ewenm Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Hi all, As some of you may know, I do quite a lot of running and I thought I'd let you know the race I'm doing on Saturday is being televised on Sky Sports Extra . The event is the trial for the World Cross Country Championships and is in Nottingham. My race is the short course (4km) and kicks off at 13:09. Apparently it's going out live on TV. I'll be in my Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers kit which is black and white vertical stripes with red piping. I don't expect to be near the front but should be in the top 30 or so. E.

GTD Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 To help us spot you???? Perhaps you could shout 'Hello Sheds' at the camera? Or carry a small shed? Or perhaps borrow some spandex? G 4 Geoff New Guinness colour scheme here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewenm Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 This is what I look like: Skinny Bugger (note the cast on the arm - gone now though). However, this time I will be wearing black shorts and a black and white vertically striped vest with red piping on neck and shoulders as stated above E.

KevSull Too Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Make sure you run face-on to the camera, they probably wouldn't pick you up from the side (resolution on TV is not that high!!). Next pie meet, it's double pie for you my son. 😬You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenm Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Thank you very much all I've managed to work out how to get my video to record Sky, so might even be able to make some technologically advanced copy if anyone cares I suspect my total screen time will be measurable in small numbers of seconds though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
