Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've heard there's a 7hr recce for the first 10km today, I'm assuming that its gonna be a tough course then ;)
Think I've got the easy option doing the Winter 100 that day.

You know that moment when there is less time between now and the start than there is between the start and the finish? For example 36 hours before the start of the Spartathlon; I call this the event horizon. The feeling of slipping into a black hole where the only way out is through the other side at the end. It is a time of nervous excitement and panic. Question is, those who are running the Piece of String from this Friday, have they already fallen in?

I'm getting to my race a bit early next week just to see their happy smiling faces. The Rd's of course, not the runners, they'll be crying in pain....

I'm feeling a wee bit nervous and am wondering what I have let myself in for......... hopefully won't get lost as I certainly don't want to add more miles :)

Well, you won't really know if you've added more miles or not, will you? It's kind of irrelevant since you don't know how far your going. I suppose this is a good thing, because you won't beat yourself up too much for adding on detours ;)
