It wasn't that bad??? It bloody was!!
I had blue lips, was drenched, frozen, my teeth were clattering and I couldn't even blink my eyes anymore!
>>HMPH<<
Well down in Queensland Australia they have a nice lager type beer called XXXX
Will you be back in time for the race?
Had a sniff 'round that 10K course this morning - bit bright up there, blue skies an' fluffy clouds an' those noisy skylarks singing their silly heads off - particularly up by that roundabout thing. I had to wait while himself stood around there, admiring the Malverns or Beacons or something - could have been bloody Snowden for all I know the things you can see from there! Couldn't see Hay of course, buried under white misty stuff, but they don't get up 'til afternoon down there anyway, less they've got one of their Festival things on when they're all buzzing around like bluebottles. Anyway. we jogged on around the back - nice bit of mud under paw around there but that'll all have dried up by May so some of them runners won't be happy. They like it gloopy. Bit like a sheep-dip at the ford mind - had a drink there and cooled the belly (we'd been panting up hill see), nice clean water when there's not them runners muddying it up. Back up over the hill, across the road and up the next - grass was a bit short, those bloody sheep eating it all I s'pose. Very springy - could have gone 'boing, boing' like that friend of mine I s'pose. Silly B. Anyway, weren't a bad walk....
More reports from Dougal when he's had a good rest.
but that'll all have dried up by May
or not...?!
See if I can manage to:
Maybe take a hip flask - that'll do it!
Filled one and poured it back out in to a glass tonight tosee how much it would take.
Had to drink the stuff then of course - hey ho!
Latest update from the organisers point of veiw: having our first REAL meeting on Tuesday night, to ok all quotes (marquee, molile foodie van etc) Applying for alcohol licence, and I'd like to organise somewhere as a central meeting point for all runners/stewards/organisers and spectators to get together. Now wea-h-r permitting (all Hayhotfooters are banned from using this word), it would be magic indeed, if this could be in the roundabout, but we can't bank on it so we'll have a second option ready. Or it might be better to meet in the evening, any feedback here well appreciated prior to tuesday. It just seems such a shame not to meet after these events, when you know you'll have so much in common and the event itself to compare notes on. OR indeed to have a good moan at god for giving us said shit we-th-r..... You will appreciate that Hay will be insanely busy pub wise with the festival, that's why it would be great to meet either back at the Begwyns (outdoor party yay!) OR at a pub out of Hay (don't worry re: details - the Hayhotfooters are experts on all local watering holes, trust me on that one!!
As to earlier enquiries about racing numbers being the same if possible - it may not be possible as we have no's to use up from last year, and you then order follow on numbers. Leave it to auntie Cat to see what she can do!!
Will report back to base after Tuesdays meeting. It might be quite fun to involve your decisions and help in the process of organising our second race. In the meantime - you can all help by telling all your running mates of it's existance if you could. That would be great. The more the better, we can handle it,
,and it will be helping the Longtown Mountain rescue service this year. Happy running - I'm off to the Begwyns for a good run myself this afternoon - its bloomin gorgeous today (did not use that word, see!)
