chunkywizard Jun 2019 3:51pm, 16 Jun 2019 6,594 posts	0 chunkywizard Bosun Tony did 100 miles! I saw Sinj and Cstar as well. I managed 9 laps and am now in the bath trying not to fall asleep. Both of my blisters burst when running so my feet aren’t a pretty sight. Awesome weekend!
Dibble Jun 2019 8:28pm, 16 Jun 2019 618 posts	0 Dibble Well done CW. I also saw Bosun Tony (but he didn't see me) - I think he was concentrating too much! Really enjoyed a fairly steady 6 laps for our parkrun team which makes a total of 20 laps over the 3 years I have done the event. Doesn't get me the 100 mile T-shirt though!
StuH Jun 2019 8:40pm, 16 Jun 2019 3,142 posts	0 StuH A brilliant weekend, well done everyone. Only managed half of my optimistic target at 50 miles, but by 1am I was done! My feet are battered but otherwise not too bad. Saw Bosun Tony on the course, and Mr K helping out at a marshall point once he had done running dressed as a rabbit! Thought he was a sheep, getting tired by then! Saw Dipps and got shouts from Groundhog and Sallykate. Saw DavidGould finishing a lap as I was packing up. Sorry if I missed anyone else.
Groundhog Jun 2019 9:54pm, 16 Jun 2019 480 posts	0 Groundhog I had a lovely time at endure. Marathon on Friday then being part of a team of 7. I was lucky to see Bosun Tony for a little chat on the start of one of his laps, a couple of shout outs to StuH. Also found Serendippily (and was it c9 being a doggy mummy?) and her team for a chat between laps.

Thanks Groundhog for coming up and saying hello....sorry if I never said much....you understand !! Was looking out for Fetchies....we need to wear our tops more !! lol 100 miles, 3 times at Endure, but this is the toughest of them all, I coud have quite happily called it a day at 80, I was totally done...but then knew I would be kicking myself the following day (if I could move my leg !) Well done on the mileage everbody, that was tough......we should all be very proud !
HappyG(rrr) Jun 2019 12:59pm, 17 Jun 2019 31,785 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Well done all. Tony, great to hear from you. Haven't seen you for... 10 years?! (Glen Clova 2009?! Or was there a Scottish Fetch Mile some time more recently.) 24 hours / 100 miles is always a brilliant achievement. G
Bosun Tony Jun 2019 1:09pm, 17 Jun 2019 910 posts	0 Bosun Tony Hi mate, yes been a long time ! it was indead Glen Clova, .....god I feel old ! Think the old bones are more for plodding along than cutting seconds off my marathon times these days. Suffering a bit now....but that will pass......I'll always have the T shirt and medal ! Cheers G

HappyG(rrr) Jun 2019 1:17pm, 17 Jun 2019 31,787 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Err, I've just checked. It was Glen Clova 2008!! If you feel old, bear in mind it was 2 decades ago for me (50 this year and I was 39 in 2008!) I love that picture of you training on your boat, with the swell so big it hides the oil rig in background! G
