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!

And a bit dollop of get well soon for LD!

So the trail 10k is next Sunday and yesterday I trotted 2k on asphalt... but then I checked the times from last year's 10k and they are slow... I want to do it but I know I will race and risk an injury; then I have to drive 8 hours home the next day.

Brain says don't be effin stupid.

Every other part of me says LET'S GO!

Problem is I have to drive my friend, coming from NYC, to run the 45km we had both planned to do. It is 7-8 hours drive each way. I'm unlikely to be out there again any time soon so I want to make the most of it.

Considering taking bike and conquersizing but not sure I want to take beautiful racer on the back of the car over crappy, gravel roads and mountain bike is not fun to ride. Neither would do my back any favours but racer is worse.

Which kinda tells us what we need to know about entering the race But... But...

Can you volunteer? I have done that and called it a recce at beachy. I can see that 10k is more sensible than 45k but even you aren’t convinced by that

I shouldn’t really be here as day 2 of a migraine but I’m bored! Consequently I’ve missed a few days so hope you’re all well and those who aren’t get better soon.
