Tinks - for most of us, this wont be fast. More like plodding around and trying not to get pushed into puddles by your 'mates' followed by a liquid lunch.
lol Gavo. Just took a look at the race photos from last year, and everyone seems to be laughing running through the puddle, which has to be a good thing!
Oh yes gavo, surely thats the whole reason for doing it, the deep joy that is had from accidently tripping up your pals and seeing them fall face first into wet, sloppy mud must be enormous....or is that just me?
I think someone's trying to tell me something. I'm sure that I could get lost on the way (as anyone who has ever had me as a passenger will agree) and only find the place after the race.
Tinks maybe you should join in, i've never done this and am only doing it for what should be the hilarity of crawling through mud, wading into cold december water for 8 miles.....er...er...oh shit!
Anyone worried about getting lost during the race. I'm fairly sure when I did the Grim 2 years ago there were corpses lurking in the depths of the mud pools from the previous year.

Frankysab. That was no corpse, that was me taking on water :-).
It is a great fun event, and I ran the last 2 years in footy boots so no need to buy mega exoense off road shoes. (The sponsors will probably ban me now!!)
Tara has been trying to talk me into this and I am quite tempted so have been trying to talk work mates into it as well....how long do you reckon before entry closes? Seems like the numbers are quite high already...

Concern over shoes for this one. Can't be bothered to buy special water shoes esp. as have weird shaped feet and always blister issues at the beginning.

Or is that just me?
Now, if I can just edit out my last post by making it sound like an option that elite athletes like myself won't be taking.

Was waiting on team mates to sign up but one has already completed his application online without us so I guess we'll all be running as individuals!
