jacdaw Jun 2018 10:02pm, 28 Jun 2018 1,997 posts	0 jacdaw Sorry, no, talking about the 100. We were never bothered by the cut offs on the 50. Even the year when we hadn't done any training!
DavidAP Jun 2018 10:39pm, 28 Jun 2018 443 posts	0 DavidAP jacdaw, if anything on the 100 the cutoffs are your friend. Unless you're bombing round the course, staying just inside the cutoffs is a good pacing plan. As once at Braithwaite they will take care of themselves.

DavidAP Jun 2018 6:58am, 29 Jun 2018 446 posts	0 DavidAP jacdaw, if you can get to Braithwaite, in good shape, and leave the checkpoint after a decent break you will smash it. If you get to Braithwaite really struggling..........well you can guess.
DavidAP Jun 2018 6:59am, 29 Jun 2018 447 posts	0 DavidAP ..and DON'T change your shoes at Dalemain!!! (well that was my huge mistake)
mrs shanksi Jun 2018 7:57am, 29 Jun 2018 8,989 posts	0 mrs shanksi I took my shoes off on the Lairig Mor (85 miles in to a 95 mile race) and let's just say there were tears trying to get them on again... I would always recommend not taking your shoes off during an ultra.
DavidAP Jun 2018 8:49am, 29 Jun 2018 452 posts	0 DavidAP Changing socks at Dalemain if the conditions are wet, is probably a good idea. Although this year looks like it will be drought, dry, conditions.
