I may well be there
At least i know the pain i'll be letting myself in for this time.
Hosie, nuts is putting it very mildly.
Did mention to Dr Rob he might not want to put too many 'surprises' in this year.. Still haven't forgiven him for last years!
he he he
As Dr Rob said "twice the distance of KC, four times the pain".
Where's the sense in that?? Still, there'd be no point doing it if it was easy... never been one to avoid a challenge. I'll be signing up soon.
On a plus point, nothing in a race scares me now. If you can deal with the Midsummer Munro you can pretty much deal with anything!
Come on Too Much Water - fun, friendly and scenic what more do you want?
Does anyone know if there are any places left?
PM
But it's great fun and very rewarding to finish - you'll love it!
I've done the 3 Forts 1/2 in Sussex and they call that "the tough one"! I love running beuatiful trails - nothing like it- and this one's not so far from me.
On a quite serious note is it advisable to do something as tough as this 8 weeks after a marathon (considering two of those weeks will be pretty much total rest?
Obviously we can throw times out the window so not worried about that.
GK
You'll have no probs with recovery from the marathon in time to run this. I did both last year, no worries. And the trails are some of the best I've ran on :-)
PM - the first time my mates and I did this race we couldn't walk up or down stairs for about a week after. Come to think of it, we were like it last year too. Its a beast, but so fabulous you can't help but come back year after year.
Goes to check out link & diary...
I'm not much into football but throwing a sickie on an England W/C game would be far too suspicious me thinks
[insert some random profanity here/]
If they finish 2nd in the group stage they will be playing at 17:00 on the 24th.
If they win the group they will play on the Sunday. On recent form I'm worried.

(I have realised that my body is aging quicker than my ego. I must stop myself from doing these stupid things that I could have done 20 years ago but now feel decidedly old trying!)
... it would be interesting to see how this race feels when I'm not at the tail end of a dose of viral meningitis. Not much better, I suspect.
anyone know if the start times are staggered like the KC??
Feeling like superwoman this week - must be the taper - will surely regret this one in the cold light of day!
Well worth going if you ain't been to Boxhill before, lets you know what you really signed up for.
Was meant to do this last year, but tore my lateral ligament in my ankle the night before on a easy run in prep for the munro.....
Am hoping to go to the practice run.
You will be fine sparks, apparently core strength is good for careful descents - helps with balance and avoiding injury. When I finished the 3 forts half in south downs it was the downhills that were scary ... and I normally revel in them.
Look forward to the practice run.
GK
If it is as tough as the comments say then I will be looking at getting the wooden spoon!!!!
