I was just looking at that - looks good , an alternative to the UTMB races.

Is the Centurion 200 mile winter race. (or whatever it was) on this year?

This winter - 100 miles is enough for me

Yeah, 200 is proper nutter territory! I can’t even compute.

So I seem to have won myself an entry to the Ankor Ultra in Cambodia for Jan 2024. Its been about 12 years since I was last there, you get to run through Ankor Wat . There are different distances but I’m going to go for the 64km option . So thats me now motivated for the next 2.5 months. Is this where I mention I also won an outside sauna earlier on this year so at least I can get that heat training in.

Congrats on getting into your race it sounds fantastic, but how the hell do you win a sauna?

lol - it generally coincided from when I was training for WSER and found it a pain to go to the sauna at the gym after running. Saw a post on insta for raffle tickets and bought one.

Was more worried it would’nt fit in our small back garden .

Wow, that sounds brill :sunglasses:

That’s kind of comforting. You see these competitions, but I don’t know of anybody that’s ever won anything significant.

I guess the best one I know is Mrs GB won a grand or so on the postcode lottery. I’d consider that a reasonable win actually. Bought us a new mattress after all.
