Els Aug 2013 1:21pm, 21 Aug 2013 336 posts	0 Els fyi I've done my pacing chart for the race and it shows a 19 hour finish. Can you run the bear in 11 hours? No, I thought not.

Ted Aug 2013 5:01pm, 21 Aug 2013 13,111 posts	0 Ted That is only to stop Nx getting lost Vamosblahdiblah. She has stipulated that all CP's must be visible from the previous CP and in the hours of darkness the route must be lined with luminous pixies.

Avon Aug 2013 9:44pm, 21 Aug 2013 565 posts	0 Avon I see GeeeM is doing the Bear aswell, so Vamos now has a team of 2?
ogee Aug 2013 9:50pm, 21 Aug 2013 19,793 posts	0 ogee Got to set up the thread for this showdown. The Bear-V-Leonidas-V-30,000 parkrunners.... Need the stakes though gentlemen. Loser has to........???
Avon Aug 2013 10:41pm, 21 Aug 2013 567 posts	0 Avon Battle for the front cover of Ultra Tales is a good idea or.. Loser forfeit is to run an ultra in a bear/spartan costume? Spartathlete losers have to run back to Athens with Mimi? Beer?
GeeeM Aug 2013 7:30am, 22 Aug 2013 642 posts	0 GeeeM Haha! What a brilliant idea - yes, I'm part of Team GB heading off to "The Bear" - there are 3 of us I was going to take it easy and go for a sub-30 buckle, (hey - there is 21,000' of ascent) but might have to put a bit of effort in now. Might be worth dropping a line to parkrun HQ / Tom Williams to see if we can get a mention on the podcast / newsletter.
ultrapaulo Aug 2013 8:27am, 22 Aug 2013 643 posts	0 ultrapaulo I am not sure parkrun would work... Utah is 7 hours behind, with a 06:00 start a 24 hour run at The Bear would be a 13:00 finish in UK time. I don't think it will be too hard to dip under the 4 hour mark at parkrun!
