I take it that it is strictly no EOD.
Looking for something else to do with Mickledon being cancelled :mad:
If they allow subs on day (and no one at the club wants my place tonight) you can have my place at cost. PM me. Taking me lad to the footy instead.
ps some maps here + electronic traces you can use to generate your own maps (note error a few miles from end).
and with all that weight behind you it will hurt.Quote:

Just for pacing reasons really, because the Halfers will be on a faster pace one would expect, and could do with not getting carried away on the first bit :)
No, they set off about five or ten minutes beforehand and go a different way at the start. The full Trog heads downhill and does an extra half mile or so before joining the same route as the half, so you can be most of the way towards Cock Hill before you begin catching them.Quote:

I hope you're all fit and well and raring to go.
Please can you car share as much as possible as the little village can't cope with a large volume of traffic. Please also park sensibly as the local bus needs to get through every hour.
Thanks
Linda
Can't wait for it, first proper race of the year and first real chance to see how well all the hard work in training has done :)Quote:

See you in the morning, Andrew :)
Peter,
You can have my entry. Have just sent you a PM so please call me if you want it. Woke up with a stinking cold this morning so going to retire to my bed.
am rather excited about this,Its gonna be my first long race ever ! Spent 3 hours looking at the map yesterday and writing down the course so dont have to look at map all the time.
Looking at the map, the section from CP11 to CP12 and then to CP13 is near enough going due south, so thats handy to know if the clag is down.
