Mr. Grumpy Oct 2021 6:55am, 11 Oct 2021 31 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy I’m in from the original date in 2020. Will be my eighth race in six weeks, all of which have also been rescheduled from last year due to to the pandemic. 😕 I’ve not done the course before, but it’s supposed to be relatively flat, so should be good for a PB! There’s a couple of others on here who’re also down to run.
Mr. Grumpy Oct 2021 7:25am, 11 Oct 2021 32 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy Yes GM, their events that I’ve done previously have all been well organised, and the medals have always been really chunky and distinctive if you like that kind of thing. They do seem to hunt out the windy locations though.lol

Mr. Grumpy Oct 2021 8:22am, 11 Oct 2021 34 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy It’s only windy when you’re running into it though isn’t it? Doesn’t count when it’s coming from behind you!
Mr. Grumpy Oct 2021 2:44pm, 29 Oct 2021 40 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy Race number arrived today. Eight days to go! Disappointed that my chosen number from the original event in 2020 didn’t get carried through, but at least they got the name right…

Mr. Grumpy Oct 2021 10:30am, 30 Oct 2021 41 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy Did you estimate a finish time when you entered Riggsy? I originally entered back in October 2019 before COVID and I can’t remember estimating a finish time. I was hoping for 42:xx if the wind doesn’t hit, but I think I may be in a slower wave with a 10:10 start.
