got my number today

Tracey G · May 2005

Top Sec, thank you for that bit of information not as hilly as Marwell, which was my first 10K race. I Just have hope, not too hot or too muddy.

Tracey G · May 2005

Dawling Dunny, we must have finished Marwell at the same time. My time was 65mins.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Tracey - Marwell was only my 2nd race this year so am slowly but surely aiming for greater things hence enquiring about this one. I've 2 more 10k's lined up (one in the Midlands - where I'm originally from), and am entering the Selsey 10k too if theres still places for mid-June. What time do you have in mind for yourself for this one then - I was thinking 1hr45 as I did the Great South 2 years ago in 1hr55 (my first ever race before taking a break of 8-9 months from running) so I hope to improve on that at least.

Like you though, just hope its not too hot.... I'm not a warm weather runner by any means. Give me the cold winter months any day - not the darkness though!!

See you there hopefully. Have you entered and do you have your number yet?

Top Sec - thanks for the advice; I certainly will try to take it easy and to pick the pace up towards the end. This is my first 10 miler for a long time so it'll be quite a challenge for me to say the least.

Diana D - Yes I'm a member of a club; their training nights are helping as I'm throwing myself into the interval training along the beach once a week which is very tough going underfoot. I'm hopeful that the pebbles I'm running over will be a good enough workout in preparation for the trails through the New Forest?? Thanks for the weblink too.

Tracey G · May 2005

DD, I would like to do it in 1hr45 but more like between 1hr 50-55. I am a plodder after all and this will be my fourth race, not as experienced as you.

Tracey G · May 2005

DD yes I have entered and my race no. is 165.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Tracey - if you don't include my Great South attempt 2 years back, I'll only be 1 race ahead of you by the time this one comes around; we seem evenly matched timewise to be honest as I'd like to make 1hr45 as well but like you think I'll end up coming in at about 1hr50ish.

I'll let you know my race number when I get it through (assuming its not now full as I've just recently entered); we can cheer each other and our fellow plodders along as I'm sure there'll be plenty of us!

See you there all raring to go!!?? (.... just trying to convince myself now....)

Bit concerned that people are getting numbers already. I entered on-line and my entry was 'successful'. Haven't received anything yet.
Does anyone know what the junior races are like?. Trying to convince my 8 year old to have a go.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Normski et al,

I am having similar worries about all these mentions about getting numbers. I entered ages ago online. It seems awfully early to be getting numbers though!

Anyone know what's going on?

Tracey G · May 2005

I entered on line in March and got my number about 4 days ago.

Hormski, I am doing my local 5 mile race and my 9 year old daughter is doing the 2K fun run. She does not run, but after my race at Marwell, she said she would have like to have done the childrens race.

DianaD · May 2005

I received my race number this morning, so they are obviously going out in batches. Number is 453.

Tracey G · May 2005

Diana, did you get my email? I am on laptop but, cannot down load my emails. My husband is recording on pc, so will have to wait until tomorrow.

diana brighouse · May 2005

got my number this morning - 455. i entered online a while ago. revising my time now i know about the trails and the hills - think i'll be heading for the 1.50 to 1.55 too. my 1.37 was the great south last year - nice and flat and not too windy

DianaD · May 2005

Tracey, got your email, and sent you marathon training plan. Hopefully you can access it ok today.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Can't remember if I've had my number yet or not - will have to look when I get home. I've entered so many races over the summer I've lost track!

Tracey G · May 2005

Diana got your marathon training plan email. Thank you

[Deleted User] · May 2005

got my number 268

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Dawdling Dunny - did you do the Sutton Park Cure Leukaemia 10k today (22nd May)? You said you were doing a Midland run, so we might have crossed paths/gasping breaths at this one?

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Got my number - 99. Should I read anyhting into that, like I'm providing the ice-creams at the finish?!

DianaD · May 2005

Sounds a good plan Vroomfondel - we'll probably all be ready for one!

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I'm in on this one, entered last week but no number yet, is it time for a list ?

Keep updating peeps!

Dips · May 2005

Got my number a few weeks ago, almost by return post. Couldn't tell you what the number is though.

VF...better than 69!!

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Getting a bit concerned that I haven't got my number yet, given that there have been people reporting here for over two weeks that they have theirs. Plenty of time yet, but worrying all the same. I emailed the organisers about it but am awaiting a reply.

Assuming I do get my number and have not been lost in a black hole, I will be aiming for around 1:15 - if I can stick to my training plan.

This compares with over 1:20 for the Hook 10 last weekend, but that was off the back of a very low quality final two weeks of training, so the vast improvement shouldn't be too out of the question (he said, trying to sound convinced!). I am currently being even more ambitious for the Great South Run in October, but I'll review my target for that when I have done this one...

Vroomfondel

No, my Midlands run isn't until June 5th - Sinfin Classic 10k, at Elvaston Country Park in Derbyshire. I was watching my brother and Dad grasstrack racing in Shropshire yesterday so had a weekend off from running/racing myself.

Hope you had a good race yourself though!?

Howdy, Stranger!
