Thinking about doing the Robin Hood mara in September. I know a few on here have done it - good, bad or indifferent?


When's Sevenoaks?

Gavo

Mid-May for Sevenoaks. There's a thread over there -----> somewhere about it. Off-road, 1 up & down incline on each 3.5m lap, followed by a wander into the town centre for a pie & a pint. Other foodstuffs are available.

anyone apart from plum and super vet thinking
about the orpington (half) mara*fun??

Gavo

Well if the Plummy oldsters are going then definitely not.

[Deleted User]

Can't do Sevenoaks - it's the day after a stag do.

[Deleted User]

Scared of getting beaten by an old un gavo are we.

Gavo

Not in the Wayne Rooney sense I hope.

Nah, looked at it though but I've already got a few things planned for the summer. I'll just let you beat me at North Downs again, being the kind soul that I am.

Plum

North Downs, Budapest and an Ironing thing for me.

Everybody should beat me a I am doing an 180k cycle the day before, I never learn

Plum

Orpington Marafun yeaterday ..... bit better time than London thank goodness


My little green mate was there as well, I am beginning to think he is stalking me

Gavo

Plummy, just read the Marafun thread. Is that about an hour quicker than the phlegm fun run? I knew this running with 32000 others isn't good for you.

And when were you last 2nd in a race????

[Deleted User]

i can rememebr when I was in the last two
finishers in a race . . .

Plum

It was the one occasion without a cheque or silverware to pawn and I get a podinm finish.

It was about 65 minutes faster than London and I didnt push it at all as it was so close to london, finished fairly strong though and was a bit p'd off with a 1:41 1:50 split I had thought it was a bit more even though the last hill seemed a lot longer the second time round

Plum

I must be naturally antisocial or I just like chasing people who started in front of me, did the first 4 or so miles in a group but the pace was up and down and didnt suit so i just plodded off on my little lonesome

Gavo

Well you are antisocial.

It wasn't a proper mara though was it.....

Plum

no it didnt have any mile markers or clocks or people dressed as Wombles or toilets and no bugger stopped the cars that tried to kill me either. Still it was a bit of interval training as well darting across orpington high street to avoid the Chelsea tractors.

I still got a medal.....

Plum

Right

speaking to crafty this morning on another completely silly matter ..... something to do with ru***g and the talk of a social came up again.

Plummy - didn't see your name on the CP tri list. Are you still going?

[Deleted User]

Gavo - are you going??

Plum

No unfortunately I am in France so will cycle back to the channel, swim across with the bike on my back and then run home up the hard shoulder of the A2 as a loosener

Gavo

Natty - yeah. 9.25 start. Very civilised for a tri methinks. But I've decided not to do the North Downs 30k.

Orpington 10k anyone?

Plum

Plum

Gavo

Plum

Surprised you of all people noticed ......


........ though to be honest it ook me two reads to find the mistake.. :-))

Gavo

Ook you?

I was supposed to be swimming tonight as my final training session but work has delayed me & the weather doesn't look too inviting to spend more time than necessary on the bike.
