I've entered have you

BBB & WW(*2) will we be seeing you there?

[Deleted User] · May 2003

I've entered too, have really got the bug now!

[Deleted User] · May 2003

I've not raced for 6 years but looking forward to this, I think!

[Deleted User] · May 2003

First one back buys the beer(Dead Lion or Boot & Shoe)

[Deleted User] · May 2003

Are they runner friendly and do they let dogs in!

Fishy · May 2003

I'll be down in Salisbury for a wedding, or I'd do this - my parents only live near Barnard Castle!

[Deleted User] · June 2003

I`d rather run than go to a wedding,unless the beers free.

[Deleted User] · June 2003

Forth road 10k sounds a bit scary!

[Deleted User] · June 2003

I'll be there, Tulips.

[Deleted User] · June 2003

Maybe a little forum get together then

Where is the boot and shoe?

Ian Richardson · June 2003

I've done this for the last 5 years or so, and will certainly be doing it again this year

[Deleted User] · June 2003

Aahhh Tulips you beat me to it.

Well so far this year I have planned on running 5 races and pulled out of all because of injury or social circustances!
No exscuse for this one as its on my door step.
I WILL BE THEIR !!!!!!!

I have the entry form at home...must post it soon I'm not in much shape but hay there's 6 weeks yet.

What are you drinking Tulips? a pub near the market square would be best.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Hi

So anyone up for a drink at the end?

On current form I'll be taking well over an hour but if you're willing to wait for me.

No132 (I think)

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Tulips - count me in. I'll also be straggling in at around 70 minutes (maybe longer if this heat continues). Do they still have tables outside the Pennyweight pub? Might be a good place to meet. Or the Boot and Shoe? Both are near the finish.

Jill (No 60)

Ian Richardson · August 2003

I'll be about, can't remember my number, But I should be fairly conspicuous, in a green and white hooped vest, and weather permitting, daft bandana ( a Hedy, in fact) and mirrored Oakleys, posy I know, but they do work. Hoping for my first ever sub 40. Oh dear, I've written it down now, so I'll have to go for it !

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Anyone know if they accept day entries?

I go on holiday on Monday and dont know if I'll have time to squeeze this one in. Quite fancy it though.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Chimp - the run info says you can enter on the day at the town hall, from 8.30 I think. I guess it depends on how many runners they've signed up by then, but you could check by ringing the organisers. It's the borough council, but I can't give you the number as the stuff's at home and I'm at work.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Chimp - sorry, my mistake, entries on the day are at the Dolphin Centre (sports centre) and not town hall. From 8.15, they say.

Ian Richardson · August 2003

Yes indeedy, the Dolphin centre it is. From past experience there are usually a lot of people enter on the day, which is why I got my self organised to pre-enter this year. no 161.
Hope to see you there, will you be wearing the bow tie?
Remember, Darlington is not far from Hartlepool, and they hang monkeys there !

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Cheers peeps!

[Deleted User] · August 2003

I saw a sign yesterday saying entries accepted on the day.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Jill, I'd email you my phone number but I can't

(

I'm 5'2 round ginger and sunburnt oh yes and run like a very gentle breeze (as opposed to the wind)

[Deleted User] · August 2003

I'll be in the Boot n Shoe, if I get round.

WildWill · August 2003

I'm entering on the day - I hope

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Decided to be a bit mad!

After starting back to running this monday (following 4 runs in the last 16 weeks) managed 4.5 miles on Friday so thought what the hell...............in for a penny!

So I will be the one towards the back, red faced and sweating in the sunshine

Probablly run it in about 55 mins! Have a good one

BBB

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Good luck everyone!

Was hoping to be able to do this one myself but I've just too much on before flying off to foreign climes tomorrow!

Hope its a leeetle cooler, though I doubt it somehow.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Sunshine......HAHAHAHAHA!

Totally MAD and totally FUN!

Will do a report later when I have some hot food inside and have sorted out the devastation in the garden that the mother of all storms has caused!

PS great to finally meet a forumite....nice to see yah Will

WildWill · August 2003

I wish i'd took my canoe

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Just aswell that it was a two lap race - as I didn't see much of the first lap.
At one point I was convinced the rain had washed the contact lens out of my eyes!
But it was fun!

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Me, too, Little Miss N. It was like paddling in the sea at several points! Got round, didn't walk, in 72 mins, which is OK for fat, 45 and a plodder!

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant. Must try it again as long as there is a thunderstorm to match that one. Not allowed in Boot n Shoe with kids so went in Pennyweight.

Howdy, Stranger!
