Number 183
Shall we try and meet beforehand ? How about outside Apex sports opposite the baggage storage ?
Afterwards in the Stag ? It looks like we run past it after after about half a mile ?
Comments ? Alternatives ?
Target : sub 1.40

Meeting point sounds fine as does the Stag
Target 1:45-1:50
Target 2:00 - 2:05
See you there!!!
RB
What are my chances of getting a place on the day does anyone know?
Wheres you face gone Ratbag?
looking for a sub 2 (still running like a fat turkey, RB, and getting worried about this one, now....)
as for the pub option, i'd go for the CROWN as opposed to the stag - it has a large beer garden (it will be sunny won't it) and tends to appeal to a more eclectic group of drinkers. the stag is good if you like playing pool and watching big screen footy
anyway we'll pass both of them twice , so you can make your minds up then.
final thought is that the crown is closer to the car park..
So let's have a vote.
I go with Wolf (the fat turkey) for the Crown due to his local knowledge.
Next please....
Don't worry about times New Runner and no we won't have gone home. I will actually recognise three people at this race which will be a first
Hi little lamb. You still look cute. Baaaaaa
Don't know the area that well, and if the weather is anything like today its gonna be a scorcher.
DW - you shouldn't have any problems getting in on the day, 13 miles /15 miles
does it matter ? You can always run to the bar and back a few 100 times to make up the deficit......
Bar and back eh? Now you're talking!!!
Shortly after posting my last message, I actually sent an entry off (a couple of days ago) so am hopeful that I will get a number back by Sunday anyway.
You're right, 13 or 15 probably makes no odds, except I've got the first 20 of my schedule in about 3 weeks and it could be a bit of a shock to the system if I don't keep pushing the mileages up gradually!
Looking forward to meeting you all anyway.
a couple of observations -
VERY WELL shaded, so that'll help a bit.
you will enjoy pumpkin hill and abbey park lane, always good to have some gradients in there.
i feel a bit guilty for suggesting the Crown, given that i have to dash off afterwards, cos we have guests (one of whom i've press-ganged into running !!!!!), but i know that you'll enjoy that pub
Thinking about bringing Mrs JL along to support, but I don't want to leave her in the pub for 2 hours.
Jason L
she can then walk about 60 yards to the west along hawthorn lane and she will be at the point where the (unlucky) runners join the "twice round" loop, so there should be some good running action there and a chance to see you in all your glory
if you give me your fax number i could draw this for you
PS the pubs won't be open until we finish anyway :-)
we will start where it says crown lane and the coffee shop is marked by the number "16 " on the map - we will run along hawthron lane and our loop will take us up pumpkin hill and park lane, we will come back into the loop from grove raod and do it all again before returning along hawthorn lane and doing another loop dwon past the crown.
probably too much detail in here - sorry. but let me know if it helps
I'll pass the details onto Mrs JL. :-)
i am running just like the above
NR
oh shit
I can't believe that you're not going to make the pub afterwards. You blew out at FLM 2002, you can't do it again!!!
BTW have you got a URWFRC running vest or did you sell it in the end?
I'll be wearing mine.
RB
vest was sold to barkles, but lamb is getting me a new "fat turkey" sized one.
i am going to hate this sunday...having only managed about 15 miles a week for the last couple of manths and havnig not run further than 7 miles since march 15 (cranleigh 21 miler), this one will FIND ME OUT!
other than that.....have planned new forest half on sep 22, windsor half on sep 29 and henley half in early oct. are you going to any of these?
plus eyenesham 10k in nov (scene of my 10K PB many moons ago)
