Gotta be a scam, you’d get a letter if you’d done anything

Just opened some junk mail I’d left from Friday. Turns out it’s from Deform. The big picture of Fuhrage on it made me feel physically ill

It’s great when they map the elevation onto the pace graph 🤣

Thanks, it was a cold, wet miserable day. Took me forever to get warm after. Probably caught Covid that day too

South east corner of Swindon and surrounding villages, climbs up toward, but past the bottom of liddington hill fort( unlike race to the stones where you go all the way up ) . Not doing it this year- I’ve an ultra booked a week later

I’m wave 6, due to start at 11am. Last time I did it I clocked a 2:05:44 half. Which seems faster than I remember going 🤣

Flattish first five miles, uphill for three (Louise knows that climb well) then a mostly downhill then flat last 5. I went out fairly quick to bank time when I inevitably slowed on the big hill. Did a few tactical Jeffs up top. Mostly not in Swindon itself 🤣

Yeah, seeing you did gee me up ☺️

Half a Bath is about all most people can afford there 🤣

Yeah, gotta pace myself well to have something left for the finish- I almost ran out of steam back at Swindon half

Thanks, my first time there since 2020, hoping to beat that days time
