TP100... The official thread

Forewarned is forearmed. Or forelegged. Although four legged might be better

Have fun! Shall be watching the tracker and cheering you on!

Good luck indeed. Looking forward to the tracking, and then hopefully a successful report etc

Run hard, run fast, don't die...

The first two thirds of this are the exact opposite of my race strategy. Last year I think a large part of my failure could be attributed to being ahead of the likes of Nick Roberts etc until I stopped... The third part though is the corner stone of my strategy!

Fourlegged would be awesome... I could do with having two spare

Does the Northern Witch wish to cast a prediction??

Whoop de whoop... Just got this email from the organisers:

As it currently stands, there are flood alerts in place along the entire length of the course... some are under sitting water, however all are passable with an added level of care. If the race were to have taken place today, we would have been able to hold the course as planned... What happens now is entirely in the hands of the weather. If the course receives any more rain before Saturday, it is highly likely that the flood alerts will turn to warnings or severe warnings rendering vast stretches impassable, under water and extremely dangerous... The forecast for Thursday night and Friday is currently for heavy rain around and directly on the Thames.

As always James is doing an amazing job keeping runners in the loop and doing his best to make sure the race goes ahead, but I really hope they don't have to reroute... their "b" course is a series of out and backs along the first part of the course which is certainly MUCH safer but the "a" course literally finishes a couple of KM from my house. Also out and backs will be boring as hell...

good luck

Best of luck Ewan!

Fingers crossed for the weather. I'll be setting off on my Sussex coastal half marathon not long after you set off. I'll not be far off in elevation though

Take it easy fella and finish the b##tard!

Good Luck Ewan - Hope you manage to enjoy it this time.

[Jack Hughes]

I assume it is going ahead. Bit of flooding.
