Velociraptor Jan 2024 5:19pm, 15 Jan 2024 67,322 posts	0 Velociraptor I didn't see anyone pointing and laughing at my racing shoes when I took five and a half hours to get round last year. Wear what you find most comfortable for longer runs.
Little Miss Happy Jan 2024 6:16pm, 15 Jan 2024 6,855 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I don't have any racing shoes - other than that I make sure that the trainers I'm going to race in are worn in but don't have too many miles on them. Wear what you're comfortable in.

Charlesvdw Jan 2024 7:51pm, 15 Jan 2024 172 posts	0 Charlesvdw The magic of super shoes (I have had the different iterations of the Vaporfly) is gone after less than 100 miles. But that doesn't stop me from continuing to use them as a training shoe. Most of my super shoes I have run 300 miles in. That makes their price tag more acceptable imho.

SailorSteve Feb 2024 1:38pm, 14 Feb 2024 2,513 posts	0 SailorSteve Yep, I’ve had the same Nicholls595 Once I went into the “amend my entry” (I think it was called that) section, I had the option to put a different time into the appropriate field if I’d wanted to. But I didn’t. Hope you get out of the loop😵‍💫
Nicholls595 Feb 2024 1:43pm, 14 Feb 2024 31,544 posts	0 Nicholls595 I tried again a little later and it let me access my entry and add a finishing time.

AndyS Feb 2024 3:00pm, 16 Feb 2024 2,638 posts	0 AndyS Just had the email confirming my volunteer shift in Blackheath - it says "Blue Baggage Lorries 21,22,23, 27 & 28"* - I hope to see some of you there before you set off! *Note that if last year's anything to go by, we will be in the blue start area, but it won't be those truck numbers.
