Luna - I got fed up of banging on
Looks like I've entered my first 'proper' fell race on Sunday, looking at the 10m 3100 foot of climbing over un-tracked ground, chuck in some 7 checkpoints and a generally fast field of about 90 - I think I could be straggling this one!
Found out it's 10 hours - although there's talk on Fetch about having to be through 20 miles in 4 hours. That doesn't make much sense though!
Tried to enter but got a really odd screen. Will try again when I'm back at work.
RGR - hurrah!!!!!
Kaz - at the beginning of this year's race, the announcer did say that there was a cut off at Waunfawr of 4hrs - a loud gasp from quite a few people greeted this info!!! BUT - looking at the results, unless people spent 3 hours getting back from Waunfawr, this wasn't enforced. Quite strange cosI didn't see anything about a cut-off before the race -??
Hooray!! Signs look promising that I may be able to walk semi-normally by tomorrow!!
Ultra k,
I know they had a cut off for the Snowdon Mountain Race this year but don't know about the marathon.
SS
Nice to see that the race is a week later next year - that should help with the weather!!!
Perhaps Halloween (give or take a day) is appropriate though
Don't get me wrong - I'll be there!!
rgr - pip pip
meldy - are you eventing there on your shot?
the race is on mrs cd's b'day...i'm in the doghouse (again)
welcome hope - appropriate name for here. we could all do with some
ultra K - noone can stop you finishing, but i doubt you'll be in that camp anyway
rgr - sorry - meant to say
'hip hip'
too much school night ale (during half term though)
My entry is on it's way!
Just been shopping in the new place in Cardiff and discovered a 'sherunsheruns' shop in the basement of a Sports Direct shop. Some bargains on running clothing to be had. The bargains also online at www.sportsdirect.com/running/running-clothing
Hoorah! Hip Hip!!
LM - the achilles story is quite a heart wrenching one at that. I well up inside everytime...but to cut a long story short, over use, injury, fobbed off by doctors. rest, rest, physio, acupuncture, ultrasound, getting better...hoorah!
Life is good! Afternoon FR.
sz, the only thing i cant resist is temptation
so rgr you'll be wearing lassies gear next snod hey..nowt like a bit of cross dressing
Oh yes, and I'm in as well !
DE - There's a couple of my club-mates on that list - the fastest was 64th out of 89 - I'd say I'll be 15 - 20 mins slower which will put near the back markers.
Hoorah!
sz - beware of injury through lack of sufficient recovery..you heard it here first
rgr - can you tell me exactly which hostelries and hotel you'll be frequenting next snod so we can er er ...
talking of er er
wheres fr fr
My attention has been alerted that the 2010 thread is already up.. so here I am.
Nice and flat this one, yes?
What's this about women's running togs in a bargain basement in Cardiff? Where is that shop then?
oh and Mooooooooooorning!
CD - This Snowdon I will be mainly drinking wherever you are!
.............I like her!....can we keep her...can we can....
CD - re injury - always a problem, however so is the way I'm refueling since Snowdon! I need to get out running. Also this year for the first time, I'm going to run through the winter instead of 'larding up' So I'll be looking for something else Welsh to do after Sunday's race. Besides, I'm not going for a time in this one - the field is very strong, just an 'experience' race. All this depends on my MRI scan tomorrow, and the result of it.
Little trot out yesterday to get the legs turning over (very warm for the time of year) and track tonight. NSR!
Welcome UM and all!
I've been sitting on an ice pack for two days - had a scheduled rest day on Monday and strained my glute by sitting down on it all day. That'll teach me.
All fine today so time to get back into the last two weeks of training for my mammoth 10k. For anyone interested I've been pretty much following the FIRST schedules - you know: RUN LESS RUN FASTER. If you have any feelings at all about the subject, please do write in, it's very important that I hear a rounded discussion about this
Let's hear it for the Greenway!
Ha ha, the madness continues....I'm in for next year
. Just come back down to planet Earth after Sat.!
NG and CD- I'm doing Clowne too at end of November.
