I'll be returning for another bash at this. I hope we get 2006 weather. I swear I got a sun tan on RRR that year.

I might be odd here, but I actually preferred the weather on the Rotherham 50 more than the weather on the other 50 I did last year. The Woldsman at the end of April was baking hot and I had trouble with hot feet and blisters. Don't forgot you can send a bag to the half way point on Rotherham.
that's a very good point socks and one we didn't utilise however I was very envious of the bloke in front of me putting on a complete new set of warm dry clothes.Quote:

I am toying with this one :eek:
It was a good day out
I led us wrong at the end and we had a bit of a detour. a good event , muddy fields a plenty, lots of banter on the way round.
Erm yes and having a pretty serious attempt at it too !!Quote:

Don't mention going wrong ;)
I did what should have been a 27 mile LDWA event earlier this year and ended up doing 32 miles instead, daft thing was I was following the route description perfectly well if I was on short course lol so once I realise I turned around and eventually rejoined long course oh well I was only using it as a training run and after time on my feet :p
I am thinking about this. ill have moved to the area, and working in Rotherham so it seems like a sign. Maybe not a good sign, but a sign none the less.

I've entered this now and have a basic training plan following on the JW ultra on Saturday to have a decent crack at this.
At this rate I might even attempt a BGR in 2009 ;)
hmmmmm!
