Have managed to get 3 teams together despite many sick notes and a few doing something called work. I'll turn up early and register the 3 teams and then wait near registration with a Blue Seagulls flag as identification. 6.45 should be good meeting time. It says 7pm start but I'm expecting queues at registration and delayed start.
The super ego team is [MENTION=30744]Pembury[/MENTION] [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] + one super fast ringer from big nuts
The ego team is @Greg Bobkin [MENTION=24975]St Leonards Seagull[/MENTION] [MENTION=26634]Simgull[/MENTION] @Gypsy King
The wooden spoon team is +1 slow ringer [MENTION=474]Mr Blobby[/MENTION] [MENTION=1508]BenElton'sBrother[/MENTION] @knocky1
The runners in bold did it last year so each can be team captain. Duties to explain course and have final say in running order if team can't work it out themselves. All dog leg runners going last have the hardest run. I put forward A team the ringer, B team St Leonards Seagull and Knocky for team C.
Let me know if you can't make it on the day or you'll let 3 runners down.

Respect for doing that in the heat.[emoji122]Well done Ninja. South Downs marathon today was roasting - not really any other word for it. Lovely surroundings though and great to see a load of running pals. Kept the sub-5 marathon trend going (today was my 10th) with a 4.59 [emoji38]

I'm up for that - when is it?We should run mob-handed in BHA shirts
Tried to run 10 miles this morning. Absolutely died on my arse.....way too hot.
Strange I ran 10 miles at 7am and felt fine but ran 4.5 yesterday at 7:45 and was blowing out of my arse.
I slowed the pace today by around 30 seconds per mile but never felt uncomfortable.
It's going to be hot Wednesday so I'd rather steer clear of replica tops. I've got a blue vest which is Albionish.
Final call. Just been to register all 3 teams to cut out us flaffing about on the evening. Vest numbers are with us. Don't wear your new Brighton shirt, unless you're happy to put safety pins through it. They want to start at 7pm but expecting a fair bit of flaffing about. So see you all around 6:45. Anyone with a last minute hitch better let us know by posting on this thread. They are expecting at least 300 runners and ready for up to 400. That's it from me till Wednesday unless someone pulls out.............

Great - do we need to bring our own safety pins as per the joining instructions?
I'm up for that - when is it?
Yes. One number so 2 or 4 safety pins per person needed. I'll have spares if anyone can't find any.
