So..... running - Page 131

The grim was amazing. 1900 runners! We were warned at the start that anything that looked bigger than a puddle wasn't a puddle

There was a cargo net crawl that would have been a muddy crawl under normal circumstances. Because it was so wet, it was nearly waist deep clay and like quicksand. Everyone got covered head to toe, I got stuck and lost a shoe, which I had to get back by sticking my arm up to my shoulder into the clay and then scoop it all out

They told us in advance the course was actually 8.5 miles, not 8, down from 9. On the day they said it was in fact 9 again

I'd do it again. There's a night version in the pitch black in February

Is that from work to home?

Yeah mate. 8 degrees and I got lost twice lol

Had to stop at Canada Water and find my way at Surrey Quays.

Wasn't too bad... though should have been faster.

Aye, step it up a bit. I ran faster than that through this lot

BBx · 08-12-2011, 15:04

It was only because I didn't know where I was going!

Would rather not have ended up somewhere hideous.... like Beckenham
