Got the great news today via an hyperlink in an email from the Essex Bling Lord Mike Mason - I've got an unsupported entry for the 145 mile Grand Union Canal Race (GUCR) 2010.
Entry list here - http://www.gucr.co.uk/template.asp?doc=235
The race objectives are fairly straightforward but the distance is long, and the terrain relatively homogeneous which will bring its own challenges. From Birmingham to London in a oner. Woohoo.
Completion will qualify me for the Spartathalon 2011 so my plans are falling nicely into place.
Any tips for the race or training for such a long bit of basically flat running much appreciated.

Congratulations on gaining an entry Brian! I see Tomo has an entry too.
No advice other than to pick the best brains you can for expert advice. William Sichel is usually pretty good at responding to emails. Wouldn't hurt to ask him.
Congratulations! Start by forgetting all you learned / trained for the "hills" of UTMB. There will be plenty of specific training terrain around Milton Keynes. The whole thing should be a piece of cake for a gilet noir man like you, providing you prepare accordingly.........

Well done Brains.
Seems like a waste of perfectly good knees.
Are sure you are not a ginger ;¬)
Perhaps it will make you stronger like it says it my pocket Nietzsche.
Slightly.
Good luck Brian, I'm sure you'll do it.....but you may need a very long playlist on your i-Pod.
OMFG! Why oh why? Have you not been harping at me to run more hills :-) Happy training.
Good luck to the original Random Scottish Punter, unsupported too thats my boy!
Cosgrove village, near the cut off point at the Navigation, would be happy to support you all on the GUCR 2010 if only we could see the date and details on your website.
