Trail & Ultra Running Thread

Tah, didn’t always feel that way :roll_eyes: but the good thing about ultras and silly long stuff is that however much you screw up or however bad things get, there’s pretty much always time to fix it & redeem yourself.

How did you get in because when I checked last week, it was sold out?

Were you looking at the 2021 event? The entries only opened today. There’s still slots now.

ooh ok, maybe i was mixed up.

Bored on a Saturday, this is what happens!

Get on fellas!

I think it might with my deferred Endure 24 but I’d rather do this. (he says now)

what number is he?

Not sure, surname is Gerundini.

My mate has been leading most of the way.

He looks to be solidly in the middle of the third pack and past half way.

It was a TT start over a couple of hours but I think there was some seeding. Probably where I’d expect him to be, didn’t he say he’d been ill or injured recently?

Ah that makes sense because that field looks seriously spread out.

That man is a machine. He did 9 sprints at Blenheim last weekend, and he’s been ill this week too. Great stuff.

2021 South Downs Way 100 entered at 10.03am Saturday morning - I will see the Ia(i)n’s on the start line.

One of my favourite races for a beautiful route

Good man. I can categorically state that start line is the only time we will see other (and not in a good way for me. :laughing:)

Big email and PDF from Mud Crew for AoA. Massive changes to the race and may even be looking at no aid stations. Absolute minimal contact. Offer to defer to 2022 is good until Oct 31.

No aid stations? Would that mean you needed a crew to support you or detours to shops?
