    Hi All!!!

    Cougie - for goodness sake what are you like!!

    According to my chip time I have a 3minute PB!! But disappointed really. Never mind - am only a week off the antibiots so I'll really hammer Wilmslow when I'm on better form!!

    Mr Loon set a 11minute PB - what a star!! Watch out Jakesy, nrk and co.... He's coming after you boys!!!

    Thanks Jakesy for getting me over the line in some style!! I finally beat the bleeding Penny Lane Strider who had me in the Wilmslow last year and at the Sefton park five!!!

    Great to see everybody - thanks Nicky for the muffins!! And great to finally meet Cath!

    Ah well - here's to High Wycombe.....!!!

    Big Hugs....

    Loon

    Dear All, enjoyed the race (1 minute off PB) and seemed to cope well with the 1/2M distance but hit the wall on the afternoon 1/2M with Mrs TC and the chafelets around Cheshire Oaks. (My payback)

    Ouch TC

    Now that is what I like to call 'over-training'!!!!


    Well done on the PB - sounds like you had a good run (if not a good afternoon!!!)

    Hi All - great to meet everyone at long last - did feel a bit of a spanner trying to spot peole who may be Fat Face at the start tho!!


    Thanks to DtS and Cath for the support - really helps to have someone shouting for you!

    Sounds like we all had a good run out - sorry FF / Viking, but running past you was probably my finest tell-it-to-the-grandchildren moment, even tho I know it'll never ever happen again!!! Thanks for that!!!

    Looking forward to seeing everyone at Liverpool - do you think we could risk a bit of a social before hand??

    Stalking .... she looked that sort of Girl !!!! (It's these medical types Cougie !!)


    Scouse Social sounds good, and as far as I can see ( apart from 11 /2 /05 being my Mum's birthday...) I'm up for it..

    Dear Luverly Suzie

    How do you fancy a night out in Scouseland, listening to all my mates rabbit about
    drinking & running... and then driving me
    home once I'm pi$$ed... I promise to clean the shower more often, tidey up the living room, and even wash your car

    Lots of love
    Dave the Spartan
    Ps I will even remember Valentines day

    Well pleased I made the effort to enter this event & drive up (I'm from High Wycombe of all places!! - yes, I've read the comments, lunacy!) Really good course - and nice medal too (even if I did drop it & break the plastic case!)

    Got round in 1:46 - five minutes slower than my last half in December, but not disappointed - I'm planning to run a half every month this year, so it gives me something to beat!

    One thing - does anyone know the link to the race photographer? I've got his card somewhere, but God knows where. Mind you, I don't know why I'm asking, 'cos I always hate the pictures of me - it always looks like I'm walking!

    Looking forward to my next trip up north - Wilmslow in March.

    ha ha - v happy now - just checked the official results and the Gun time is still a PB for me even though its one minute slower than the chip time. Don't think its fair going on the gun time but I suppose it figures if you're an elite runner. Also, the chip time is 2 seconds faster than I recorded!! Wahay!!!!! I'm fast, me!!!! Well, in my world anyway!!!

    Afternoon all, sorry I missed you all at the end, too cold to hang around and Sunday dinner was waiting. Chip time was 2.26.05 which is a vast improvement on the last time I did this (2.42.02) but that course is not an easy one, it undulates upwards until the last 2 miles. Could they not reverse it next year.

    Sorry forgot to say many thanks to Helsby RC for a well organised race and for the marshalls who froze their bits off out there.

    PM - you did brill, especially since you actually did less training than me!! Deffo go off the chip time, that's what it's there for.

    WW - nice to meet you again and a superb improvement on last time.

    My time was 27 minutes slower than last time. Can anyone beat that?

    Well done all, just wish I was running. I'm coaching a couple of guys who will be do doing the FLM so I was busy with them and didn't have time to introduce myself to the other forumites.

    Well done to Cougie and Fat Face who I did see, or rather they saw me first!

    My lads did 1:54 and 1:55 by the way

    well done everyone

    thanks to cath,dts and tls for support

    hat off to mtb,amazing run and you`re too good to be in our grudge series

    also hat off to my nemesis namely nrk on his almost as brill as mtb`s time

    i am chuffed with 7 seconds off my pb

    weather,snow capped mountain views,race organisation,bombardier on draught and the company were all perfect.

    the only complaint is that spectators at the finish were very quiet(until i got there).

    btw,friday 11th for a social is no good to me as i`ll be sunning it up in Spain but i`ll catch up with y`all at Liverpool half

    THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY KIDS

    364 SLEEPS

    Cougfie, I actually ran 6 miles in spectating, at 2.5miles, just before 6 miles, just after 9 miles and along a disused railway line to the humpback bridge about a mile before the finish.
