Hi Bob - it has been quite enlightening seeing the different shapes and sizes of sae's that have come my way. Some are so large I could fit the kitchen sink in and for at least one I have had to fold the number in half. Hope you enjoy it anyway.
Can I check that entries are available on the day? Not convinced Royal Mail will deliver my entry by the closing date otherwise. I did a race entitled Tough Ten recently although this sounds an altogether 'Tougher' 15.
I was looking to get trail shoes, as I don't fancy running 15 miles in my studs with no cushioning, but on current conditions I may just go with my road shoes.
Will be trying for a reasonable time (for me) in the Orion 15, doing the A20 Pathway the next day as a lsr ....... some loose talk at my club persuaded me that it was a good idea to do both, I am not totally convinced, but find it difficult to resist a challenge..... I am hoping for rain, rain and more rain
All numbers sent out. Some entries arrived yesterday and they will be asked to collect number on the day. If you think you should have received a number and have not then please email me.
Too late for champagne too but a cracking run nevertheless.
ORB - nicely located clubhouse and great organisation. Please extend my thanks to the heroic marshalls taking on the motorists of Essex on all those road crossings.
thanks Helly d i was one of those marshalls the motorists were very considerate, bar one in a silver hyundai coupe i think. Evasive action was required as he floored it hurling abuse at everyone. Apart from that was a good day i hope to run it next year.

Sorry, have been on holiday. Yes got my number (86) I'm sure I sent a decent sae with it.
What shoes are best??
Spikes, trainers or off road ( studs)
Thanks
I might wear trail shoes, though I am fairly sure I have worn road before with no probs...... if it stays dry this week it should be fine.
Right, I am sending my form 1st class tomorrow.
Having just finished Brentwood Half with a PB I feel the urge to do something stupid
Put me down on the list ORB!
I would like to enter on the day. What time should i arrive by?
I was going to do the A20 Pathway, but have been banned as it is Mother's Day!
Well I did get it so good.
See you tomorrow!
As this week has been dry just wondered if anybody knew the state of the course ? - not sure which type of shoes to wear, trainers or studs?
Poo...
Can't even run for the bus at the moment
Having witnessed Epping Forest on a dark, grey, cold, wet November afternoon I was looking forward to seeing it in the spring
Good luck everyone
Yes, there is always next year

Very nice race, really challenging. I knew Epping Forest is undulating but where did they find so steep hills ?
Definitelly will go again next year hoping for a different weather. This time I used my road trainers, my studs are waiting
I'd like to thank organisers for a superb race and for the promt placing of the results on internet.
