Ronhill Surrey Classic 10K (race 3 of 3)

Coxy Apple

Ah hah! All clear now then I hope. Was thinking might have a fellow Wimbledonian.

Snoop Dogg

nah - I'm from Orpington.

Must be a sure thing though that someone calling herself Womble might hale from the Wimbledon area.

annajo

aah tiger, 48 minutes is never going to happen for me at this one, I havent run for 2 weeks because of flu and its put me right back, I am going to be such a plodder at the moment when I start running again

I will get to that point at some time in my running life but to be honest surviving 10k in less than an hour is going to be my first aim for this race!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss it. Still getting a twinge. Worried about how much the Xmas excesses are going to put me back though(& the extra weight I will gain). So will let someone else have my mince pie)!

I spent all year telling people about my PB 10k time gained at this race last year, only to have my dreams shattered yesterday by a fellow runner telling me it was short!

I'm still claiming it though!

annajo

it used to be short, because of the roadworks down part of the course, nowthe course has changed back to the original course which is ok distance wise I think!

[Deleted User]

Am I too late for this one? Anyone know if I can enter on the day?

Snoop Dogg

sorry FF - all places have gone - unless you can persuade Annie C to let you have her reservation.

Catch you Sunday a.m. peoples!

Coxy Apple

Have sent you a message Floosie.

Still feeling a little under the weather so won't be doing this. Anyone who wants my number please feel free to give me a shout.

Snoop Dogg

Oi!! Joe!!

YOU'RE DOING IT YOUNG MAN!! NO WIMPS IN S LONDON!!

(Was that why you were coughing last night?)

[Deleted User]

The cold didn't help, but I do cough when I'm a bit knackered!

Any objection to me dropping off the number to you tomorrow sometime if anyone not local wants it?

[Deleted User]

I don't know Multi, fit enough for a social .... :-)

Snoop Dogg

c'mon Joe - you've still got two days to go yet - G'WAN!!

[Deleted User]

Mince pies & cuppa tea at the end Joe?

[Deleted User]

Tough one, but still gotta get over this cold. Have a good one, folks!

annajo

oh blimey its in two days time. can't find my number and havent run since I got back from lanzarote last thursday. help!

Trogs

Bet you still beat me Annajo!

annajo

probably not, murf, youre looking very athletic in your picture! see you sunday

[Deleted User]

See you all tomorrow!

Trogs

Why does this one seem harder than any other 10k I've done? Having said that, can't complain too much since I did beat my best time for the course by a couple of minutes even but nowhere near my PB.

Good to see Womble, Snoop & Tiger. Y'all have a good Christmas now.

Snoop Dogg

Didn't it turn out nice?

Where wuz Annajo & Multi? - wussy wimps who must make a resolution to attend race meetings in the New Year!

[Deleted User]

That was hard work. I'm tired ..

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

FYI The Results for both yesterday's race and the series overall are up on the web...

What with a strong cold wind, having been out late the night before plus having to cycle 6 miles to the race as the better half wanted the car, I felt sure I'd flop in this one...instead set a new PB by over a minute...

I had doubts over the distance but another racer with a GPS Timex Bodylink thingy made it 10.01 KM so I guess it must be okay. Did anyone else think it was a fast (or short?) course.

This was my first race after joining the local running club, and I think the combination of the discipline of good quality regular weekly runs (better than I would do on my own anyhow) plus running the race with a fellow club runner has paid dividends...still can't belief such a big reduction in my PB...
