Howdy - I've been and registered and all that, may the mega-wibble now commence.
One question I had answered by the events team, is that if you're runnning when it gets dark *they* will be giving out head torches for us, so we don't need to worry about packing them.
Also, they've slightly changed the run route so that you come and loop past the mini grandstand and finish line each lap
Clearly, this is a public open forum, if you don't want to be embarrassed, don't wear bright yellow lycra and declare war on the East India Company.
Half

red stripe -1151
just chucking mine in. I am gonna take my water bottles full. I've packed loads of gear. Just In case! I'm not far from Henley and the rain wasn't too bad. And we haven't had any since lunchtime and not due any now.
good luck everyone.
I'm all mixed up about the logistics so my plan is to head to Phyllis court first tomorrow.
Just been for a gentle ride round henley - no wonder they all drive 4x4's - am thinking of changing bike for mountain bike so many pot holes and bumpy bits !
Rafi - might be worth registering to get the wristband which will give you access to transition area and the food tent ? Are you coming over tomorrow ? I've got some glow sticks left over from outlaw that I'd like to offload to you if poss
See you all tomorrow, im going to chance if I can get onto the campsite at 10.30a, if I can ill pitch my tent and make my way to registration, otherwise ill go straight there.
I'll be wearing my Black and Yellow Pirate ExtravaLanza t-shirt, if you don't know me already, please come and say hello.
sorry i can't be there to race (i did outlaw instead) or ssupport (the missus decided to dent a car with her glutes and so isn't doing the half anymore.

I'm 1151 in the half.
Kit laid out on bed just keep checking everything there before I pack it up.
anyone know if there is water to fill bike bottles in T1 ? Or do we have to take filled up.
Suggest take it filled, that way you're covered.
Various people have said they are crapping it. Clearly I am too. I must have lost a stone today. Anti-crapping it tablets now fitted into bike basket.
race well and be safe everyone.

Registers and now sat in pasta party.
If anyone wants to camp near me then i'm In field 1 on the fence opposite the entrance blue tent and silver avensis.

Road closures at Marlow tomorrow.
Sounds a bit dodgy ST! Pampas grass out the front?
Was a decision ever made on a meeting time?? What's the goodie bag like - is it worth registering
Or worth registering twice for as I appear to have 2 numbers?
Good luck all, race well and with a smile
Good luck all... Don't be shit!
