I am delighted to report I have been selected to represent Great Britain at this year's IAU 100km World Cup taking place in Italy on 08 November. I will be running as an individual as no other male runners have achieve the qualifying standard. This year's race will start in Tuscania, nr Rome, and finish in Tarquinia. I believe the course comprises a linear section of approximately 35km followed by a number of laps of a loop. In any event is sounds more interesting than the pancake flat 10x10km course of last year's event at Winschoten which was mentally extremely tough. I am also hoping there will be some significant undulations to suit my running strengths.
I will begin my build up immediately after the Ultra Trail Tour du Mont Blanc race at the end of August and will hopefully provide a good platform for the Commonwealth 100km Championships now confirmed for September 2009.
It certainly doesn't get any better than running for GB and I am delighted to have earned my second GB vest in consecutive years.

Nice one Jez!! I've posted a link to your blog on my own.
Congratulations Jez and good luck for that.
Are you actually running the Devil o' The Highlands in three weeks? The website has not been updated in ages but I think I remember seeing your name on the reserve list.

Found you in the starters list for the Devils!
I take it that's the days of the record numbered then...
