Thanks to all who've entered and good luck.
Thanks also to those who've also entered and we're sadly going to have to return your entries.
The Online Entry seems to be very popular as we've increased the Nos. from 500 to 800 this year - who says we're becoming a nation of Couch Potatoes.
The last set of Nos. will be allocated and sent first thing tomorrow.
Mitten - 767 is an aeroplane so assume you will be flying in this race.
Richard - assume you won't be flying as usual :-)
Leadfoot - Parking is OK but often you have to park in the streets nearby once the HQ parking is full. Note the start is some minutes away and at 9:30 so you will need to leave enough time to get from your parking to the start/finish. It appears there is some parking right next to the new start/finish but only for about 50 cars so that will doubtless fill up. However a lot of runners coming out of town will likely come by train so we'll see.
I start my new job the day after this so must save a little bit for that.
Soooooo many things to do during the day whilst not working. I don't know how I found the time before!!!
Likewise if you're cheque's cashed AJH - you should have received your no. by no.
Unfortunately some late entries despite being before the closing date we're having to return. This is for the benefit of everyone.
Any queries - can you address to

I can quickly answer any questions.
So we will be doing this race, won't be much of a arce for me mind you as I have a very tough 7.5 xtcry race the day before!
Need the miles though!
Had a lovely last long run on Sunday, around 8 miles some of it along the river at Hammersmith. Not too cold or windy and lots of sunshine. Got to see a pair of pied wagtails, a cormorant (I think) and a fox peeing on a lamp post! Who says there’s no wildlife in cities?
I finally got my heart rate monitor on Sunday so I may try a treadmill test this week to work out my max. heart rate. I know I should really be tapering but I’m just too impatient.
Have a good week everyone!
6 days to go :-)
Must admit I am taking the car (from Luton) so if you do take the train and want a lift up to Luton, post here and we'll arrange something.
Circuits tonight, running Wednesday, Friday & Saturday am so should be fine for Sunday.
Came out as 187 so a bit higher than I thought.
Sweaty ginger kitten!
:-)
Had to stop looking at my heart rate about halfway through the race as it was already over 185bpm and I knew it was hardly likely to go *down*! just goes to show what your body's capable of when you push it :-)
Been for tests to check it out because I often shake (hands & arms) but doesn't seem to be anything abnormal!!!
Tara, once on a run my HR went up to 220 and straight down to 0. Can only take that as the highest reading my HRM would give was 220 and my HR had gone beyond that. At the time I felt fine and was breathing through my nose. Or my HRM had malfunctioned!!
My hands did feel a bit odd last night, sort of numb towards the end but I think that might be due to lactate build up?
4 days to go!
