Am thinking about camping the night before at the finish so I can get the bus to the start and not have to get up too early.
hope all you marathoners are tapering hard now!
Annabelle, I have been busy with the Norwich Union City v City event this week and haven't had a chance to see the Edinburgh results - how did it go? I saw Sharon win the Canterbury Half so I know she is going OK.
Very tempting to camp there but I think its going to get a bit too much for our team driver! Have found a campsite in arundel if anyone else is looking for one.
got our numbers today
do we have to return the chip like FLM? and other big races or is it a throw away one??
I was reasonably pleased with 3:02. There was a strong headwind along the coast from 9 to 17 miles, but the main problem was my lack of training.
Anyone know how long it would take to get to the race from Bedford/Luton area?
Plodding Hippo , what do you mean " yer physog? "
Its a Yorkshire expression meaning"your face"
this is my next marathon isnt it
(gawd, i am slipping)
Nice weather here in South Downs area folks. Hope it lasts.
oh yeah, i suppose so
edinburgh seems aeons away now, though twas only 6 days ago
and-its only 3 weeks since my 50 miler i suppose
Going to do 20-ish tomorrow and then taper a bit. Race pack has arrived.
id say that was excellent SD trainign!!
Taff Boy, which ultra are you doing? I'm not tapering either and did 17.5 and 21 this weekend ahead of the Kent 50 mile Challenge (along with Hippo). It feels strange not to taper before a marathon!
It was hot up on the Downs today folks. Sizzling.
I'm not tapering at all. Possibly because I'm not training either!! Whoops.
aha me too
Our team number is 40 - I'm sure we'll get overtaken fairly early on by all you speedy marathon types!
wossat then
I did put a message into the race file for you to get number 50 - sorry that didn't happen. It will have been because the numbers are run into the name database off RW entry system so it probably got overlooked since it wasn't done from the files.
Actually I'll just be dawdling along at the back, doing an occasional hop and a skip and hoping to finish before bedtime.
I've just been for a walk on the Downs and it is most definitely UPs not DOWNs!!!
Mike, I may forgive you eventually but for now I shall have to <FLOUNCE> ;-)))
Redhead- meant to be doing the Lyke Wake 42 miler , second week of July. Had been training really well gunning for around 3.15 at Paris and got injured. Out for 6 1/2 weks and I am struggling badly , so ultra in doubt. Did manage a 1/2 marathon within a couple of weeks of coming back, with a marathon the next weekend ( which was White Peaks , two weeks ago). Shall review how I feel after this one, which I am trying to use as a slow long distance training run.
I did see that there was mention of a bar-b-que and camping the night before this one. I will have to stay over given the time the bus leaves. Anyone got any details as I fancy a bit of camping?
