Spring 2021 virtual HUHM and HU10k 😍 Bib alert!!!

[linda9389]

Did you really want to wear a bib for your HM or 10k? The fight with safety pins or magnets? All that soggy flapping on a wet and windy, stormy day? No I didn't think so!!!

But just in case you wanted one for a photo (I decided I do🤷‍♀️), there's an editable bib in Google docs for you to print (you'll have to change the number and name yourself before printing)....

HM bibs here docs.google.com/document/d/... ,

10k bibs here docs.google.com/document/d/...

and you can find your bib number here docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

Oh wow! This reminded me of the Thanksgiving race two years ago where I posted about the bizzare confusion and bedlam that was epitomised by the unfortunate runner who managed to swallow a pin, thankfully a closed one.

Very best wishes again to all and hope you have a great run

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Eek! Scary thought

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I really missed it last year. It was absolute bedlam but in a fun way Raised a lot of money for a local Food Pantry also. Covid is a curse

[Bluebirdrunner]

Good luck all runners! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪🍀xxx

Thanks BB 😊

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Oo now I have one sent with my Alzheimers uk fundraising pack (and teeshirt!) So I have written healthunlocked half marathon and my number on it. Probably won't wear though!!!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Make the decision tonight - you've no time for choices in the morning 😀

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to linda9389]

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Thank you Linda 😆🏃‍♀️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Haha. You're welcome. I don't think I'll ever forget my magnet battle in the wind on Southsea prom!!!

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to linda9389]

Ha ha. Yes we all did ours at home before putting the shirt on. 😂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Didn't want mine to get creased in the car 😅

[Joster Half Marathon]

Honestly, there isn't anything you haven't thought of! LOVE this. Thank you.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Joster]

Sadly I can't be there to cheer you on in person and hand you a drink as you fly by 😊

[Stephen_UK Half Marathon]

The good news is that the 40-mph winds are no longer being forecast!

The bad news is that we have no excuse now not to run tomorrow.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Stephen_UK]

That is good news! As for excuses? I don't believe for one minute you're looking for excuses!!! 😀

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Linda - I’ve not used Rungo before. When I searched for HU 10k, I got a choice of 2 routes. Which do I use?🤷🏼‍♀️🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Oh ... one was probably my own proof listening test and I can't work out how to delete it! I'll make it private if I can. The one you want is HU spring 2021 10k (following the EMF 10k route)

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Fab - thanks 😊

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

You are spoiling us....

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Haha!!!

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

All ready... I hope!

Photo of running gear laid out with HU HM bib.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Looking great!!! Go out and smash it!

[OnlineTwin Half Marathon]

As some may have seen on Strava, a few ankle issues put paid to my being able to train up and join the HM fun this time round, but I wish all of you taking part good weather and smooth and safe running. Have fun!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to OnlineTwin]

Many thanks OT. You'll get back to HM fun, just needs a bit of patience for a while ... here's to a smooth come back!

[lexi6 10 Miles]

This is fabulous thanks Linda 😊

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to lexi6]

I've set it up for you ... in case you wondered what was happening there! and saveda copy here docs.google.com/document/d/...

[lexi6 10 Miles in reply to linda9389]

Oh! God thanks Linda, not being a techie thought I’d broken it 😂😂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to lexi6]

It's been broken a few times today so no worries if you had! 😊

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

I read that as edible bibs - perhaps made of rice paper to fuel us on the way round!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

🤣🤣🤣

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

Haha, great idea...used to love those rice paper fake bank notes when I was a kid 😆

[nowster Metric Marathon]

The last time I wore a bib I was on rusks. 😆👶

Good luck to everyone running today. I hope the weather has been a little more pleasant than it has been here this morning.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to nowster]

OMG - I used to LOVE rusks! Even used to have them at uni as a treat sometimes. Then when I had kids ... I used to nick them 😅

[Run46 Half Marathon]

Completely unrelated linda9389 but I would have expected to see GTFC here with bells on...not seen him around for a while. Hopefully he's fine and just taking a bit of a rest 😏

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Run46]

He hasn't been around for a while now. Roseabi did make contact with him via Garmin because he had closed his HU account and she wanted to check everything was alright. He seemed OK, but didn't really explain why 🤷‍♀️

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Ah right, closing his account is pretty final.

Thanks for the reply, hopefully he's ok whatever's going on 😏
