Agree with the 9/1 .... it was ideal for Regensburg last year as it was almost spot on for run between aid stations, then walk through the aid stations

Thanks Meldy. I could cope with the tutting it was the shoulder barging that was annoying. Admittedly it must have been a pain for the fast folk to have a fat pirate walking in their way after a mile.

Oh I dont know ... if they have done races before they will be quite used to that

 Nice one muffin was a lot further back from you gassing with liverbird about cheese and the price of wine. Did look out for you but couldn't find you. Did see a pirate and put it on the spotting thread but to far away to say hello. daft question I throught you where a lady purely from the avertar are you a young lad by any chance?

I han't seen that one Melds. I'm doing the smaller Longest Day one from Dorney the 15th April (week before Chiltern Dipper?).


At the risk of sounding like I am repeating myself, I am doing that one too, but the smaller version!

Cake - Muffin is a lady, I can confirm this after meeting her the week before....although I obviously didn't look too closely as we were cycling at the time.

Excellent that means I can rest easy after saying I’d say hello and not being able to spot the lass although this does mean there is a boy pirate out there I’ve never met. Anyone know who it is?

Usual Monday 10k for me at lunchtime, this time in 42 mins dead which is definitely a pb.  Effort miles (3 & 5) both done in 6 mins 5, as I was running with a much better athlete which spurred me on.  Dreaming of a sub 40 some day!

LMAO Cake!!! Does your dyslexia extend to gender recognition? Muffin is female. Unless I've been kidding myself for the last 23 years .

I'm a bit gutted tonight, having come out of work this evening and found my beautiful cross bike stolen, lock cut off.
It was a present from my husband, and I was really enjoying commuting and training on it. Feeling v sad.
