shoeless Jun 2006 11:59am, 7 Jun 2006 0 posts	shoeless Quick question (I haven't trawled through the 30 pages of this yet, so forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere) - is there a cut-off time for the BPTT? I haven't seen it on the website...<br><br>Having a look at the latest results, the slowest time is just over 35. As my 5k PB is 34:30, and this course is said to be slower than others (according to the intro page of the site) am I going to be well out of my league here?<br><br>Any advice appreciated!

The best thing is you start using BBTT as your 5k time, and keep PBing, the next time you enter a 5k you end up with a fab time!!<br><br>

Le Greg - new improved recipe Jun 2006 12:44pm, 7 Jun 2006 0 posts	Le Greg - new improved recipe Well, they close the park to pedestrians at 10pm, so if you think you'll be slower than that, make sure you have a tent and a flask of coffee to keep you company. There's plenty of wildlife so food shouldn't be an issue. Prob a good idea to pack some waterproof matches as well.<br><br><br><br>No, seriously, there is no cut off, it's very friendly, and it's a nice place to spend a Saturday morning as well.
