2kms extra for me won't make much difference.  So when is the course route being published?

I doubt they will change silver time.

 

Comrades has never changed the 7:30 cut off as far as I know and the route changes slightly often.

true, but the Oceans Silver is probably more difficult to get to.

 

Anyway, lets see. I'm wary of getting too stuck in to unsubstantiated rumours, especially those planted by cyclists!

Haha, he dropped the bomb and then left to watch the chaos that ensued thereafter. To be honest only reason I took the bait is that I've heard this rumour in different circles (not just CT cyclists).

 

And a TOM silver is definitely harder than Comrades. No doubt about that.

Was told there would be an announcement today or Friday. From what I have heard the city would like to not have to close the whole of main road, feel M3 easier to close. 

 

Maybe they just waiting for charity entries to close :P

Maybe they just forgot to mark the main road all the way to Lakeside, then shifted it all shorter by 2km for fun :)

Let's wait and see.

With how difficult it has been just to get an expo stand booked this year, I would just about be happy to work on rumors...

I was about to suggest they ping you for some inside info on what the state of the expo is, at least, from the pov of an exhibitor...

Cheptegai just broke the world 5000m road record. 13:51. Only 14seconds off bekele's long standing world record....oh man.....The Olympics are gonna be insane... I'm literally peeing myself

 

 

Late to the Party, BUT he ran 12.51 not 13.51

 

Thus why Baderleys 13.48 Park Run "Could" be legit

Yeah sorry , only saw that now catching up

 

WRT Oceans, well that would be a balls up... Silver is tough enough over 56km's (or the 56.3km's it normally is),  if it was exactly 58km's id probably have a small chance on a perfect day based on my 3h50 last year.... 

 

But if it did go that way, I think Id change all plans for a 4h30-4h40 58km Training run..

 

Will be a proper cock up though and for me personally it will be my 7th and last Oceans. Loskop Ultra is a Great day out and was only ever trumped by the beauty of Oceans (Both Oceans).

Fear not, we've been graciously allowed to book an expo stand... all it took was several phone calls and emails, some of which even eventually got a response.

 

I do hope this is all just a temporary malaise as the event transitions... it's a brilliant iconic event and it would be tragic for it to fall away...

Everything does seem like it is not as smooth sailing as per norm.  Entries, sponsors, communication, expo.....   

 

58km, is it because Gerda would've broken the record this year and they don't have the cash?   :D  :D
