My Bath Half race number arrived this morning...😂

[Sandraj39]

I excitedly removed it from the envelope and held it proudly to my chest to show my two sons, who were having breakfast at the time, saying something along the lines of "Ta da! It's here!" They both looked at me slightly quizzically before saying... "Paul? Who's Paul?"

Yes, the good old organisers had sent me the wrong race number by mistake! We all had a good old laugh about it whilst wondering if maybe "Paul" could run in my number and get me a faster time?? 🙂

[Frank-ntj Graduate10]

Oh dear, never mind there might be a bonus side to it, you might starting off with the elites! 😉

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Frank-ntj]

I would be flattened in the stampede I think, Frank!😮

[Frank-ntj Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

You could always slide into the slip stream and get pulled along! 😆

[givman]

Ha Sandra! Or is it Paul from now on??

Gra🏃😄

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to givman]

...think I'll stick with Sandra, thanks! 🙂

[Tomas Graduate10]

They expect people to dress up? Maybe "Paul" wears a 3 piece and bowler hat

[aliboo70 Graduate10]

Oh dear! that killed the excitement but at least your sons showed an interest!! Hope you get your proper number soon x

[Davoda Graduate10]

Oops!

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

Noooo! I hope there's time to get it changed? When is the race?

At least you can have a giggle about it. Meanwhile, I wonder how Paul is feeling? Is he concerned that he won't be able to do your number justice? Is he fretting to his friends and family about Sandra's super-speedy time? Oh, the angst!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Anniemurph]

Haha! Lots of time to change it Annie, the race isn't until March so will hopefully be correctly labelled on the day!🙂

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Haha Sandra! I think you might get rumbled that you're not a guy 😊

[misswobble Graduate10]

Eek! It's so exciting ! 😄 PAul! 😁😁😁

[davelinks Graduate10]

Ah, what happens there Sandra? Ask them to resend your number & chip? Or just cross out the name?😊

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

No, I have to return it because I was also sent "Paul's" timing chip!

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Ha, ha - hope it gets sorted out .

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

[poppypug Graduate10]
