an excellent venue for an ultramarathon; admittedly it's not a pancake, but it will be the flattest 35 miler in the UK next year - it's certainly the flattest course that I've encounter over this distance short of doing a track based Ultra - hence, classification Flat.
The cut-off of 7 hours is for a couple of reasons; i) to allow all runners to complete the course in daylight hours for safety reasons- the race is being run in the winter, ii) we have to fit in with the opening hours of the Country Park. So the allocated cut-off should allow all runners (even those who choose to use a run/walk approach) to complete the course within the 7 hours.
Aside from that I will be assisted in the race organisation by members from my running club based in Kenilworth, who have been competing in Ultras over the last few years. Therefore, the race will be organised in a way which caters for runners of all capabilities, be it fast or slow, with or without crew - there'll be plenty of support.
Hope this helps, any more queries just shout! Rob.
but im not sure i could make the cut off
i've done 25 round draycote & was glad to get the last lap overwith...
there's a nice climb by the clubhouse bit and some undulaty things round the back... other than that flatter than a <insert witty comment here>.
sadly i'm already lining up an event that weekend, shame its so early in the year as i'm not sure my mileage will be up to that level by then....
i'll bear it in mind anyways
