Well suprise, suprise! I play bass too! Although not very well!

I used to play in a duo, many moons ago, that played in pubs and clubs. I also dabble with: acoustic guitar, drums, and saxophone!

I'm still waiting for a response from this bloke who's connected with the race, I tried to apply on-line about 3 weeks ago, but got to the point where I entered all my bank details then hit a wall. Anyway spoke to this bloke I just want to make sure he's no record of me before I send in a postal application.

As this is my first race is this what everyone would recommend to apply through the post?

Thanks

Did you use the John Schofield site when you tried to enter online? I always use this site for online entries and I haven't had a problem yet!

Thanks Obi, I've just applied through this site and was successful

There's no going back now. I'm doing Race for Life this Sunday which doesn't worry me that much but this 10k I've just entered will. Gotta give it a go though

Good for Dimple!

Don't worry, if your not gonna win it(your not gonna win it are you?), then all you have to worry about is not finishing last!

And, if you can run the distance, then I'll guarantee you wont be last!

My first race was a 10k, and, before I entered, I checked last year's results(using the same site) to see what the finishing times for the back markers were. As I knew what time I ran 10k in training was quite a bit better than this I knew I wouldn't be last!

Enjoy!

Obi.

No I ain't gonna win it there's no doubt about that! I've just looked at last years results, and I now think I'll have to start pushing myself a bit more in training.

Not to worry though :eek:
