'Guess My Time' Competition Entries

Marco sent a text with his guess just 10mins before the 6pm deadline making 38 entries in total.

As I mentioned I've recalculated everyone's guesses as the race has been reduced by 1 mile to 54miles. The guesses range from 8hrs 25mins 38secs (9.22pace) to 11hrs 59mins 40secs (13.20pace).

They break down as follows ....

under 10hrs: 10 guesses
between 10hrs - 10hrs 30mins: 13 guesses
between 10hrs 30mins - 11hrs: 11 guesses
over 11hrs: 4 guesses


I know some people don't like guessing as they think it might offend me if they guess too slow but it's all a bit of fun and since I started running ultras in 2007 it has become part of my tradition!!

I called into Morrisons on the way home from work and bought some food for the race. I just need to sort it all out into what I'm starting with and what is going into the two drop bags we are allowed.

I'll be taking my netbook with me and will try and update at the end of the race. If you want to text me during the race please do (07905 218162) but please note I won't be able to reply until the end of the race! I can't afford to waste the time it would take me to type in the words.

William Sichel is running very well after just over 3 days. He is in third place behind two Germans and right on his target. Shaun and his support team are doing a great job keeping his blog updated. You can leave a comment to encourage him if you wish. I'm sure he would appreciate it.

Next update from the Premier Inn in Guisborough tomorrow night.

John, I guessed yesterday and also Silke claimed she had provided a guess. We cannot find our names on the spreadsheet.
:-(
Don't you like us anymore?

Good luck for your race!
We are looking forward to reading your report and analysis.
