I am in for nice long run wth some friends.

Any chance of a lift to the start of the run from Pennant Hills anybody?
The wife and children will most likely come up for a swim and give me a lift home. Weather dependant.

Cheers
Brick

[Paul Every]

I'll be coming up for a run. Depending on the weather forecast, I may come up on the Monday and camp overnight.

I hope these were legitimately obtained and not collected during the Orchard run this morning???

That's why they call it the Orchard RUN and not the Orchald WALK

Make sure you let us know what the course is like for our TUESDAY run.

We will of course be there for the MTB on Monday arvo, camping, and run on Tuesday.  We will of course be earning the leave passes on saturday/sunday so couldnt possibly be in the mtns then!

Hi all,

I will probably try and join you for one of the shorter distances if thats OK. I cant seem to see any course maps for the shorter options though? Can someone point me in the right direction - I had a quick scan through the 09 thread too but couldnt see them.

Cheers,
Jules

[rodthehornet]

Julian,

Just turn up on the morning and all will be fine.  Let me know how far you want to go and you will get pointed in the right direction.

[Jane06]

I will be there too, like Julian I will be doing one of the shorter distances.  Really looking forward to it.

[Whippet gal]

Count me in.

No worries thanks for that..will probably aim for a gentle 20-25 I think...unfortunately my Garmin decided to pack it in and is in getting fixed so am keen to get an idea of the course and distance beforehand. Cheers!

[GraeGrae]

I'm in - probably for the full 40+k

[cliffold]

Beer tastes that much better after a run with friends while sitting in the creek  
Will be there for sure

Some might say you they've seen your Fatass run before.  

I'm pretty sure I'm coming but will probably do the 33km option like last year.

Thanks Ms Koala.  I'll PM you with the details.  Mouse and Timmeister are putting on the finish line feast of a century, or a new decade at least.  I'm planning on doing at least lookouts 1 & 2 mainly because it means I get to go past the Pisgah Aid Station a few times.  Still have fond memories of the tim tams there last year.

[Will]

I should be there as well.

33km will be plenty enough for me...

[moh]

I'll be there.  If I finish the 30km option I'll be very happy   Rodo should be there as well.

Cheers

[gogirl]

Im planning on doing the full run, looking forward to it.

Im transporting a couple of 6ft beer betters with me, wrapped in cotton wool of course. I will get the inside scoop on their form during the drive up and back.

[sailaway]

I'm in after missing out last year due to that damn kidney stone.  Considering doing the camping thing and will bring 25ltrs of water and ice to place at the Euroka Clearing/Darug Camping area.  Now to decide whether to run 30k or 42k. mmmmm

[Spud]

In for the full monty, riding solo.

[walshy2]

I'm in and want to do about 34km, so will just do the shorter version and a bit

I recall last year I ended up with Moh and through fear of getting lost stayed with him for the full monty despite not being prepared for that

sounds to me Moh that sticking to you this year should be safe

[rodthehornet]

Thanks for the replies.  Absolutely stellar field assembled for this year.  BMMC laying low, but I suspect a few might make it out on the home track.  If NPWS ask any questions, please use the Sergeant Schultz defence and dont mention me.  Couple of things:

* 7am start.  National anthem waits for noone.
* Parking will be at a premium back up the road as the gates dont open until 8am.
* Maps will be available.  I ran off 30 today.  Most have run the course before and is not real hard.
* Make sure you have a water container.  Ideally carry min. 1 litre and top up at the aid stops.
* Remember, we dont cross any natural drinking water out there.
* Bring a few drinks for after the run.  DONT leave them in your car.  If you are new to this run, trust me when I say if you go back to your car after the finish, you wont return.
* Dont forget the Oz gear.  $50 2XU voucher to the best dressed out there.
* If you are camping, Tallgeoff is up there the night before.  Look out for him and hopefully we can all get in the one camp area.

Thanks Brick and Sailaway for large containers.  If someone has one more it would be nice out at Pisgah.  Dont forget to fill it with water!!! and a bit of ice.  Also if someone has a large tub of sunblock, might be handy down at the causeway finish area.

If anyone has one more large water container, can they bring it along.  Thanks Brick and Sailaway for one already.  One more would be nice out at Pisgah.  Dont forget to fill it with water!!! and a bit of ice.  Also if someone has a large tub of sunblock, might be handy down at the causeway finish area.

I have 2 x  20 lt water containers I will bring those if you still need them.

Rod,

I work for a zinc stick and sunscreen company.

I'll bring sunscreen tubes and aussie colours zinc sticks for everyone!

[Coogee1979M]

Wiki page:

http://www.coolrunni...26_January_2010

It contains the roll call, links to Rod's posts with the race details and a link to the maps.

[rodthehornet]

Darrel and Will,

Thanks so much to both of you.  Both will be very handy on the day.  I remember last year lazing in the water with a beer or two in hand, and getting a touch of sunburn.  Didnt notice with the water on me.

Have collated a local roll call of names not above and I'm led to believe the following will also be in attendance:

She Who Must Be Obeyed (AKA Mrs Scam)
Prnce Donges
Princess Donges
The Welsh Exchange Student (the pack of females that seem to follow the WXS every where he goes including Red Bull promo girls)
Dr Phil (Flying Fist)
Mr G (weather dependant)
The Fat Kiwi
The Animal (B06)

I'll be there too. It's the only time my Aussie flag boxers get such a public airing!

[rodthehornet]

Scam,

Impressive roll up of BMMC members and associates. I would say Terry Meehan will also be out there doing his best for Yellow Rock. Couple missing off the roll call - Actionman, Shogun, ST who would have all livened up the faster runners on the day.  Still yet to see Cedric of Furber steps fame.

Send one of the Mods a PM and they'll sort it for you.

[winky]

Hi Guys,
Hope you don't mind if my hubby and I join you lovely folks for a run too?
- You can add Shot'is and Winks to your list (Thanks Tall Geoff and Big Bird for the courage and motivation!). Not sure how far at this stage, maybe not quite up for the full monty yet...
Thanks,
Winks
