Mine took a year! And a lot of toing and froing. Fortunately I had lots of evidence and lots of people helped me to follow up with even more evidence, many of them Fetchies. It was a rigmarole, to be sure!  G

Their website says its 12 weeks to consider if a new category can count as a record then a minimum of 12 weeks to judge that record (unless you pay the priority fee - which you have to pay for each step). But guess if you dont and if there is a debate then it can go on for just about ever! What time did you do?

Some of the world records are now getting seriously fast! £4,500 is stupid! But its their game I guess |

I've put it in my portfolio but haven't signed up yet. One of the clubs I'm in (yes, I'm a club tart!) is doing it as autumn club outing and I thought I'd join in. When you say mixed terrain, it's not cross-country or anything, is it? I was hoping it was fast, flat tarmac? G

That's the one Ally - I still think it's a finer place to set the record for fastest marathon in Highland dress! G

57.5 Degrees of Pain
But surely 'Highlsnd Dress' is an affectation of the lowlanders . I assume some of the delay was in deciding what should properly be worn under a list for 26.2 miles? |
