..and you have the most supporters of all, this whole forum.
Rob has already had a few entries, so I think the race limit will fill quickly, particularly when the RRC directory goes out at Xmas (God willing, and I'm not religious).
...and you could pull out at 30 miles, you would still have done over marathon distance, which is what you are aiming for, though I know you're a finisher.
...and if you enter now it will give you a target to get the training in, and if you really don't think you can do it by Feb, you can always let Rob know and he can give the place to somebody else.
...and it's going to be the ultra closest to where you live, I'll drive you home after if necessary.
Come on Tim, back me up on this one.
but it means continuous 5mph
havent as yet done that even in a half
and there will be NO slow peeps in this if the entry limit is 50
ill think about it
now, its mid november
Youall know my "credentials"
Do you really think i can get there in time
You're not in FLM are you? so it won't interfere with preparation for that.
You've done 40 miles.
Being completely honest I think you'd manage 7 1/2 hours, people will be there for you.
Its up to you.
No pressure!!!
Oh and Rob C, a marathon is a stroll in the park isn't it? I just want to do one a bit more quickly than has been my norm recently.
ill have had the previous two weekend off on hols---------
ok then
lets think about a training prog
And will you tell hubby please
he doesnt approve of marathons as it is
He's bigger than me!!
and where are you taking shelley for her birthday?
dont even THINK about this
you can advise on my trainin plan if you like
eh
You're doing ok at the moment.
they dont do stuff like that do they
not when theres 50 elite ultra runners doing this
not for a 35 miler in----------11 weeks or whatever it is
The Doncaster Doddle did it the other way round-send the faster guys off later.
well, it seems like a workable idea, what do you think? They sound liek they're trying to cater for everyone.
if he thinks its ok, then im in
maybe i need to push myself
every marathon is a challenge, in fact every race is
but this is unknown territory
Sorry Rob, hadn't thought of that. I suppose it depends on the course. Hope its ok.
As you may have seen I'm a little unsure whether I'm coming down or not as now my dear wife is under the impression for some reason (gritted teeth) that I'm taking her somewhere for her birthday!!!
No chance.
Youth Hostel somewhere maybe.
Hey I know, maybe there's one near the race.
