Apparently it's bloody freezing.
and there is a nasty cold wind.
i am hoping to pop down later tonight to watch/cheer and it just occured to me that i don't know where it is.
i was assuming it was in tooting at the athletics track near tooting lido?
The leader was on 66 miles at 11 hours
Ian- 57
Tim- 51

Paul intended to run until 1 am then head on home. Anything can happen though in the wierd world of 24 hour track racing.
will be interesting to hear the latest... but i'll be out racing myself until they finish.
is Paul ok, why is he finishing early
anyhow after my initial warm up of 30 miles i took up the pace and put the fear of god into the lead runners as i was putting in my 1:50 laps. was always aiming for 60 ( think i did 58miles) as a last training run before my easy weeks before heading off to the himalayas in 2 weeks time and didn't want to risk any silly injuries, felt strong at the end and was chatting to ian trying to keep his spirits up, he started off really well but had problems with his feet so was reduced to walking when i left him, even so he was well in the 70 miles at 13 hours, so could still hit the 100 if he carried on, timmy as ever was churning out the miles and after a brief rest had hit the track again, he had reduced his estimate mileage even after setting off steadier than he normally does but still is confident of hitting 100, 2 guys were neck and neck for the leader churning out 6mph as i left for 13 hours, should be a cracking finish and mileage if anyone in the area, great organisation and a very friendly bunch of guys, going for a few hours kip now then may do a few miles this evening to stretch the old legs, keep on chugging friends!!
any more news
I DEMAND REPORTS!
Yes, I think the cold wind was the main problem and otherwise the conditions were good, ie dry!
