No headphones allowed and there's a time limit of 2.5 hours! Neither one should be a problem really but there was no mention of either when I signed up and now I'm stressing about it.

I'm expecting to do it in about 2.15 - 2.20 so may be cutting it a bit fine if something goes wrong. I'm worried that I'll stress out and go too fast at the beginning and then run out of steam, or that it'll be really bloody windy, or that I'll have to stop for a pee.

Someone please hand me a grip!

2.5 hrs seems like a harsh limit. I wish they'd bloody said, I would have done Silverstone instead! Bugger bugger bugger.

Most HM have a time limit- they wont round all the stragglers up at the back though if it looks like you might not get in under that time.

Thanks, not so worried about the headphones but bit peed off about the time limit. I would have entered a different race if I'd known the limit was going to be so close to my expected time. Now I'm going to spend the whole thing crapping myself that I won't finish in time :(

I think you will be fine - i think this is a standard limit else events can attract very slow walkers. They won't stop you with a mile to go at 2.25 - it would be quicker to let you finish than give you ca lift! But if someone has still got say 4 miles to go then they might offer a lift.

No headphones is now pretty standard too - it might seem daunting but I bet you find the atmosphere etc will get you through it.
