Ronhill Surrey Classic 10K (race 3 of 3)

[Deleted User]

I've entered this one as I'm always up for the mince pies afterwards :-)

Got a 10K PB here last year.

Any excuse to get out of the house in the mad panic lead up to Christmas!

Trogs

I'll be there too as long as I remember to enter. Had a lousy run last year so can only do better this time.

Well Murf if you want to win that trophy this year, you gotta do it!

Trogs

Well it's the only running related trophy I'm ever likely to win! Trouble is, ran so well last spring that I'm not sure I can beat the PBs that I set in the first 6 races this year.

XFR Bear

COunt me in!

I fancy a mince pie )

Snoop Dogg

I'm already entered - see you there folks.

Snoop Dogg

received number this morning - 288.

So I'll know how to recognise you

Snoop Dogg

you'll recognise me anyway from my long snowy white beard in red racing gear parking my sleigh in Horton Park...

annajo

what trophy, murf?

Ive entered all three, first one this sunday, the day after the first cross country... bad idea?

XFR Bear

Argh! I can't do the first one and the CP (

If you think I'm giving you a tow just because you're dressed as Santa, SNoop, then you can forget it!

Mackem

I did this a couple of years back and was surprised at getting a pb, only to find later that there are some doubts as to whether the course is a full 10K. Looking back I'm convinced I didn't run fast enough for the time I got. Anyone else think this?

[Deleted User]

Am quite tempted by this, but will have to decide nearer the time... does it fill up?

XFR Bear

Yes.

I think I would have got a PB, but not by as much. I knocked nearly 3 minutes off my previous PB.

[Deleted User]

Spans, there's definitely no entries on the day for this one, you'll need to enter in advance.

[Deleted User]

okay... need to work out whether I can handle seeing my parents a couple of days before christmas as well as over christmas first!!!

[Deleted User]

annajo - I'm doing the same... x-country on the Saturday and LARA 10k on the Sunday. Have never run in a x-country before so I'm not sure how I'll be on Sunday. Somewhat sore I should imagine.

maybe go for a PB in the second LARA race..

[Deleted User]

Got my number for this very promptly - 299

annajo

right, 58 minutes for the first race-I jogged round most of it with a girl i met half way round, then went for it after the last hill, and made up a minute and a half on the girl I had been running with! so the faster times are there, I just need to not race xc the day before...!

My aim now, after a drunken social chat with Tiger, is to be the (first?) runner to improve by ten minutes over the course of the series...

[Deleted User]

LOL - suprised you admit to remembering that Annajo!

Coxy Apple

I'm going for this one too - work nearby so know vaguely where it is. Is it a flat course? Could be the last race until new year when I'm sure will be feeling lardy and unfit and likely to struggle at anything. Tiger - were you at Brighton too this w/end? Think Shambler mentioned you were there although I could be mistaken. I met a few forumites.

[Deleted User]

Form's in the post!

Annie I was at Brighton, Multi and Snoop were there too.

Coxy Apple

Cool - I met a few people at Donatello's but can't remember everyones (forum) name? I haven't run since then as semed to have pulled someting in my groin/abs region. Tried v.light gym sess yesterday but has aggravated it again so resting until 6th Dec as away for work anyway and hope will be OK after that. Very frustrating though.
