Anna Finn May 2009 7:36am, 15 May 2009 770 posts	Quote Pin Anna Finn I'm planning to have a go at Caesar's if I enjoy Ridgeway...
Jen J May 2009 9:36am, 15 May 2009 8,766 posts	Quote Pin Jen J I'm definitely not doing Caesar's. I have loved all the races I've done this year so much, and I've realised that it's because that's the type of running I love - point to point, out and back, or a big loop over beautiful trails. CC doesn't fit into that profile with it's twisty 10 lap MOD course, and the only reason I'd be doing it is to get the 100. I'm no longer chasing numbers, just running cos I love it
Anna Finn May 2009 10:57am, 15 May 2009 773 posts	Quote Pin Anna Finn Fair enough Jen. I'm looking forward to doing the South Downs Way that you're organising - will that be 100? Or more?
Jen J May 2009 11:48am, 15 May 2009 8,767 posts	Quote Pin Jen J It'll be pretty bang on, as my plan is to start and finish at the exact start and finish of the SDW, which itself is 100 miles. Probably looking at 2011, although I may try and get something for next year if I'm not doing Double Iron.
flanker May 2009 12:02am, 18 May 2009 10,531 posts	Quote Pin flanker Jen - I'll never try CC for exactly the same reason. There are plenty of ways I can run 100 and enjoy it, so why do one I won't.

Binks Jun 2009 4:37pm, 5 Jun 2009 1,442 posts	Quote Pin Binks I spoke to someone on the gucr this year about doing the spartathlon. He said if you are doing that DON'T do what all the other brits do and run Ridgeway. But I Might?
Jun 2009 1:32pm, 17 Jun 2009 First-time poster!!	Quote Pin I don't know whether to start in the sub 24hour or 24+ start time. This will be the longest race I've done by far so not sure how to estimate. Where are others starting?
flanker Jun 2009 3:22pm, 17 Jun 2009 10,658 posts	Quote Pin flanker if you're not sure, I'd go for the 10am start. It gives you more daylight, and even if you come in under 23 hours you probably won't be challenging for prizes so the time penalty doesn't matter. For your first one the time is probably irrelevant - finishing will be your goal? Oh, welcome to fetch too.
Nightjar Jun 2009 11:10pm, 17 Jun 2009 2,299 posts	Quote Pin Nightjar I'm thinking that maybe a shorter day might lead to feeling less dead during the early part of night. ? 24 hours ought to be long enough baring problems and then the extra 2 hours quite probably won't be enough to help!
