Well - I'd guess 23' for a 5k would already put you in the top half of people racing - which is, of course, loads better than people who couldn't possibly run 5K. So with no shin niggles and a bit more time you will be really fast at 5K. It's just common sense really.

If you want a good gossip you need to do ultras - plenty of time when you are doing the race for a chat. ;o)

AND cake?? Is this a 'bring your own cake', sort of a thing - or a 'cake will be provided', sort of a thing? BPTT just gets more tempting by the second.

you can bring cake if you like (I think we should make sure Bertie does on her birthday......)

mostly it is provided in the comfortable surroundings of Cafe Nero afterwards. along with coffee and gossip. for a small fee.

I wouldn't fancy providing cake for over 200 people, which was the field last week.

usually the coffee house round the corner, though I think cake has appeared for special occasions :-)

Awwww. :o( That's dreadful TMW. I'm glad I found out before travelling all the way down there. It seems the streets/parks of London may not actually be paved with gold/cake after all.

I'm dead jealous now Gobi. About the triple I mean - not the cake in ultras thing.

Jealous about a triple??

I am more jealous about the cake in an ultra thing, to be honest.

And where was the cake last Saturday, Stumpy?? Or did I bugger off too soon?
