Oh by the way, sny recommendations for hotels or B&Bs within driving distance? We're coming from London for a long weekend driving in Wales, but I don't want to drive too far on the day, in case we get lost!
PS - What am I wearing? Probably non-descript blue shorts and a white tank top, but you'll recognize me as the sweaty American at the end - HA
Amy Swansea would be a good place to stay. There is a travel lodge on one of the m4 junctions. so race day you just turn left out of the hotel and go straight up the M4.
for us newbies, a change of circuit means very little.....but hills ...now that's a different matter all together...did any of you do the swansea 5k on tuesday? if so how did you do? our team will probably be running in our personalised race4life t/shirts as a thankyou to all the companies that sponsored us....depending on heat ...on the day.
looking forward to the 10k although i'll be lucky if we break the 60mins..
Few of us done the 5k. Hot weather! I have not run this course myself but i belive we are talking rises in the gorund not hills as in change down gear in car hills.
Spoke to the organiser on Friday and they have had a bit of a delay in getting th entry packs together.
They were being done this weekend to be posted out today/tomorrow morning.
Should have all of the stuff through by mid week ready for the run on sunday.
First proper one of the year for me so loooking for a sub 45 myself, but plan to be camping up there on Saturday night along with a nice large bottle of home made sangria, so not sure if i will be in any fit state to run at all on sunday :-) (As you can tell i am taking this runnign lark so seriously)
WP Leave you cos I'm feeling good ??? I've run 3 times since FLM !!!!And because the biggest race of my cycle season is next Thursday, apart from 4 miles tomorrow morning, I will not be doing any runs this week !!
Meeting up? given somewhere at the start would seem to be a good idea! Boffin Jnrs are doing the fun runs, so we will be at the finish line for them - might be a little early for a meet up?
Help! when should be my last run before this event? I've already started eating like a pig........just for that food energy factor 'malarkey'..........Never done this event, but will be seen doing many a back flip if 45-50min is achieved. No.245 ... straight off to casualty!

...maybe Poppy will get her hills after all, or just maybe there will be none this year?
Looking forward to this!
