Many thanks to everybody for Saturday morning, it was good fun and the biscuitsand the cakes set it off perfectly. Conditionsat Ashford today were superb and it isa good fast course, but after yesterday's 14 I was pleasantly surprised to take about 90 secs off my PB. It was also nice to meet Andy Stevens for the first time and put a face to the name.
Yes, fantastic conditions at Ashford today. Had to keep reminding myself it was February. Quite why there were so many runners starting out in full head to toe lycra with jackets, gloves and hats I have no idea but they must have been suffering by the end. Also grabbed a pb so good day all round.
Good to meet you in person too Bill instead of just talking in cyberspace !!
Thanks to everyone who ran on Saturday it was a very enjoyable run and great company. A special thanks must go to bo-bo and PSC for the yummy cakes and buscuits.
Comon then Pit stop crew whats the long range forecast for next Saturday then
she's at work and therefore blind to the forum! You know what the Civil Service is like, nothing on your computer that might be vaguely interesting, fun or useful!!! Not sure she has started a thread - I think that the "Inch High Club" is more of an underground organisation....
cliff you are own your own with that one mate definitely not one for me.
I dont think I could stand the pressure of the cut off times and if I got to a checkpoint just too late and they pulled me from the race well I think I would loose it completely Good luck though if you decide to give it a go
as PA extraordinaire to PSC I will be buying the sweeties! - so far have 1 x bag of smooth cola bottles and 2 x bags of jelly babies (usual stock in our house ) - awaiting instructions/comment/helpful pointers/ divine inspiration/the men in white coats......been one of those days!
We have jelly babies and I'm going to get some 'foamy haribo' whatever they are! Junior Junior aka crazy eskimo penguin will be baking brownies so me and PSC and Barbara will be OK!
hey bo-bo so you've read Dean Karnazi's (if thats how you spell his name) book as well eh ? Now he realy is NUTS !!
wonders is it legal to bake a "brownie" And do they go crispy or soft and fluffy in the middle ?
Cliff Face can you email me your address (I assume you are not coming out to play with the big boys and girls tonight) as we need to know where to collect you on Saturday. We plan to pick you up just before 4.30 pm if thats OK ?
Just had two lovely fresh baked rolls with loads of jam for breakfast yummy dont you just love carbo loading
So PSC that just confirms what we have suspected all along that deep down you are secretly yearning to start running ultras.
Its OK now you have confessed to the truth on a world wide Forum you will feel better with yourself and we are all here to help you to fulfill these dreams

I am working from home today and I was intending to try another speed session tonight. Is it the usual 18.30 start from the Pool?
