Round Rotherham 50

[mxhornet]

Hopefully it'll be as easy as that on the day. My one race longer than this I did was a 100km which I was on the verge of dropping out at 82k but was persuaded to carry on and actually found the last 5km as easy as any part of the race.

Weather looks perfect.

All the best.

Not quite how I'd describe it

This gives more detail unfortunately

Well at least it looked warmer than last year

Make sure you're back by 3pm and you'll only get the heavy rain spell in the morning and not the afternoon too

8 hours is a decent time going by last years results. Sub 9 will do me given the forecast.

Enjoy ? More like endure

Anyone know the cure for trench foot ?

Prevention's best - seal skinz socks Tried em out last couple of week ends in ankle deep mud/water adn ..dry feet! Will definately have em on on Sat.

Was tempted until I found out I'd need a mortgage to get a pair

[SteveS]

Is it just me or does this look an even worse forecast than before?

Definitely different, rain starts later tonight but there's more of it but it doesn't turn to sleet.
