Just seen the website on this madness...didn't realise care in the community was this widespread...oh well,if u can't beat em!....keep asking myself why but the answer is always honey on toast?!help!
spikes no, studs could be useful. a pair of caterpillar tracks off a tank would be even better !! Hope december isn't too clement for this run, I rather enjoyed breaking the ice before I plunged knee, hip, waist deep last time.
JFB, this year spikes certainly wouldn't have been needed. Apart from the puddles, which are far too deep to need spikes, the rest was fairly hard dirt. Off-road trainers were perfect.
I was told by the salesman in Runner's Need that spikes weren't allowed in Grim, but I don't know where he got that from.
Hi All Just thought i'd tell you i've been reading this forum and think you are all mental.
Should fit right in here then.See ya there 38yo 17 Stone not done any running for about 6 months Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha where's the straight jacket.
So - do I use this an excuse go and buy a new pair of off-road shoes for this event or do I wear the tattiest pair that I own and am likley to throw away anyway?
Hello Slippery - sorry I didn't get much chance to chat to you at the social last week. You doing the Ballbuster this year? if you are I'll see you there :-)
Not sure I'll be able to defend my KC title without the benefit of a weeks solid training in the sunshine but will make sure I've got my lucky socks on :-)
I've just passed my 25m swimming badge - should be useful for the GRIM!
Dangerous things lists- you never know what you are getting yourself in for. I usually try to stay away, but the thought of getting all wet and muddy gets me all tingly!
I've done it at last. I finally got round to entering for this online last night. I know I've been on the list for ages but I kept forgetting to actually enter for it.

Personally, I don't think they'll make a lot of difference, but I can't say I have ever tried it.
I was told by the salesman in Runner's Need that spikes weren't allowed in Grim, but I don't know where he got that from.
Anyone want a number ????
Ratcatcher, remind me, is your piccie from last year's Grim?
¦oD

38yo 17 Stone not done any running for about 6 months Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha where's the straight jacket.
Shortly before being pulled out of a puddle by Angelis because I was in over my waist and sinking fast...
It does sound like it's going to be fun.
Suppose I'll have to do it again!
You doing the Ballbuster this year? if you are I'll see you there :-)

In a running sense obviously! <ahem>
