 ernie to win - based on nothing other than i met him at GUC and he seemed like a *hard* bloke 
and he is having a really good year with his running so far

 do you like a nice *hard* bloke then? 
|
 |
 i saw the leaders come through about 12:02pm, so about 10 minute mile pace therefore my prediction is 63 hours for the winner. LucyG - I'm not going to be able to marshal now due to reasons I can't really go into - I emailed AT last night, but could you pass on the message if he hasn't seen the email and pass on my apologies. my initials are GS by the way. thanks

 Well done Lucy, great pics. (pinched one for our website, please shout if you are not happy!) Ernie and Gary or "KIWI" and "GLORIFIED TRAFFIC WARDEN" as we like to call them, are on their way !

 why kiwi???? is this an "in" joke or am i completely wrong about his nationality?
|
 |
 exactly
|
 |
 o i c garanteed to hit the spot i have txt him to tell him to slow down - that's too fast!!! not that he will pick it up since i assume they are all saving batteries
|
 |
 "long haired Antipodean" normally hits the spot aswell.
|
 |
 i didn't see paddy when i popped down earlier, but I could only stay for about 10 minutes as i had somewhere else to be. i guess his run walk strategy will see him coming through later on

 I have just been for a run along the Thames at Windsor and I saw about half a dozen of these guys. I asked them what event they were doing and couldn't believe it when they told me what it was. They all looked less tired than me to!
