ImRio

Oooh Oats be good to see you there.
RD where are you?

RunRuthRun

Hi, I'm fairly new to this racing business, been running on my ownsome for years tho, any idea of what the winning time was last year? ahem, and what was the time of the last person across the line? it's my eternal nightmare to be that person, gulp..

ImRio

How long does it take you to do a 10k Ruth. there were plenty over the hour last year

Hi Rio, my times for the 10k have always seemed to be exactly the same, 46mins, very odd! Reassuring to know I won't be the last then, thank you!

Seela

Ruth: we plan to be a long way behind you!

RunRuthRun

Hmm, don't count on it! Looking forward to it now, see you all there, thanks for your help ; )

Hi JW, yes no problem as long as they are not too bulky. I have to work out how I am getting everything to Mudchute as it is. We are staying in a hotel on Saturday night and I am pretty sure that we will be going by train.

What have you got?

Ruth, I'll be at least 10 minutes and probably quite a bit more behind you. If you haven't raced much before you may be surprised how much faster you go with the adrenaline too!

ImRio

Ah if only I could run a 46 min 10k!!

RunRuthRun

It all depends on my shoes, just bought a pair of Asics 2120 but they're just a bit too big, which means watch out for randomly flying shoes tootling through the air in all directions (I can take no responsibility for any injuries/decapitations that result from my unruly shoes) ; )

M..o.use

Have made an executive decision not to come along. Have a super time everyone.

No list yet??

RD

ImRio

Cant remember my number
34 I think

[Deleted User]

Yes, it's be nice to run this in 46 minutes or less, wouldn't it!!

Ruth . . presumably there will be a maximum of 2 randomly flying shoes tootling through the air in all directions * during the race?

* terms and conditions apply

Hope the weather's going to be similar to today . . I might even bring my camera, who knows!!

Sorry we won't be seeing you, Ms Mouse . .

RD, the list was on page 1 but then we were all too lazy to bother with it . .

Be good to see you again RD
New pb in the offing?

Moe

Jools, they have loads of Brissle entries, there must be someone lurking who could get you there! c'mon guys!

Moe

good luck all of you, oh and I do hear rumour (only rumour mind!), that they might have 'nice' cakes on sale as well as the usual fare! keep it under you're hat mind, I didn't tell you!

[Deleted User]

JW no problem.

Moe, I am coming from the Bristol area, but I will have a car full of family with me (for a change).

That is if I can shake off the lurgy that's trying to take hold. Gar! It all feels in the head at the moment, sore throat and blocked nose. I am not looking at a good time here, but still planning on taking part.

...And if there are cakes...

Joolska

Trains are a secondary consideration (but thanks for trying on my behalf, Moe) - I've had to rest up for 5 days with a bad cold and really need to look after myself for FLM. Tomorrow is a very careful long-ish run and doing another 'hard' session (i.e. race) the day after is now asking for trouble.

Hope you all have good races!

P Q

Hmm I'm sort of tempted by the goodies at the end ;-)
Anyone know how long it would take to drive from Cardiff?

ploddyone

Think I'll probably enter on the day - hope they aren't full when I get there!

ploddyone

I shall be so disappointed if all the eggs have gone when I finish. Martin - please save one for me else I won't do the 5k on Wednesday!!!!

Cakes sound nice, except I can't eat them! I'll just have to eat even more (gluten free) stuff like chocolate!

See you there RD etc.

Seela

partyqueen its 101 miles (according to the AA) and should take you just under 2 hours, if you don't meet any grokles.

Daughter did the Poole ladies 5k last Tuesday and clocked a time of 30:07, so we are hoping for about 70 minutes.

See you tomorrow,
MF

Fantatstico time for me, perfect conditions apart from the start. Got tripped by someone that couldn't wait to overtake (in a 10K race ffs!!)

(ahem)....38.55, new pb and v chuffed!!

Seela

Well done DB9, didn't see you for dust! Glad you are fully recovered from your accident.

Daughter (in her debut 10k) and I ran togther. She had set a target of 80:00 and was really pleased to do 66:54.

Excellent bundle of goodies at the finish, easter egg and T-shirt

[Deleted User]

Hi DB9, fabbo new pb there - excellent news. That's a huge chunk off a 10k time that fast!

That's great news for your daughter Mak's Friend - brilliant time for a debut 10k.

What a lovely race, brilliantly organised and great goodies. I really appreciated the weather too - but my supporters did not. At least there was somewhere warm and inviting for them to wait.

JW - I am so sorry I was halfway back to Bristol before I remembered the jelly beans - my brain must be made of a similar jelly stuff. Do you work in town? Maybe I could pick them up sometime. Otherwise you will have to drop them at the RW stand at the Expo.

<<shameless copy of DB9's understated style>> (ahem)...55.28 (unofficial), 55.40(probably official - always takes me 10-12 secs to cross the start), new pb and v chuffed too.
