Good luck to all.

That's why I didn't tell you. Knew you were weak.

Wow, given my impression of heodds that's outstanding.
Time to lay down some serious training.

This. Good luck all of you. Looking forward to following the training. Jen and Tom, I noticed you're both supported runners...what kind of support do they allow on the GUCR? I guess I could look it up myself, but it's lazier to ask.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Seriously?I'm in then. If you would have me?MTA: The Turtle is pretty supportive, so am sure he'd be in too.
Not sure my single 30 miler is a real qualification as support though.
2 drop bags does make for a lot of Gu to carry.I'm in Oxford, so am pretty close to most of the race (an hour or so drive), and am very happy to support in any way. If you and Tom are keen then let me know and I'll work around what suits you two best. Happy to crew (if you want hot food, you can have it), and would also pace (but I think you can very easily find better people for that).
The door actually needs fixing at the moment (damn wood panels), and some new stained glass...that isn't among your skills is it?I think Tom knows Daniel Craig...well, he looks a bit like him (if you squint a bit)...so he might be best to ask?How long before and after the race will you be over here? Would be good to at least drink with you if the crewing doesn't happen!
Damn it. I wrote the Daniel Craig bit before reading the post by 'Purses'.
Late to the show...yes, I am in
Third attempt but last year was absolutely horrific with continual rain for about 15-20 hours so it just drained me. I have been extremely lucky (!!!!) to get in three times so really need to get it over, done and out of the system. I will hopefully be taking on a pacer at Tring (Breakfast stop) but am being very careful who I choose as I don't think there will be much running from that point.
