What time do you make it?????
is it 12 o'clock YET????
IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yipppeeeeeee on the vote count, Malcs wins!!!
Can we start talking about running now... ??
Its closed!!
Did you get it malcs, did you???
I think you did!
Get in Malcs......great effort by everyone involved...i made that a win by 40 votes or so. I even missed my lunch time run so I could see it live!
PC - Last year the votes weren't made public, so it wasn't evident to everyone involved.
Rest time I'm thinking for you now Malcs.
Running.... what's that?
Now its saying the winners will be revealed tomorrow.
I hope the finalists hear before that - they deserve to know immediately after all that effort!
Malcs
is now too tired to run
Malcs, don't start celebrating until you get the phone call. As we were saying when you were behind that RW has their veto or choice. Kirsty was 38 votes behind, there could be a delay in the count display which could explain everyone's nocturnal progress, also will RW delete votes which they deem suspect.
I hope you're in, you deserve it. I doubt that I would see you in Paris if you are VIP, I'll be in the cheap seats and 2 pens behind you. Good luck
I totally want to follow a Malcs thread, so if RW back out of it, could the organisers of RW forum six fix it so he wins please...
Now the waiting game, will he or won't he..............?
Ha ha
Yes, I made it round a 40 vote lead but Kirsty's counter was still going up after 12 so maybe some late ones still need to be added and we could easily have ended up level!
What a finale though!
I am destroyed. Need to get my breath back.
PC - last year was nothing like this. It was soooo much more stressful having the votes in public. But on the flip side it did provide alot of excitement!
Can't thank you all enough. The support has been overwhelming.
To everyone who voted, tweeted, retweeted, posted, poked, prodded and cajoled a massive thank you!
Whatever the final result I'm just very happy to have been a part of it. Last night I thought it was all over so to be there at the death was amazing.
If Kirsty gets the nod I hope everyone will get behind her because she really is a star.
You've all been stars! We shall indeed get right behind whoever wins
Malcs Great words, I just hope for you Marcus & Kirsty, the votes are counted soon and your fate is known.
I will never touch the metro again once this thread starts
Great campaign Malcs, do you fancy going for president next?
No Jen - this is the last public vote I'm putting myself through!
Malcs Ed Miliband is on the phone for you, it doesnt sound like he wants advice on running either.
I'm exhausted!! we are wasted in our day jobs but won't be taking this up for a living any time soon
Well done all of you, I think you have all done an amazing job and it is a shame only one can win. Whoever it is and whoever it isn't, you'll have my support and I hope we all stay in touch. And relax.... no, correction, go running!!
Can I stop shaking my pom poms?
Well done all. Whoever wins we will be right behind you. You have shown you have what it takes
Let's talk running now!
Do we all get a cwtch from you when we meet you malcs
Of course Seren!
Tim - ha ha
No chance!
Kirsty - back to my 4 day backlog, great
ArrowsLou - I agree. Fantastic that you'll be sticking around!
Reg - step away from the poms and take the tutu off, your work is done sir!
DS2 - no time for running, I have work to do!!!
Glad you were leading, hope you win - still think the system was ridiculous!
Anyhow, not sure I'm allowed to mention this, but I went for a run this morning!!! Very naughty, I know, but only 4 months until VLM now!
Well done Malcs, a fine campaign!
Glad we can get back to the running talk now voting out the way! Intervals for me done today.
Thanks A.W. Just glad it's all over now!
It was like ebay on acid.
The only running that causes is, well...not the sort you want to talk about in public!
Ha ha!
Well done AW. Hope you are going to stay on Malcs thread and keep us up to date with your progress? (assuming he gets through, of course!)
I shall indeed pop in from time to time! Will keep an eye on the thread for whoever gets through on the sub 3 group too. They're all a lot quicker over 5 and 10k than I was before I started training for Paris, they should do well.
RW phoned and I'm In!
I feel a bit like a striker scoring against his old team. I have massive respect for Kirsty, Tim and Marcus so I don't plan to do a goal celebration.
I went out at the same stage last year and I know how gutted I was then.
Given how close things have been the last couple of days it could easily have gone to anyone.
Just want to say thank you so much again to everyone for their help and support. I also want to thank Kirsty, Marcus and Tim for being terrific sports.
