Anyone in for this Sunday's fun?
Weather looking reasonable, no sub zero start, bit of a head wind on the final grind back
Suspect the Billy track will be nice and muddy given this week's weather

Fierce and Festive Fleecy
I half thought about this one but the ferries don’t start early enough from the IoW, maybe next year...

Hey NID, I’m in. Bit of rain in the f/c now but still only light winds. Best wishes for a good run!
Btw Looks like Fetch has been infected with a bug or some trolls

Excellent Steve. Which distance are you doing? I could not resist the Inn on the Beach pass so doing the 50

Stout fellow sir. Marathon for me. Did it in 2015 and enjoyed a local run that I can walk to the start of (via the Gosport ferry) and a few pints on the way home. Looking forward to it!

Hope your run was a cracker NID?
Although I signed up for a 26.2 Marathon they turned ours into a 27 miler cos the tide was in. Super run though, perfect conditions (for December) and I got in before the rain.

Well done Steve, I had the last mile in the drizzle, and a walk to the car in the increasing rain. Felt sorry for the later finishers crossing the bridge in the pouring rain - that looked pretty miserable. As you said, we were lucky for the time of year.
The mile markers were increasingly out for me from the start, I had assumed that my garmin was measuring short, but looking at the trace we certainly added a little extra through the back alleys.
