ooh, yours sounds like a lot more fun mort..guess i just wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible..andI picked a bush over a portaloo my legs are killing me, maybe there was something in the water?
If anyone is interested this needs to be entered as teams of 2 unless you want to walk it... If anyone fancies doing this (slowly!!!) with me, let me know!
"WANSFELL CLASS: (Team Event) Winning time 7-7.5 hours total. This class and the Bedafell class will be held over the same course. The Wansfell is designed for runners as a shorter alternative to the Harter Fell."
BUT
"Milk and beer will be available at the Mid-way Camp, but that’s all!"
I could have done without the 'celebrity' attention on the flight home. Somehow they had no record of me being on the flight even though I had been sat there for 20 minutes. This was just after 3 girls from my work turned up and sat next to me having been over to a team meeting for the day. All very strange.
Forgot to say well done to Management on her PB and also that I was chatting to a cap called Kevin in the pub after the race and it turns out he is 'How Far ?' from the thread. He ran 2.54 anyway which is pretty impressive.
Just had a Matthew massage - ouch is all I am going to say!
Kwaka - we're not doing derwentwater but will be around to eat Saturday night - there's the Ramblers Bar at the Inn on the Lake or the Travellers Rest so we can decide then. Didn't do Garburn but it's probably the same Wilf's.
clairster - many congrats on your Dublin performance - you must be mad though - the idea of starting to suffer at 14 miles (was it?), knowing that you had 12 more miles to go, and sticking at it, is mind-boggling to me - mind you, I'm not a "marathon person" full stop
oh, and re Wilmslow, there are too many other (nicer) HM's around the same date that I would rather do in 2008, but maybe 2009...?
bikerchick - just to underline what clairster said - if you can't think of a very good reason NOT to do White Peak, get your form filled in!
Kwaka - did you Garmin the ascent on Passing Clouds? It was advertised as 1800ft, but going off the map it looks less to me (more like 1550ft?)
GBM - if you're gonna extend the race list to the end of May, I predict it will get very messy... (I'll be adding to it soon )
Great pics of ST with me running alongside on page 7. Run the slide show and theres a couple of me, shall we say emptying my nostrils.....lol Yourt mate Pete is on the same set GBM.
Daz - I've already filled the form in! but i'd most likely be going for the half, I really don't have the time to train for a marathon, although i'd love to do one again at some point.
BC - Post the bloomin form then! if I do White Peak it will be the Half I need to find out the date of the Fairfield Horseshoe FR first though, as it might clash...
having threatened to vandalise the race list, I am surprised (nay, astonished) to find that I only have one definite to add atm, namely the Haweswater HalfMara...
just wait till the 2008 FRA calendar comes out though...

Well done Clairster

I was the same but I decided to walk between portaloos and take photos instead. Funnily enough, I did a lot of fast walking and now 2 days later my legs are really aching badly.

Well done to all those who ran last weekend!!
Morticia - fancy this run next year?
http://www.slmm.org.uk/
If anyone is interested this needs to be entered as teams of 2 unless you want to walk it... If anyone fancies doing this (slowly!!!) with me, let me know!
"WANSFELL CLASS: (Team Event) Winning time 7-7.5 hours total. This class and the Bedafell class will be held over the same course. The Wansfell is designed for runners as a shorter alternative to the Harter Fell."

Forgot to say well done to Management on her PB and also that I was chatting to a cap called Kevin in the pub after the race and it turns out he is 'How Far ?' from the thread. He ran 2.54 anyway which is pretty impressive.
Not looking good for FLM
FOAR-How Far is one of our more modest runners but a bloody good runner, well done on the sprint, notice how quiet TST is, well done Mgmt.
Morticia--"I decided to walk between portaloos and take photos". Classic!!
BC--That looks fun!
FOAR--Great to hear that HF is racing again. 2.54? He must have been using it as a training run!
TB -TST and Management are travelling around Ireland this week so don't read too much into the lack of a response !
Clairster - Well done again especially as you weren't feeling too good.
GBM - join in!!!! i think it sounds ace.
My FLM cheque hasn't been cashed either. Oh well!! I can handle a second rejection
White Peak entry forms are out, might prepare for that instea, I believe its a good one?
Just had a Matthew massage - ouch is all I am going to say!
Kwaka - we're not doing derwentwater but will be around to eat Saturday night - there's the Ramblers Bar at the Inn on the Lake or the Travellers Rest so we can decide then. Didn't do Garburn but it's probably the same Wilf's.
GBM - have you found any pics of yourself? Can't see anyone I know except Andy Titley and a chap from Macc.
Is it me, or did the bloke who led for 21 miles have a very strange style?!
Kwaka - we'll be at the track tomorrow so don't forget the stuff - I'll definitely need it as you have to take jackets ect with you on the race.
You're right! That bloke who lead for the first 21 miles did have a style that all of us would find strange. It's called FAST!
.... I got bored then !
Why do i look so fat?
GBM-it's the camera lens.
MORE IMPORTANT-WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE XMAS MEAL AND THE PUB CRAWL.
clairster - many congrats on your Dublin performance - you must be mad though - the idea of starting to suffer at 14 miles (was it?), knowing that you had 12 more miles to go, and sticking at it, is mind-boggling to me - mind you, I'm not a "marathon person" full stop
