given the very low numbers i don't suppose they normally have many team entries.
but i think id rather not be in a team if its all the same to you
Think I'm probably not a team contender either, as no way will I be getting any points as a quick finisher ... I'll probably get the booby prize points
certainly didn't mean to offend. i wouldn't pressure anyone into doing anything.
i'd really like to do this race and i don't mind one way or the other about teams.
are you not doing the moonwalk then
i think teams are great idea for those who like them
I am looking forward to reliving my youth
Hey M. way to go ... I wont have done a mara by then, so it'll be a case of out of the frying pan and into the raging furnace - should have done a half by then tho
The moonwalk, er yep, I hope to, not registered or anything tho
Forgot about that one, I am doing a 25 mile walk tho in Feb
as for reliving my youth!!! 12 years ago but feels like another lifetime. i was a venture scout. living with my parents and just about to do my a-levels. in fact when it got a bit difficult i can remember going over maths and physics equations in my head to take my mind off the fact that my legs were hurting! and i had new hiking boots - bought especially for the lyke wake walk.
yeah I know, but thats a walk marathon, not a run one ... hence I wont be quick at 42 miles, but wont give in untill I cross the line either!
it was too long ago
I guess I'd better get some proper walking boots for this .. I have been walking in running shoes, up untill now
but im sure someone will be along shortly
i just want to aim to be inside the 12 hour cut off.
I just want to complete it, doing no running whatsoever, so no way I'll be inside 7 hours ... N.Yorks is lovely tho
another excuse to stay wiv my family for a day or so prior to this ... in N.Yorks
Blimey, thats serious, 41 miles in 6 hours, you'll be home and having a cup of tea by the time I finish, Tim
osmotherley to ravenscar is the uphill way - hence the 6hr course record. when they used to run it the other way the record was something ridiculous like 4 and 1/2!
M., have you any idea what town this is close to .. I come from N.Yorks (living in the South now) and have no idea where this is
(can i beg and plead for some training advie for a new to ultras very slow tiger as well)
Can you post the advice Tim, I've never done a mara or an ultra ... please ?
Mind you, trail routes won't be as accurately measured I guess.
That's seriously fast. I prefer to take it easy and enjoy the course. Especially if I don't know the route-I have a tendancy to go off course!!
