I'm on such a condensed training programme after months out injured, unfit and fat that there's no guarantee I'll finish the D33. If I don't manage this then I won't race the Fling - oh the pressure! Small signs of recovery from last weekend's Borders marathon, although I did finish last in 4:37! In any case, Fling will not be flat out anyway - mindful of the "other race" in June. Same principle as above, I need to finish the Fling to start the WHWR. How about 13 hrs as a stab? How about you? Sub 10?

I am wanting to go sloooowwwwly and am happy to cut it a bit short if necessary too, just to let you know. If I only did 15 or 20, I could do a longer one back home in Pentland on the Sunday, so happy to be flexible on the Saturday, if that suits. Just happy to be joining you all. x :-)G

And if I get a place in WHW in 2015 I'd like to get some idea of how I feel with another tough 40+ miles to go.
