I reckon we've got:
Melvin Maninang
Twink + 2
Snilmot
autolycus
sophie
Janine Atkinson
Lisa C
Fiona Schofield
any others, any no-shows?
Just got my number through:
447, I'll be wearing white Hope for Children T-shirt, about 5'11", cropped hair, half a beard (the middle half!), very undertrained for it
Did anyone else register as an unaffiliated team member of the URWFRC?
Can anyone that's been before suggest a point we might meet at to say hello, say 10.10 - 10.15?

There doesn't seem to be much information on their website.
Any idea ?
Blenheim's a beautiful place, really wish I could make it. Have fun eveyone.
Sorry Nick, I looked out for you but didn't spot you, hope your race went well.
Finished in 51:09 according to the clock on the car, not sure what time they'll record because there was a bottle neck at the end (and the start!) & the webpage on the instructions is unkown at the moment. That's 15 secs outside my PB (my 3rd 10k) but it didn't feel that fast.
Charles, we really found the bit to the 'turn around' an absolute killer, more due to the psychological effect of knowing what we still had to do.
Anyway, well done everyone and I hope you're all warmed through now.
41:45! explains why I never saw you, unless you were one of those blurs coming to the finish as I ran off to the turn. How does that compare with your PB?
Despite what it says on the information sheet, I suspect the results will finish up at:

previous years are.
Looking back there were 246 runners in 2000 & 416 in 2002, I suspect there were even more this year which put a bit of pressure on the organisation I think
Neenie - I collapsed into the back of a guy from Bearbrook Joggers at the end (the queue took me a bit by surprise but it was doubly embarrassing because I crashed into his running partner at the start - you know the bit when we all take one pace looking down at our watches and don't realise everyone's stopped, might explain why I usually run alone!) then was chatting to my wife and daughters on the righthand side as we waited for the man with the microphone linked to the PC to say our numbers
Got round Blenheim in just under 52 mins. Too busy admiring the scenery, well that's my excuse.
Just sent off my application for the Eynsham 10k. That's a flat 3 lap course with NO HILLS! Managed my PB there a few years ago before the old war wound flared up again.

disappointed to see that my official time is 52:44 (the guy in front of me in the queue stopped his watch at 50:39 & the clock on the car said 51:09 when I stopped)
- position 370th (just outside the top half of 687! finishers)
373 - J Atkinson 52:51
393 - D Martin 53:44
396 - T McGuire-Brow 53:50
397 - K Hodgson 53:51
400 - M Jessey 53:58
437 - B Graham 55:00
Yes that was me in the glasses - particularly recognise the children talking loudly description :-) they aren't shy retiring types my kids (can't imagine where they get it from!).
We all seem to be clocked about 2 minutes slower than we thought - like you I'm claiming 51:09.
Next time we'll have to make sure we all meet up ahead of the race
Nick
