I'm facebooking a few now and can ask the Fit Bitches if they have a spare girl. Otherwise we can pick one up at start or as [MENTION=30744]Pembury[/MENTION] said we shuffle the pack and people do 2.5K extra.
Possibly!
Should be OK. I've got a spare Fit Bitch runner, Irene, 25" 5k pace runner but she'll still be first spare for the Fit Bitches. So we promote [MENTION=26896]GypsyKing[/MENTION] to Super Egos and [MENTION=3975]ben[/MENTION]EltonsBrother to the B team.
Plan B is find another one if we lose her.
Plan C someone has to run twice.

4 - you have to finish together as a team as well!
I'd be happy to take it on, I've rested well from the weekend but I'll giving it everything tonight, in true Gerrard fashion - WE DON'T LET THIS SLIP!

I'll see you all down there... I forgot my safety pins, so if anyone has any going spare??
Yep plan c someone runs twice and 3 finish together.
Plan D would be hard to organise but would be the first runner from the super egos running leg 2 for team C, then finishing lap5 with Super egos and going straight back out for leg 5 with Team C. So one runner runs 4 times.
Plan E would be the same but a different runner from Super Egos would finish leg 5 with team C. So two runners run three times.
The super ego doing leg 5 would either have to wait for leg 5 of team C or chase them down over 2.5km. Depending on whether they were team c have been lapped or not. Sounds fun. I'll jot it down.
But I'll be singing this for our 12th woman to make sure my head doesn't overload.
Come on Irene, oh, I swear what he means,
At this moment, you mean everything..........?
We just lost Irene. So I suggest plan E. Two super egos are running three times!
I'll supply the safety pins.

Instead of anyone running multiple times, wouldn't it be better to just get someone like we did last year? I know one guy who might still be up for it, but if not –*I'm sure they'll be someone?

Superb running gents, really good event and well marshalled - by [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION]! Good to meet some new people as well, and put a name to [MENTION=26896]GypsyKing[/MENTION] years after we first met!
Surely an NSC tradition now - excellent event and a different challenge entirely.

Great to meet you all and fantastic running everyone! Thanks to [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] for some great organisation!
Great pics, great event and great evening - special thanks to [MENTION=9083]Anchorman[/MENTION] for turning up at the last minute to make us up to a full team.
Thanks to [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] for the organising.
Be interesting to see the results seeing most other entrants were from running clubs I don't think we disgraced ourselves.

Well done chaps.
Managed to get my release to my client, all the while thinking "thank **** I'm not running a fast 2.5K in this heat. Twice."

Really enjoyed tonight, whilst hot it was nice still conditions and great to be part of a team. I'll pop into the jog shop Friday afternoon and get the splits.
Good 3 pints after the run with [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] who managed the ego's brilliantly.
Special mention to @Gypsy King who is one fast ****er in the last 100 yards. And well done [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] who ran the 5k non stop in those conditions.

Well done team. Thoroughly jealous.
Guy with 3C on his shirt has been doing Hove Parkrun almost as long as me. Never spoken to him in all the years, but seems like a smashing chap.

Fantastic event – great to meet new NSCers as well as catch up with some familiar faces. Superb running all round –*I was certainly feeling the effects of Saturday's little jaunt over the downs and probably went off too quickly on the first leg but glad the Egos got the job done and managed to hold off a Hornets team (again) at the line.
From one team last year to three this year*– we'll have a running club-sized contingent next year if that carries on! Thanks again to [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] the gaffer – fully deserving of a new contract in my opinion

Hi all, wondering if you can help. I have a niggling hamstring injury as well as on off issues with my lower back. I can still run to a reasonable level, but feel the niggles just getting worse. Can any of you recommend a sports physio That you have used, feel like I need some expert advice/treatment. Many thanks in advance
