FOAR - avoid the beer festival, they are dodgey!
Everyone have a top, top weekend...happy hols to those off and away, good luck to all racing , happy relxing to those taking it easy and i think that about covers it
Everyone enjoy their races/runs/bike rides this w/e.
I hope the weather isnt too warm or too wet in the lakes for Garburn. There should be good Stockport support at the race, just read that Pete Rileys doing it as well (although I think Stockport are his 2nd club)
You didn't say 'hard luck to those working most of the weekend', but I think the 'happy relaxing to those taking it easy' covers me. Thank you!
TST - did anyone hand my HRM strap in?
have sorted out some running already in Belfast. Apparrantly there is a 10K on weds next week, just next to where I work, so am gonna go check that out. Now I just need to make sure I get all my packing done.
GBM - good luck!
GBM has just dropped off the CDs. His mate Pete thought it would be funny to send him round with a c*****m (I'm sure you can fill in the gaps SH!!) I am on TFF at the mo but will get round to the Pixies later!

Eric/ SH you can come back now.
BTB Did DB get sorted this afternoon?
Padded shorts/pump/tyre levers/saddlebag/bottle/sunglasses/allen keys/helmet/spare innertubes have I missed anything?
We're off to whitby for a week tomorrow, so happy running/riding everyone. My next planned run will be sunday 10th, with a reccie around the kinder trog route, mainly the second half if anyone's interested. Anyone who knows the route especially.

FOAR - Thanks for the well wishes.
Minnie - I know youre not here but I'm definately planning on Kinder Trog, talked Dan into it too.
Kwaka/TST - What are you travel plans for Sunday am ? Are you parking at Staveley ?

I suspect parking at the finish in Windermere will be a nightmare.
Anyone with a free afternoon come down to the track and watch/support the senoir M+F track team, fetch trainers you could get a run, 5k is the longest, but if there is an event not covered it is worth doing as the scoring is on points not time, i once did javelin and scored 6 points with a pitifully short throw, because we had no second thrower.
The fun starts just before 12 and goes on to 5ish
Alfa male - there is a chest strap in the tuck shop top drawer, guess it is yours.
Was nice to see a few there to witness and cheer on the stockport team, dont know the final points result, except for the 3000 chase, at 12.49 i was outclassed, but for comedy and guts value the star was spike, so amall he had climb onto the barriers, fell at least once and finished in 15 min.
Warm conditions to run in again today. Ran the City v City Liverpool 10k this morning. A little undulating and a headwind of a sea breeze for the last 3k made the conditions testing. No excuses though, I was still feeling it following Windermere as my legs felt really heavy (was that another excuse?). Anyway, finished 19th out of 1700 in 38.49 so not a PB but averagely pleased!
Hope there were some good performances elsewhere today.
My feet are a little sore from all that down hilling at Garburn today - not leaving aside the bloody big uphill before your got to that bit ! I'd definately forgotten how hard it was - came in 4 mins slower than last year - 1hr 52m - like you, I'm going to blame that on Windermere I think ! Oh and the weather being a bit warm and.....
Not sure what all the others did so i'll let them tell you later. Enjoyed it though now its over !
I am not going to use rude words on the thread anymore, but DizzyBlonde has used a rude word in her post (I'll disregard the blatant misspelling of definitely)
DizzyBlonde- Well done!! It was definitely too hot today for running at my speed let alone at yours!!!
Isaac- Please issue DizzyBlonde with a red card.
Morticia - I agree with you on the definitely spelling although I see so many people spell it like DB - maybe you can spell it both ways like tendinitis/tendonitis???
Can I start a Rainow list? This Wednesday evening. Don't know what time. I have swapped shifts to do it, so that's good news for anyone worried that they might come last.
