I left my number at the cafe, Jez. I think I have an idea where it may be (the 4 points I stopped to take photos), so off on a head torch run tonight on a 'needle in a haystack' mission. Any excuse for a night run really though, especially with the firework displays in Lower Wharfedale to watch too.
Hi all,
Is anyone planning a recce? I'm planning a route recce tomorrow morning but have to admit my course knowledge is a little sketchy. If anyone would like to join with knowledge of the route that would be ace. Pacing wise, 3.15 road marathon but happy to go at any pace.
2 weeks to go until my second crack at his, hoping for under 3:20 this year but obviously conditions on the day play a big part.
Did most of the route yesterday and found it very wet and muddy for the first 6 or 7 miles and the first portion up the Chevin towards the end. Got a bit confused up at Whetstone gate when I couldn't see the masts (been a while since I've been up there); felt a bit eerie them not being there.
Anyway, looking forward to it again and amazing what a difference 12 months of running has made, felt strong even after finishing yesterday so hopefully on for a least a small improvement on last years effort.
Wonder if that awkward out and back at Piper's Crag will be used again this year or if it was just a cock up last time?!
Have the masts been removed since last year? Thanks for the warning otherwise I might have got confused as well, come Feb 1st.
Has anyone else had any luck with emailing the RS organiser?
As I am withdrawing I'm wanting to offer my entry using formal channels but am wondering how long to wait for a reply using the [email protected] email address. It's only been 5 days so far since I emailed but am conscious that the event is only 2 weeks away so it would be good to sort out a transfer asap.
Cheers
Martin
Martin,
I'm looking for a number if you are still looking to offload yours. I've emailed the RO to ask about swaps this morning.
