Jovi Runner Aug 2018 7:27pm, 15 Aug 2018 5,453 posts	Quote Pin Jovi Runner I will be an FV51 on race day but used my time from Rotterdam 2017 when I was 49.75! I heard at 3pm today to say I was in. I was 24 mins under required time so in theory no worries about getting in but wasn't certain until I got the email.
Jovi Runner Aug 2018 7:29pm, 15 Aug 2018 5,454 posts	Quote Pin Jovi Runner I did have a 3:55 from this year's scorchio London which I ran as an FV50 but as only 5 mins within qualifying time didn't want to risk using that.
