Vertigo

[Clare]

Hi

I am a first timer and I'm not sure I'll have the opportunity to get up to the course between now and race day.  I suffer from vertigo - in short, I'm a big girls' blouse with heights and I'm worried I'm going to panic at the ladders.  Can anyone who has done the race before advise how hairy the heights are?

Thanks

Hi Clare,

I believe last year they had an overflow route that the ladders.... in case the line up for the ladders got too long.  you can simply run an extra 400m and bypass the ladders.  i assume with an increased number of runners again this year that this option will be there again this year.

so dont let the ladders worry you.... you will be fine.

cheers,

josh

Hi Clare,

I did the ladders section last weekend and it is not bad at all and I am also a big girls blouse when it comes to heights, so don't worry.

Thank you both, that's very reassuring.

Now I just have to conquer my fear of the dark

That's easy run really fast and finish in daylight   ;-p

i think there maybe a full moon if its a clear night so it might not be as dark for you. Once you get into it its great in the dark
