ED road Race? (Lounged)

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Made space on my mantle piece for the Barry Barry Road Race Bear.

Will be competing in a "junior" race tommorrow just to loosen the muscles and avoid any mishaps on the day!

"Citius, Altius, Fortius"

Sean,

Tuesday I ran 2.1 miles in 13m30 sec, so that equated to 0.8 miles in 4m 08 Seconds. So, allowing for beer time, and traffic halts, under 5 mins and I'll be happy.....feeling sick, but happy... ;-)

If I clocked under 5 minutes I would be delerious - 10 and I'll be happy

[Hannah6_6]

Surfbobby, I have absolutely no intention of competing (if I compete against Mister Hannah6_6 aka David_Carnell our home life gets ruined) but will be there to help organise beers/pick up the pieces. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Tomorrow is my birthday I am not promising to be unhungover by 12.30 but I will be there!

[Brendan]

First one to the Clock House gets the drinks in.

Your Latin motto should be "Sitius, Barstuhlis, Falloveris" & if in BS Happy hour "Combustus-boxerus"

No doubt to look at my crap typing.....That should have read 5:08!!! So under 6 mins is the aim.....Or do i bust a gut totally and aim sub 5 mins....I will vomit though....

I'm a slow drinker you see...that's my problem....plus of course, this sort of sport is not normal for my training!

[Brendan]

Can we time the drinking separately? I'm sure I could make liberal with the arse kicking on that front.

[surfbobby]

So the bar has been set by the aptly named LostThePlot who is indending on running 4 min miles. Mate Good Luck, Gawd Bless, you can have the effing Bear. I'm with SMG, under 10 and I'll be happy, injury free and I'll be even happier (there's some dirty fighters taking part)

And it looks like the other bar will be set by Hannah6_6, many thanks to you Hannah. There will be a couple of other support staff (please bring your own High Viz Jackets)on hand too, so mucho gratis for that. No worries on the hangover front as we are breathalising all participants and those showing no signs of hangover will be made to down 2 pints (I reckon we make LostThePLot down 3 just for bringing 4 mins into the conversation ;-) )

Its shaping up folks, just don't let those nerves get to you, wouldn't want anyone to choke...well not from nerves anyway

[Brendan]

Choke? What you mean like lose-it from the stress of it all, forget the way to the Clock House and end up in the Silver Buckle downing pints and demanding to know from all and sundry, ?Did I win??

[LostThePlot]

A Bear is the prize?.....(Undoes running shoes and puts on slippers...)

Who'd want that! I want a cheap and nasty medallion, same as all the other races I enter!

[Help-Ma-Boab]

LTP, its more than your average Bear.

It's got my name on it anyways, so no need to worry!

[Brendan]

So the prize is a bear with Help-Me-Boab written on it.

[david_carnell]

Isn't "help me....boab" the noise you make at the end of the race?

[AllyCat]

I'm hoping someone is going to be there with a camera snapping away..... and that the photos will be duly posted for us to examine.....?! I need to know who wore the "skimpiest" running shorts:))

[SeanMacGabhann]

shorts?????

jeans for me

[Brendan]

Documenting things like this photographically is never a good idea.

I shall ask my lovely wife to bring the camera.

[AllyCat]

Oh please do Brendan... I'm going to be missing it and the Onion has said he's going to take part - and that I have to see!

[surfbobby]

There was a film production company from Clapham interested in broadcasting the event. I told them it was a stricktly ED affair thankyouverymuch

[lozzyloz]

LIKE - Don't DO IT !

[SeanMacGabhann]

nice one lozzy

Tell you what, if there is a film crew of any sort, I'm stopping in the Plough with me paper

[Help-Ma-Boab]

The hour is almost amongst us. Godd luck and i will see you on the other side

[SeanMacGabhann]

good to see you up so bright and early after last night Boab

[Brendan]

I'm fit and ready. Even been in training me. Last night I downed a pint of Guinness.
