    Can I be the 1st to say feck ya ultraman for organising this, now I have to run it. I enjoyed my year off ultras last year!

    Should be a bit of craic, and remember the quicker you run the sooner the pain stops. This is my new mantra.

    Based on this post I can finally unveil that ultraman1 is in fact memory man Jimmy Magee. Only he could describe a field so eloquently and with such insight.

    The only reason I'm turning up. ultramans invite to me guaranteed me limitless flapjacks. I hope he wasn't winding me up.

    Krusty makes his own, they're delicious. There'll be a table where he'll leave his stash for the race, see you there after the first 5k.

    Ok, so my pacing strategy is now determined by how hungry the rest of the field look prior to the start. And how good a lock the clown has on the cookie jar :D

    If I can carry my stash on my back over the mountains for 26 miles, I'm sure I can hold onto it for the duration of a trot around a pretty forest. :eek:

    That's a very reasonable time of the day to be kicking things off. Well done to the race organisers, whoever they are!

    Where are we parking? Scoopage after? Will there be medals for everyone?

    I'm not going if I don't get a medal. Oh and I want a cert as well, to say I'm great. :D
