7am start?
I might do my cake eating in bed then!
er....so to speak....
I found it from the humanrace website Ali, it's HERE.
Shaun, public transport there isn't great anyway, the closest you'll get is the train station atthe bottom of the hill. You might find a cheap B&B in Dorking, or you could stay at HC/Touc's place as I know for a fact they're on holiday then.
Don't really fancy staying over for the night s then it becomes an expensive race, and I was just looking for a cheap way to avoid putting on weight after IMWales. Will possibly go for the Luton Marathon instead if it doesnt work out.
Dave is that you on the 2010 Winter Gallery on the human race BB page? If so great times for last year!
HC - okay, just dont blame me if it rains then
CD - 217 out of 380 already !, so I had best keep an eye on the list then, I was hoping to delay entering until Oct (Septs already overspent and its not even started yet !), but I'll enter when it goes over 300.
Go on then, sounds like a bit of a laff - Real Pirates

.......while I continue the race without having to wait for you to finish shitting this time
I won't care as CD pointed out we'll be miles away drinking Pina Colada and pimping Toucs in the all night casino.
Dave hope you're not expecting the usual estate agencies fee
Hmm......this will fill the space between Beachy Head marathon and potentially starting training (Shh!) for the Outlaw. I hope the pirate kit will be ready then.
218 so far.

Looks like we'll have great support.
(sorry not sure how one qualifies as a 'pirate' but might be doing this event)#
Indeed, it seems a bit harsh - do they get the route closed to traffic? Only reason I can think of for such an anti-social start time. At least it isn't on a bloody Sunday, I suppose.
I'm waiting 3 weeks before finances allow me to enter, hopefully wont be full
I'm in but i'm crap at adding myself to lists- (I usually destroy them!)
Hoping this will bring back the sadly lacking motivation to train!

Do I have to do eeverything
Is there cut off times that you have to finish each section in? I am considering this...
TR, I don't know to be honest, the best guess is to look at the number of finishers last year and assume they take around 10% entries more than that.
lottie, the organisers say there's a cut-off for starting the second run, but in practice I've never seen it enforced - I've seen people starting the second run after around 4 hours. They might withdraw marshalling at some point but by then you should know your way around the course fairly well
Am not sure about this, actually, despite me being on Gladys's original list. Love the event and quite want to do it (as long as I don't actually think about what it entails - the best way to treat these things I find), it's just that my achilles is really crap and I need to look after it. Not sure that all the uphill running will be good for it. Am torn...
Could be persuaded as long as the cake eating gang are still prepared to be there for a 4.2x finish time...
Thanks Dave, I couldnt see any mention of cut off times on the website.
Last years times all look really fast
I think that I would take near 90min to run 8 miles, am I too slow? The second 8 miles would probabily take even longer... I would take around 2 hours on the bike, depending on how steep the hills are.
