Hi All

I am now entered, and the race is now full (e-mail from the Race Director). So this is the first BIG target for 2012, and I

know a certain UltraJerry is also entered, so good excuse to try and arrange some training runs together end of this year/

beginning of next. I know it seems a long way off, but the weeks and months go really quick and based on the excellent

job the Centurion Running team did with the NDW26.2/50/100 last weekend, I am sure TP100 will be extremely well organised

and we will be well looked after at the CP's.

I hope everyone is keeping well.

2011 Goals - Run 2 x 100+ mile races (16+17/04/11 London Mara x 4 - 22hrs8mins)

5K: Sub 19 (24/07/11 - Bushy Park 18:55)

10K: Sub 41 (19/03/11 40:50 - 2nd 10k of below race)

Half Mara: Sub 1:32 (19/03/11 Dorney Lake 1:26.50)

Mara: Sub 3:15 (on a road course)

Full already? Sad

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

Hi Purdey

Yes, I know, surprising the interest that Ultras are getting these days. I think the low number of 100milers in the UK and the

excellent feedback Centurion have received for there first races have meant a lot of people signing up for the TP100 already.

I think, as with most 100's there will be a few who unfortunately do not make the start line for various reasons, so it is probably

worth asking to be put on the reserve list, assuming you want to do the race of course Wink .

What's next on the list for you? Out of interest, did your course record for 54321 stay intact over the weekend?

Mr Immune

Certainly and we have a good few LDWA events which are equidistant between us in:

Winter Tanners - 15th January 2012 (£3 entry Shocked )

Punchbowl Marathon - 12th February 2012 (£5 entry Shocked Shocked )

Slow events but good to get some of the Surrey Hills and Greensand Ridge in to our training and both 30 miles long, these would really fit in nicely with some back to backs

Kent and Sussex haven't got much in the way of challenges in the early part

Hi Immune. Yes, course record intact. I ran 3:39 and the winner on Sun ran a 4:04. I don't imagine it will hold for long though! Next up for me is Leadville this weekend.

Hello folks! Finally sorted out my access to this group (DraconianOne from RW forums - met a few of you on the Ridgeway 85 last year)

Figured I'd get my entry in before they closed but was too late. On waiting list now although James reckons there'll inevitably be some dropouts.

Hi Jezza/Rob

I might be up for the WInter Tanners. Be good time on feet rather than full out running. Will double check with Mrs I,

good-o

I've not heard from the Games 100 organisers.......and I've mailed them too Sad

Although its only 21 days before my wedding, I am thinking Mrs UB might like a toned body for the honeymoon so I might opt for the SDW100 instead. Any thoughts?

and I'd get a buckle....just like those yanks!
