i'll stop now !
Disturbed nights obviously haven't dented your statto skills ;-)
yep, statto skills are still fairly sharp
XX to Maz!
Anyone fancy a cross country run in Sevenoaks this sunday.
No excuses now Caz, injury hit Gaz will hold the baby
Were DRR to start and giving exclusivity to "elitist groups" like that, then I for one would leave immediately, and so would many more from DRR. There's enough beginners
who are scared of joining a running club afraid that their speed will be ridiculed (you only have to look on the Beginners Forum to see that), without introducing a policy of segregation.
That's not why I decided to join DRR, and I'm really glad we have a sensible committee there that would throw out any such suggestion.
Sub 60 seems arbitrary, but surely encouraging the ones who are in with a chance of medalling in any age / gender category is reasonable?
This is a clubs main event which helps out throughout the year. I am hoping that the hard core of the club will not run in the interests of the club. But I think the proviso should be encouraged if a member wants to race.
I have spoken with several of the club likely winners in age group and they have said they will not run. I hope this is the case for most of the club.
We will have to wait for a final decision.
Bottom line - of course on a club's big "open day" everyone should be serving the club - but surely for the fastest runners the best way of serving the club is to run...
Anyway, if none of them run, so much the better - most of us will move up a place -or two... ;-) But I would honestly rather have a stronger field with them.
Yes, county championships are a big thing, but its the best of like 6-8 races if its Kent Grandprix, being race one of the season, then a club can get away with not fielding a team, problems occur towards the end of the season when points and places are at stake.
I can`t give to much away about whats happening down at IEK but rest assured from me, we do have a squad, which is potent enough to cause problems, if we decide to concentrate on the Kent GP series. We do have a new coach, who used to coach at GEC Avionics.
Keep an eye on the Kent Cross Country League, your get a clue as to what is developing ;P
As for the Pantman v Micksta grudge race, its one I relious!
And I think you mean you "relish"...
As to times, I do not know the course, so I cannot say for sure, but I am confident of surprising you and a few others. Right now I am in significantly better shape than I was for ND30K. Put it this way, if I get down to 10st by then don't expect to beat me - super club or not!
If they want to enter the race then they can join another club as a 2nd claimer. But if the club policy is that members cannot enter until all the voluntary posts are filled (as happens with other clubs) then faster runners should not be allowed to exempt themselves. Otherwise we have a 2-tiered club.
Let's hope the Chinese follow your example and prevent their athletes from sending a team to the 2008 games. I mean, most Chinese can't make the Olympic team so why should it matter to those who can?
It seems unfair that so many are assisting with the organisation a yet a few are determined to actually compete - what good can a few medals possibly do for the country - far better off marshalling, I reckon.
Not asking rhetorically but do some people choose their running club based on their fast runners? It was never an issue for me.
In answer to your question, "yes", I did - pointless joining a club with nobody else fast there... Even though the club's 3rd fastest runner is now jumping ship... :-(
