I normally look like an upper market chav these days, flip flops, shorts and an adidas t shirt or something.

That is a really nice touch, they seem to have learnt from the bad press over the last 18 months. Hope everything goes well today and you can enjoy the weekend :tada:

I think it’s covid based, and was one of the stipulations to get the event over the line, letting athletes who felt “ uncomfortable “ defer at any time as Poet pointed out earlier in the week… what I told them was true unfortunately, but I could have been lying if I’d been… a bit of a sick weirdo.

One IMJ guy just said I’m not ready, he hadn’t put the work in, and he’s now next year too.

I obviously won’t find out anything today, then it’s a case of no news is good news apparently.

Looks ok to me, I wondered where Bolton was, turns out it’s what those that aren’t in the know call Notlob

Reminds me of when IM Oz stuffed up the backpacks and printed:

I thought so too - after finishing UTMB I wore my shirt to the local parkrun only to be comprehensively trumped by a guy in a Tour de Geants finisher shirt :scream::scream: (had a good natter with him - he’s a really nice guy as well :roll_eyes:)

Wasn’t there a brief time when they used the global slogan “Anything is IMpossible” :rofl:

Actually you’ve reminded me, it wasn’t ‘Anthing can happen’ it was ‘Anthing is possible’.

We did get some mileage out of it on Transitions for a while. :laughing:
