That is a great time Jock, I see you have a huge record of past races on your profile here - my first half was New Forest in 2000, I ended up walking a lot in the second half!

Cheers chaps :) thanks Contro mate. Miss our days on the lash.

Entered Goodwood Marathon on 26th September 2021. Not very inspiring as laps of the race track but if I train through the summer I can bag a GFA which is 3.12.20 at the mo.

Just miss the London boys and wanna get back there.

Tigs - you fancy joining me for a jog around ? and anyone else for that matter. :)

I like this. I like this alot. Brighton I am still looking at. Goodwood sounds different.

Hmm, I might have a look at Goodwood, backup for London if it does not go ahead...

Sounds abit dull as 3 mile laps, but great time of year (if goes ahead!) and just gets in before cut off for GFA. It could be a jollyboys outing :)

I know a couple of people who did the Snetterton Marathon, which is the same idea, repeated 3 mile laps round a race track, and they said they had lost the will to live by the end...

No, but a little bit of distraction from the grim misery of the whole thing doesn't go amiss.
