Thanks for setting this thread up (and obviously thanks to everyone in the support groups too!). I need to check my running number to let you know it, but will be running with my twin sister, Elaine, and we will be wearing matching white sleeveless tops with dark coloured cycling shorts (still need to buy!) and muddy white trainers (from my run in the rain on Sunday!). Hopefully we shouldn't be too hard to spot, but then I think we will be running among the 'thick' of the runners!
Managed 21 miles in 3hrs 17 on Sunday and feeling no ill-effects after it, so fingers crossed for good conditions (and a healthy extra 5 miles on the day!) and we should be in around 4.15.
Do you know what side of the road you'll be on so that we can make sure to be in the right place?!
Thanks!
HeatherF
you've got me, i'm currently suffering with an injury hopefull i will make it on the day, and i do lots of good looking dr's would be very nice to pamper me lol!!!
my number is 8481
i'll be in a black stroke association vest with NICKY written on the front.
really i would love any kind of support as i haven't been able to train for 3 weeks now so it's gonna be a tuff one if i do make it to the line.
Your great
TS
Thanks for your support peeps!
I've recently had surgery on my dodgy knee, so will be a bit slower than anticipated. But I'll get there (and definitely stop).
I'm #35760 and will be wearing a Cats Protection vest (I haven't seen this yet, no idea what colour). I think it will have my real name on the front i.e. Julie. I'll probably be limping and looking pathetic and will need all the shouting and encouragement you can offer!!!
beanz: race number 24682
will need a hug and a mini mars bar or two
do not expect to be at mile 17 until about 2:53 after I cross the start line I am afraid - so probably 4 hours
will be wearing a green oxfam vest - assuming they send me one big enough - the one I currently have is made for whippets!
Take it easy and enjoy it and until the big day, enjoy lots of pampering!
hoping for about 3.30 this year
Keep up the good work- both training and supporting- see you at mile 17!! Hope anyone with injuries benefits from the rest and are ready for one last blast on 23rd!!
Elaine
Shirt - "Bedders" on the front. If you miss me it says "Go Bedders" on the back!
number 11059
Should be coming past 17 mile mark around 2:30-2:40 excluding time to cross start line (aiming for 4 hour)
If anyone wants to try and work out their splits and doesn't know a website I have a link from my blog at http://www.bedders.blogspot.com - go to "race time predictor"
Thanks again.
So if you haven't received an e-mail from me then I don't have your address.
However, if you've found this thread then you probably don't need the e-mail anyway!!
I'll try to sort out a list of people whose addresses I don't have at the weekend.
I'm away from early Wednesday morning until Friday morning and if you mail me during that time I won't be able to respond. I'll reply as soon as I can at the weekend.
I'll try to put this thread into some kind of order later, so all people will have to do is to add their number and support needs.
<<<<If we are to be the bestest team, we must keep this thread up on the front page of the latest posts>>>>
This year, I will mostly be wearing No. 52734, with a white vest and "John V" emblazoned across the front. n.b. for anyone cheeering, that John "Veeee", not John "the fifth" which everyone very annoyingly chose to call out last year!
Not looking for anything more than an encouraging shout as I pass... aiming for around 3:10 at the finishing line, so that should put me in your vicinity somewhere close to 2 hours in (i.e. 11:45)
Thanks for doing this - looking forward to giving you all a wave on the day.
Support Group 6 - LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!
BOO!!
Give us your details when you have them.
Is there any chance of meeting any of the support group prior to the 17 mile mark on the day as I would love to give you a SIS drink in a sports bottle to hand to me? Or am I being far too ambitious?
Diana, I will have a banana (small or half and fairly ripe) and a mini mars bar - or should I have fruit cake??
I know I should have food and will definitely need it but I am so prone to feeling sick when eating and running that I often don't but then run out of energy!
Maybe a double espresso?
Have added TopSec's banana & mini mars to the list - Beanz wants mini mars too. I could make fruit cake, then eat it myself if TS doesn't fancy it at the time (I'll end up with quite a picnic, as Roz wants a tuna mayo sandwich!)
OR we could do as Diana suggests and I make it up fresh in a throw away bottle. I use SIS myself so it would be no bother.
Any particular one (PSP or GO) ?flavour?
I love you already!!! (sorry Mr. Cdk)
Nearer the time can we arrange a drop off at the St Giles?
That would certainly stop me dead in my tracks!
But maybe here I will just have some berry lucozade :-)
oh and boing!
