Beardo.......Thanx yes enjoyed most of the race. Although admit the self indugence of the victory lap wore off somewhat running back up to The Paragon!!!.......and then turning into that headwind on the home straight!!!! Why is it every TRAC Race I do strategically blows a headwind in your face in the last mile when you least need it?
TBSIARF..........Will be good to see you again on Wed night. The Marlow is easy to find.........turn off is at a roundabout on the New Haine Road and then keep driving right through the school grounds to the Track area at the back. Glad I make an impression! Well Done on your brilliant time!
Thanx again to everyone for their efforts yesterday and all of those who have been organising the race for months. It was my first TRAC race as a TRAC memeber and it made me feel very proud to be a TRACie!!!!
2BTiny- Thanks for the directions, that really helps. I did give you a wave yesterday but not sure if you realised it was me.
Well done on your time - I'm sure you are pleased with that. A great confidence booster for you.
Cinders - good luck with being in charge of the membership stuff. I'm sure you'll be very good!
Ed cant be sure but a sudden onset of bad cramps is often bought on by dehydration or an imbalance in your bodies electrolites. So it could be either not enough water being taken in (even on a cold day its important to keep hydrated) or youve drunk slightly too much water and diluted your electrolites too far (if you consume relatively high levels of water you need to replace salts etc so some type of electrolite drink or salty food is required to rebalance the system). Hope that helps
Thanks DB.
MF7, That's what I thought - I do tend to drink a fair bit, but one bottle of isotonic, plus a bottle of water and a gel. I'd be surprised if it was either. I was craving crisps when I got home! Beardo - another side project for you?! I think it was more setting off too quick and blowing up, without the base miles in my legs.
Anyway, thanks for all your concern - managed a stroll out at lunchtime without looking too much like John Wayne. Knee's moving a bit more easily (going down stairs is still not much!) but booked into a stretch class tomorrow morning, and shall probably gear up to a bit of a trot weds or thurs. Where's my next race......?
still after hugs though.....
It also wasn't a lot of fun being 500m from the finish, I gave lots of encouragement, but not too many people were interested in conversation, I can't work out why!!!!!
Well done Ed, I am glad you made a swift recovery.
Arms flexed and ready Ed!
DB will use the work photocopier to do the extra sheets to give you on Wednesday re the AG.
MA took us for a swift 5 and a bit miles tonight - really well done to those who ran yesterday AND tonight!
How fast do you run on a Monday JFDI, I'm back up to 6 miles ish but still a slow old thing! Can't make Thurs still due to college course.
CF, he must have been blind. Loads of signs around!
Cinders - we usually do about 5ish on a Monday night in an hour - you'd be fine - the speedy ones double back and me and Hells are usually there plodding and chatting so come and join us!
As for that bloke - what is it with men and asking for directions?! He told me he'd been driving round Ramsgate for an hour!!!! Muppet! He also got very cross when i told him he shouldn't wear his Ipod!! Cooperman was all for taking his name and barring him from future races
Great JFDI, won't be for couple of weeks as got Silverstone half this weekend.
Tut, an ipod as well!
Cheers CB.
Cinders enjoy Silverstone - I think Ian is doing that one too.
Which Ian is that JFDI?
Looking a bit damper than last weekend!
I know it's a bit late but just wanted to say what a perfect day I had on Sunday:
Great weather (yep, I know it was cold but it wasn't Thanet 10!), brilliant company as ever - Julia & 2bTiny (for a while), perfect pace (nearly eh?, MF7
) and the most brilliant marshalls - 'specially Mark, Donna & Anna & a catchup with mum2ten at the finish. I had a blast!
Thanks so much everyone. Who'd have thought it - 20 MILES!
Bring on Brighton!
Same - JFDI, Mother's Day has priority. Actually Alyce is cooking for my mum & my 99½ year old Gran and I! Not sure what's on the menu yet....
I've entered Lydd too Bill but again neglected to realise it was Mother's Day so will make a decision very late on as whether to go or not!!!
The training plan is 16 this Sunday so may just head out early instead around Westgate (although the lure of PBing a half does somewhat appeal to me also!!!!
Decisions... Decisions....
I'm going to try and make it to tonights meeting - what time do most people tend to arrive?
Thanks JFDI - I'm looking forward to it. See you later.
Good morning everyone!
Just wanted to say thanks for being made very welcome to the meeting last night. Good to meet everyone and to put names to faces etc - had a really good chat with Ed and Frank and I think Derek is wondering why JFDI keeps shouting "hello That Boy" at me.
Meeting itself I found very interesting and I hope to get along as and when I can.
Thanks again.
