Derby Tup Nov 2013 3:17pm, 22 Nov 2013 8,226 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Brett, HH organiser, has an amazing skill for sorting decent weather for the day. I've done every one since 2005 and it's mostly been a good day for running

Rosehip Jan 2014 11:16am, 16 Jan 2014 2,703 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip --creeps in quietly I've signed up for my first too - a baby ultra at 50K www.thamespathchallenge.com and not until September - but as I'm old and slow it's still a stretch target. trouble is my wishlist of ones I'd like to have a go at afterwards keeps getting longer and more unrealistic!
Frobester Jan 2014 11:23am, 16 Jan 2014 24,592 posts	Quote Pin Frobester Cor, suddenly there's activity here! I'm old and slow too but I just like the look of Stour Valley. Like my first mara though, I have absolutely no idea whether or not I'll want to do another once I've finished it, assuming I do!
ChrisThePuma Jan 2014 11:42am, 16 Jan 2014 2,525 posts	Quote Pin ChrisThePuma that looks a good one Frobes - I am in the same boat, not sure if this will be my first & last Ultra so not booking any more atm - but I suspect once the pain goes away I will be looking for more
Frobester Jan 2014 11:43am, 16 Jan 2014 24,597 posts	Quote Pin Frobester Yes - I currently have a wife and 2 kids and want to keep it that way - I fear that if there's a bug to be bitten by, my marital relationship will need some careful management!
