I am yet to get mine sorted as there are quite a few options but I may well go for Tooting as well. There has been a conversation about GUCR but I honestly don't think I will ever get to that distance.
I want to play by the rules of Pedestrianism and try and become a Centurion (100 miles under 24 hours) in which Tooting is a good venue but one place that excite me is SDW 100

Gentle men and gentle ladies,
'tis done, I have entered the Thames Trot on 5th February 2010. It is perfect as I have friends who live in Abingdon who will house me overnight.
I am quite chuffed now as this gives me a real focus over the winter period and get me on the running track for interval and speed work
Cider IS carb loading
A great thinking plan as I prepare to head to the pub!
Winter tanners - yes
C2C - yes
Thames trot - yes
Track races - surely only for the insane
GUCR and Housman are at the same time......so not sure about which but one of the two
SDW....I totally forgot about this......what a good call!!
And some old favourites...Downland Ultra, South Downs Marathon, Steyning Stinger, 3FM
And back to the Ridgeway to do a sub 20
but it's off to the pub now and contemplate a long run this weekend as I haven't done more than a half since the Ridgeway
I have done it at last......
Crawley 12 hour Track 2/4/2011...here I come, this time I have bigger targets
Nice one Jerry. I might just do this if I fail to get into London.
Guys, Who is doing Winter Tanners?
Me
Good stuff. I like these basic hardcore events :-)
