Blackbird Leys (boy) Oct 2015 8:48pm, 10 Oct 2015 2,206 posts	0 Blackbird Leys (boy) Well done DeeGee. Job done as they say. Number 117 for me today at the 9Bar ultra fest. Had planned to do 6 laps ( 54k) but decided after just one hilly lap that maybe marathon distance would be enough . Only just getting back inti the swing of things so don't want to push my luck. Every lap brought with it a new pain. First my hip then my calf followed by my ankle. Luckily I can't multi task pain so as each new one arrived I had to drop the last one. Got loads of nine bars , a bag , smashing medal and T-shirt. Well made up.
hellen Oct 2015 10:22pm, 10 Oct 2015 14,901 posts	0 hellen I entered the 81km thinking I would not do 81km but 7 or 8 laps (as I want to train next week -50 miles longer to recover from). I downgraded to 6 laps fairly early on as it was way harder than expected

hellen Oct 2015 10:46am, 11 Oct 2015 14,902 posts	0 hellen The rules it said that you can drop down on the day and get the medal for the distance you did but not be eligible for prizes I know this as I looked into dropping down before I entered! I wasn't sure what the course would be like so decided to enter the 81km as that kept my options open to basically do what I wanted!
