How cool is that...the GYRG managed a negative split - my first ever!
This was my first visit to Richmond Park and have never seen so many runners, bikers, horseriders etc in one place!!!
Hope your shoulder is ok - it was hard hit.
Apart from that Runners World did a great job and I enjoyed the run (apart from the idiot jogger who barged through our group...)
Pacers humm.... Brickbats or bouquets!!
Who'd be a pacer???
:-)
We were discussing in the 10.5 group how difficult it must be to keep a pace (even with GPS), especially if your normal pace is faster, as I suspect our pacer's is.
He did a grand job. Sometimes you need that extra push - well, I know I do!
Michelle - saw the guy aim straight for you. Idiot. Had we been in a better state, we'd have chased him for you!
and I've just been out and tied the spare wheel from the Merc to my leg with a chain and tried jogging up the street!
Beware - it don't half slow you down!!
And Bently did mention that he was shoulder hit hard by him on the first lap, but he actually pushed him back on the second, so he did extract a little revenge. Evidently, in the comfrontation which followed, the guy swore and said that you ~#£$%*&)s only use this park once a year - it is out park!! Maybe the muppet had mental disorder!!
Didn't see the woman on the bike, but that would have amused me!!
And by the way, i got caught in the loo when the 8mm group went and only set off when the 9mm went. Shot past the 8:30 group and by the time i caught the 8:00 group, i was knackered and had to ease off or it would have been just one lap for me!
The 8:00 group were definitely faster, but i was happy to chug round at my own pace anyway!
Great day, although the guy in the food and drinks van was the slowest person there!! PAINFUL just waiting for a cuppa!!
Hope you had a good run. How did your brother get on?
He was okay but I think he tortured himself by running that fast without much training.
Re. the bloke dragging the tyre.. why doesn't he just get a dog like everyone else??? By the way, I'm walking around today like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz..!!!!! Hope you guys feel better than me.
