Fragile Do Not Bend
10 mile race today took me to 202 miles this year which was more than I was expecting to achieve!
A nice race but I’m very cross with the organisers who continued to accept on the day entries even though they knew this was going to leave them well short of enough medals. Of course it’s us plodders at the back who miss out, not the people who stroll into registration 30 minutes before the race expecting a place. The medal is probably the crappiest one I’ve ever seen but I still want my momento. 🙁

That *is* rude, Frag, I hope you will log your feelings with the organisers!
Great video and and lovely pic, and for all the various mileages clocked up today (double for 1000 miles!)
I cycled and ran a bit this morning. My foot wasn't quite so happy today, even after a spot of standing in cold sea water, so I think I'd better stay on the sofa for the rest of the day

um
Frag - that's very poor organising and worthy of a request for a refund ...
It's wouldn't be too difficult to allow entries on the day but advising those entering on the day 'no medal' if they were short. (and giving them all numbers above a known point, or marking the bibs, so everyone on the course and at the end knows they were 'on the day')

Fragile Do Not Bend
Someone did take a note of my number so I’m hoping that means I’ll get sent a medal later. It was all a bit chaotic at the finish so I don’t know what they plan to do.
I overheard one of the people running it say they’d had an unexpected number of on the day entries, I chipped in and said they shouldn’t take more entries than they had medals.
She said “that would mean we would have to turn people away”. I said “well, yes!” (in a tone to suggest that’s exactly what they should have done).
