Good lukc with your race and well done getting 2nd place in the series.

I've entered a 6k race tomorrow organised by a local cancer hospice. Its a good cause and after all the long runs leading up to my marathon, it will be good to fun shorter distances.

Good luck, Trin, go for it!

Thanx Katten

It's going to be treacherous out there after todays rain to nicely grease the surface of the Brent Knoll mountain

I WAS racing over the weekend, a 10K/600ft ascent route at Ravenstonedale in Cumbria. It's a wonderful location along quiet roads with the rolling Howgills as a backdrop. There were only 175 runners, and only £5 to enter, so it was all very laid back - unlike the overcrowded, over-hyped and expensive Abbey Dash the same weekend!
Just one more race this year, then that's me finished for a month or two: time to recuperate and recharge the old batteries. Scotland, here I come!
Cheers!

Sounds similar to the race I was in RF

Had a terrible race! Didn't sleep the previous night and lacked adequate training. But still Won the MV70 category - by some miracle!

Congrats, RF!

It does sound like an amazing route

Might have guessed........

Fantastic RF...............Well done.

There was nothing fantastic about it Dave. At 49.45 it was my slowest 10K ever - which, as you can imagine, has done nothing at all for my morale! Six months ago I ran 45.32 which, by way of consolation, tops the British MV75 ranking list for this year. How are the mighty fallen!!! I'm really looking forwards to a three month break from racing after the Travellers 6 next month.
Cheers!

Point taken RF.

I sometimes forget the standards you set for yourself......

Hope you finish your racing year feeling happier with yourself after the travellers 6.

Trinity · #28 30th Nov 07, 02:34 PM

no more races for me for a while now... I'm running with the club on Sunday

Hollywood · #29 30th Nov 07, 03:42 PM

Is anyone coming with me to play in the 40mph winds (70mph gusts) at Luton?

Trinity · #30 30th Nov 07, 04:17 PM

I believe that there will be one or two Hogweeds there Hollywood.

Not me though...sadly
