Only now I have gone into long sleeve mode!
I should hopefully be up to speed by then. The Founders is a do-er for me although I fear eating your dust at Portsmouth as I am struggling to find the time to get in a run of over 12 miles, what with work (away again this w/end), weddings and the like. However I am planning on doing the Witham Boxing Day 5 (ultra you say????) and running the 22 miles back from the finish to my parents house on a belly full of turkey!!!
So gentle men (and gentle ladies)you should have received your TT50 emails on Monday. The mandatory equipment seems pretty simple:
We just have to add:
4. Run 50 miles with minimal height gain/loss as fast as you can

Any ideas how i get there for the 8.30am start and have my car at the finish? Want to try and avoid an overnight stay if poss.
How are you guys getting there, as the trains from me don't seem to get me there on time unless i get the 00:30 train and then
have about 5hrs worth of waiting at various stations (not an option in the middle of winter),

Got the same challenge myself. Where you coming in from?
Looking at how things are it probably will be an overnight stay due to the fact we kick off quite early on.

Coming in from Hampton Court Station (next to the palace) but have just seen that if i get the 5:34 train from Surbiton i get to Oxford at 7:15
so may have a 30min wait for the 7:45 pick up by the organisers but if others are there at 7:15 could share a taxi to the Race HQ which
i believe is 3miles away from Oxford Station. So it appears i have a plan of sorts, be interesting to see what price the train tickets are.
Managed to tweak my ankle last night, could feel my toes trying to grip from inside my trainers on the slippy bits, but didn't notice the sore ankle until i had cooled down from the run. Might have to be the dreaded treadmill this evening. Deep joy!!!

No direct links means I would have to catch several trains hence the reason for staying overnight on the thursday otherwise I won't make it unless someone drove me down there.
5.34am!!!!! Immune, that is an early start.
Thursday?
Knowing Richard he will be running there.......now that is an idea
I have yet to discuss this with George but I think it maybe worth us taking two cars, dropping one at the end and then drive up together to the start. Run it and then drive back to collect the other car.
If you guys have got access to cars we can do a shuttle run but as some of you will be way faster than me you may have to wait an hour or so at the end.

Great idea although at 88 miles from my house I dont fancy it
Oops I meant Friday night :-) Not a bad idea Jerry.
Purdey,
What happened to his JOGLE run in the end?
I have to admit that I was getting a bit bored with the build up so switched off a little and when I saw no news I assumed he got into trouble.
