Bring your suncream on Sunday
Jason
you might want to think about a white vest if it's going to be hot
a black one will get pretty warm
I'm in!!! Got my programme and number yesterday...632 (New Runner, we shall be testing you on all these numbers on Sunday so get revising!!!)
Really looking forward to it, but am not sure whether to try for a PB or have a gentle jog run round as my marathon schedule says to do! This means my time might be anywhere between 1:57ish to 2:20. Will probably see how I feel on the day.
Are we just meeting up beforehand at all or just after the race at the Crown?
Jason
Does that mean you are parking in the public car park next to Apex Sports? Are we able to park at Leys Farm?
What time are you meeting at Apex Sports?
DW
I hope we get a chance to say hello on the day. You've kind of got an idea of what I look like, just add the URWFRC vest and there I am!! As you know, I'm running with Mrs RB and looking at a time of 2.10 - 2.20, I guess. (This is more of a 'get you round for Mrs RB after the difficulties at Blackpool). What time do you think you'll be doing?
I'll be at Windsor. The Eynesham looks interesting. Is that Eynesham near Oxford? Where can I get the details?
NR, as this rate we'll all be gently jogging with you!!
All the best,
RB
Maybe see some of you after - I'm no. 270.
Can Wolfie tell me if the carpark is a field or hardstanding, as my car hasn't enough ground clearance for a rutted field.
Ta.
we need to get this sorted out
1. i think we'll be meeting at the Apex sports stand (NOT THE SHOP) - which is on site in the school grounds
2. Leys farm field rut ratio, no idea. if snoop is coming in his ultra low Mclaren F1 then probably the bet is to park it in farnham common and walk down to school (about 1/2 a mile)
3. eynesham is near oxford. details will be in RW a bit closer to the time (usually the last sunday in Nov)
I can text you when we get there.
Are you bringing Emma for support?

PizzaMan ()
Apologies if I missed anyone
Emma probably is coming along, but not until a bit later on (maybe not until the finish). What time are you planning on arriving at the school?
both he and pizzaman i think are in the 1.30-1.40 range
i will hope to finish in 2.00 and i haven't decided what i'm wearing yet - in fact i'm searching for a string vest - anyone know where to buy one?
Mikealex changed his name after suggestions from RB and Pizzaman. He would love to run 1:30-1:40 but fears that will never happen. Pizzaman on the other hand is that fast.
Sorry I missed you at Yateley Keith
You won't believe this but I just went out at lunch time for a quick 5.5 miles pre BB and I think I've tweaked a calf muscle (how the hell...???). Doesn't feel serious but God knows what's going to happen on Sunday. Just took 2 x Ibuprofen and I'm now hoping for the best.
In any case I'll still be running(?) with Mrs RB until or umless I just can't carry on.
See you all there...
All the best,
(slightly p***ed off) RB
Sorry to hear about the injury mate. Rest it carefully for a couple of days and you may well be alright.
Hopefully see you fighting fit on Sunday.
DW
I bet you're just trying to give us all a head start. :-)
Get some ice on it and hope to meet you on Sunday.
Jason
NR
RB hopefully it will come to nothing. I had a pain in my calf a couple of weeks ago that pulled me up but it just went away after an hour.
See you all there
WWR. You're right. This afternoon's frenzy was right up there with pre FLM madness.
Just goes to show.. Maybe we're more into music than running???
RB
Sorry but I can't make it to BB this year as I'll be on the Isle of Wight. However, I've managed to get a 3 hour pass & have entered the IoW 1/2. It doesn't start 'till 12 so while you lot are having a celebratery pint in the Crown I'll have just started a hilly 1/2 in 28 degrees, (the fun we have).
I gave blue Knees £50.00 and told him to get all the forumites a drink from me. So make sure he does.
Enjoy!
PM
ps. Snoop, last year the field was very wet & some people had all sorts of problems.
Nice to meet you all (apart from New Runner and Wolf who I missed, sorry)
ripped my number off coming onto the school field at the end in utter disgust at the way i ran the race. started walking on the hills from 7 miles onwards (never done that before ever) and was on target for a 2.07 - 13 minutes slower than my previous PW.
the most spineless, cowardly and feeble-minded piece of running i have ever done - definitely not deserving of a finisher's medal.
this isn't about finishing time folks, it's about application and effort and i am absolutely disgusted with myself.
there's some real work to be done inside my head.....before next april
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE - NICE TO MEET YOU ALL!!! AND SEE YOU AT WINDSOR FOR A BETTER ONE I HOPE
