and as for what we look like >
if we decide upon a pub maybe we can stick a copy of RW on the table or something, and in race gear people wear green ribbons to signify they are forumites
me too Michael, sat here with a glass of white wine!
not got my pack either Stoxy :O(
and ouchy for blisters
Mark - you're going well there, Leeds was my first last year, it took me 2hrs for 10 miles and 3hrs for 14 in training but I did 2:21. The week before I did 3 short steady runs, ate lots of pasta and stayed off the booze! as the others say, don't get dragged off too quick with the crowds at the start and remember to enjoy it! and meet us in the pub after......
Birkinshaw - is there any way I can get hold of one of these?
This will be my second half and hopefully I can get a bit nearer to my training run time - planning on zig-zagging a lot more this time rather than running along with people and losing a lot of time.
my pack arrived today!
<stomps feet>
Lee Smythe, I've checked on our system and we haven't received your entry under that spelling of your name. Please give our entries team a call (0113 3950001)and they will double check for you.
Last year I had to pull out with an injury. I rang to see if I should send my number back so they could re-allocate it and there was just no leeway at all. How many numbers are wasted because of this? People actually want to take part so why not use the numbers of those who cant for whatever reason? Its hardly the way to encourage sport and events like this in the region.
Sorry to be a thread party pooper but it annoys me.
On a separate note are there any RW pacers running?
Hi Rebecca. See you there. We will be arranging a meeting point at some point I assume!!
I dont think there are any pacers Denis though I may be proved wrong!!
Looked at the chip and thought "How exactly am I going to get that little strap around my ankle?", but on reading the envelope, it's for your shoe laces.
Now to figure out where to park and how early to get there. Probably will be leaving at 6am or thereabouts from Grimsby and should arrive in under 2 hours depending on traffic, roadworks and how much the speed limit may get slightly fractured by
New to this forum although been following your progress . . . only just figured out how to reply to a thread! durrr!
Leeds is going to be my first half. I have no PB to go on, so as long as I don't crawl in last i'm in it for the fun! Good luck to you all!
Russ,come on! have you not been listening to Birknshaw? No late entries,no number transfers,you're knackered mate!
First half mara for me since 1985.
Then doing Sheffield the week after.
You wait 22 years then 2 come along at once!
Thanks in advance.
The uphill bits appear to be early/mid race with a long flat finish on the ring road.
Good luck all
Re pub. I have actually been invited to a party with free beer and food at 12.30pm across the road from the finish!!!!! Now thats lucky!!!
Anyway I am going to enquire whther the pub is also open to the general public and you can all join me!
