Just seen the profile for Hundred Hills. I guess the clue was in the name :man_facepalming:

I would feel a bit short changed there does not look to be 100 hills in that profile :grinning:

Not gonna make the start line next week.
Glute still sore and despite starting to mainline Naproxen, I’m not sure it’s worth it.

They have a race in September, so have deferred.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

The hotel we booked when we were going to do the HH was non refundable so we thought sod it we have paid for it so will use it - we are staying just outside Medmenham which is between Henley and Marlow.

Going for a run along the Thames Path tomorrow for Mrs T’s marathon training.

Have fun - we will be thinking of you as we tuck into our full English :rofl:

Oh right, I’d forgotten that was on your radar. I looked at a hotel but didn’t bother in the end. It looks to be about a 1h20 drive.

The pre-race webinar said they will have a van with breakfast rolls, so I’m getting there a bit earlier than planned and will have one of those but I’ll chuck some bananas in the car just in case. :wink:

Cheers mate, will do. If I’m feeling good then I’d like to think 7.30 could be on the cards but just want to get her done really.

Enjoy your breakfast :grin:
