Anyone else looking to enter the UTLD 100/ 50 next year? How tight are TES on the 100 entries?
50 and a 66 mile this year. Want a go at the 100 in 2015. I'll give it a crack.
Just completed my first ultra and hoping I might get up to a 50 or 60 next year. Does look pretty good.

Does look a good circuit of that's what you've just ticked. Might be tempted by the Half tour next year before taking on the long version. Well done if so, good day for it.
The weeks certainly feel like they're passing as if they were minutes!Went up Snowdon on the weekend and ran as much downwards as was possible (obvious bank holiday queues). I'm really not sure if the horseshoe is going to be in the locker but I'm a stubborn idiot that would sooner bleed than fail.On the equipment front, I've been offered a brand new OMM Cypher smock for a reasonable price and just wondered if anybody had any beta on sizing? I'm 6ft 2" with about a 40" chest. I hear they're 'athletically cut' but don't know whether a medium is too big or small since I have the option of buying either a medium or large one.
Yep that clashes with the Totley Exterminator and still expect to be marshalling in some capacity so won't make it. Plan on doing the Longshaw sheep dog fell race this Saturday morning though, a nice five mile loop round Burbage valley by the looks of it.
Looks like you're getting some good advice so I'll just add that if you fancy the trip over the Runcorn Bridge (saw your Straight Outa Cronton sig) you'd be welcome for a run on the hills with our lot on a Wednesday night - I'm with Helsby. Hill runs each week till the light goes then it thins out a bit and people switch to road or don the headtorches.We just had a great race last week on Frodsham Hill, the Webster Wobbler http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/helsby-running-clubs-tribute-former-7682944Those little hills definitely punch above their weight, especially if you string em together into a Hills of Hell session (thanks Dave Douglas). Keep an eye on http://helsbyrunningclub.wordpress.com/ or https://twitter.com/runhelsby if you'll pardon the spam.
I'll be making an appearance at both Longshaw on Saturday and Shelf Moor next weekend - look out for a yellow with a green chest stripe Staffs' Moorland vest Need to get some short race experience in ready for the British Fell Relays later on in October. Are any of you guys in clubs doing that event? Looks like a good day out.
Steve that's brilliant thank you. I'll absolutely head along one evening soon and look forward to meeting you. I know Dave D too and what a running beast he is!!
