7s and 13s!
Looks like lady luck is playing with me.
I have 12FT on the 13th at 7am.
And in the Nov GNW100s I have race #13 and it will be my 7th attempt at the full monty.
I guess as long as the 7s and 13s balance out, it's all good right?

...and no I ain't superstitious, just a geek when it comes to numbers.

12ft on the 13th at 7am.....................12,13,7
GNW on the 12th and 13th and 7th attempt....................12,13,7
Whoa, it must be your year.

So, it looks like there are a number of us running 12Foot this year. I haven't seen anyone, other than Martin's 8Foot plan, suggesting they'll be doing anything less, when usually there are a handful or more doing just the 6ft leg. Are there any lurkers planning this?

[B1orB2]

I'll be doing something similar to what I did last year. From the 7am start at the tree I'll drive out to Deviation, then run out to pluvi then back with someone to the caves, and back to the car.

If people want to get a lift around to Deviation in the morning, or a lift back to the tree in the arvo then PM me to let me know. I can also do a drink and food drop for people if they want.

[EverReadyBunny]

My hat is in the ring and I know of a couple of others intending who haven't posted. Obviously flying under the radar.  

Looking forward to it and catching up with everyone.

Yeah Bunny, it's been a while!

B1orB2, a drop at Deviation sounds great. I'll see you Sat morning at the Tree.

If it's OK I'd like to take up the offer of dropping some supplies off at the Deviation.

Thanks

Hmmm, I'll be back on Thursday 11th... maybe I could do something here...

Do it DJB.
I always like it to have somebody like yourself* to chase.
Will you be using your Inov-8 X Talon 190 if you do run?


*A little bit faster than me.

Enduro and I will be starting at around 6am if we leave a bag or bags on the car could you  bring it with you please

[jcooper]

Anybody starting from around 5:30-6 and aiming for around 12 hours

Josh, I think most people who take the early start do so because they are slower. Not sure how many you'll have with you at 5:30am with a 12hr finish target.

[jcooper]

Oh ok well is there any aiming for around 12, can be closer to 11 or closer to 13 I dont mind just around that time

[EverReadyBunny]

Josh you should see if you can change your wave or is it too late.

There are a few of us starting at 7am and a couple of them are fast girls who could do 12-13 hours.

Just a smidge under 14 hours would be nice for me.

Josh I will run with you aiming for close to 13hrs.
If I am running OK.
Only time will tell.

I think Gordi is looking for some pacemakers as he has a crack at the record !

[EverReadyBunny]

What's the current record ?

I wouldn't be surprised if we bump into him on the GNW100 on Saturday

I think Shogun holds the record at 10:23 (2008?)

DJB can show him the way.
He should be able to do the course without getting lost.

I think you are correct vstaR.

[jcooper]

Gordi has gotten soft and has pulled out, what's that now 3rd race this year??? Maybe he is realizing u need to slow down a bit to race faster

He hasn't pulled out he has changed his training for Oxfam I think.

He was fast enough to finish in front of you and me at NF100.

Yeah he is going for a good trail walker time oh and I agree he is far from slow just could be faster

[ratdog]

Best of luck you crazy kids.

Anyone backing up for the C2S?

[gogirl]

I wont be running this now. Decided to do something a little closer to home instead.  

[Sir Runalot]

I'm out too! Was hoping to be there but injury has forced my hand. Have a great run everyone, I'll be there in spirit. SR

Edited by Sir Runalot, 11 August 2011 - 10:58 PM.

[Horrie]

Another one who won't be there this year. No reason other than being soft. Have fun out there everyone.

[Beaver]

Run it out hard and suffer back.

Enjoy.

[Spud]

Looking forward to gettin' jiggy with the mistress again tomorrow.
See you at the Tree.

[Ponkey]

Have fun everyone, would like to join you butI have an appointment with the "pain jailor" who will be throwing away the key somewhere on the GNW100 course tomorrow!

[runhard]

Good Luck you crazy people.  Run safe.

Ponkey I think the jailing is optional. I heard there is an iced tea group in attendance. Admit you love the hurt locker.

This 12 foot is turning into a repeat of six foot for me.
I think I am in the wrong wave.
Hope to be finished by midnight. Sunday.

Yeah, yeah, blah, blah.....you know you've just warmed up when you get to Caves House, then the power kicks in!

For everyone left still planning on turning up, latest BOM forecast for Katoomba is min 3C, max 12C. Couldn't find a forecast for Black Range unfortunately.

[EverReadyBunny]

3 degree's. Brrr. Looks like we picked the coldest night of the week.

Yep the just warmed up bit is when I get to Caves House, sit by the fire and eat some of their dodgy chips

3 degrees ?. Guess after running the Canberra Bush captital a few weeks ago in -7 degrees that should feel like a heatwave to me

Starting out at 6am in the hope I'll still have some sunshine on the way back. Good luck everyone and see you somewhere along the way

Trust me, that is not the coldest night of the week up here!  3 degrees is actually warming up.......

Have fun out there everyone - enjoy the track!

[walshy2]

Good luck to you all tomorrow.

enjoy

[EverReadyBunny]

I don't know Koala1.
You keep saying come and run up here so we turn up in spades to run in your backyard and suddenly you go off to "work" when I thought you had given that stuff up.

[RawAussieAthlete]

I'm in for 7am!
Midnight finish sounds good ERB

[shogun]

12FT always brings me back to CR. Would love to be fit enough to be out there. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Perhaps I'll be back with you all next year trying to shave off 23 minutes!!!

Cheers
Shogun

[Sir Runalot]

Hope y'all are havin' a good time out there. Looking forward to hearing how it all went. SR

good on ya Shogun. I hope you can get back out there again. Your 10.23 was a superb run

[Martin Dugdale]

Shogun, I think your record has just been blitzed. Ewan came past me about 3k after the river crossing at about 2.30 and leaping up the hill. my guess is the new record is sub 10
full report later

[Whippet Man]

From Spud: Ewan 1st, B2orB1 second and Spud third in 11:04. No time for the first couple but clearly fast.
