Who's going and how are you training for this? Is winter getting in the way? Has anyone done it before?

Hi BB

There's a big group of Fetchies going out in 2013.

I've done Comrades & this is the last event on my must do list :)

Good Luck & enjoy.

Oh how exciting, if I survive, I might come back in 2013!

I do have a dream of Comrades - how was it for you Foxy D?

I am doing it this year. I was planning on only doing the half again but started panicing as I am booked to do RTR and I was told it is quite hard and am I doing an Ultra before it. The cut offs are quite strict I believe but it has good support they love long distant in SA.

BB - i warmed up for Comrades with 10 marathons in 10 days & did Big C a fortnight later & enjoyed it :) 56 miles is a bit far for me really.

I scraped round in 9.47 - I thought a Bill Rowan was optimistic (had never done more than 33 miles before) & so it proved but certainly not dissapointed with that.

DP - this year ? you might have missed it ? ;)

Done it, good race. Just trained for it like it was a marathon and used it for getting ready for the Comrades.

Winter weather in the UK - that is what gloves are for.

Great place to go :¬)
