Like elephant feet , think my legs are still recovering from brass monkey, although last 3k were the fastest of all.
What's everyone up to next?
Nice T shirt as well!
Well done to Dewsbury RR for such a great race, you'll be seeing my next year for sure.
Having had 10 days off due to skiing, and then having run Friday and yesterday due to feeling guilty I wasn't expecting much. Got fooled by the hill (where exactly does it start and finish?) but ran what I expect is a normal negative split by almost a minute to do 39:31 on the watch - not my best but near enough all things considered.
BR - think I saw you on the course and possibly warming down in some salubrious area of Dewsbury as well - and I think I also saw you warming down after Brass Monkey - I was with two other guys and a girl today - one of them a tall lad with dark hair.
Big PB for me too. Knocked 1m24 off. Down to 45m28s.
Assume that was you at Brass Monkey - did you jog down the cycle track by the race course and back?
Those people who are saying their times were a bit off having raced Brass Monkey (and even Ferriby 10)...
It takes a full 2 weeks for the damage from a HM to fully leave your legs. So for the last 2 weeks you've either been in recovery mode or (more probably if you're in a club) delaying that recovery by hammering club sessions.
Trust me, I've done that plenty of times...
Andy - well if you're posh and got the money to go skiing you deserve all you get:-)
I started having probs at the start of the week and knew that I would be a doubt! I was ok until I ran up the stairs to the loo in the sports centre, then felt a twinge! As I started off it tightened up....Looks like another trip to the Sports Injury Fella!
Miss B done it in just over an hour - not bad for her first ever...and she's only been running for three weeks!
Well done everyone!!
Congrats to all who organised it and took part - hope to see you there next year to see if I've improved
Yes really! At the back (59ish), the traffic was quite bad. I won't be doing that again!
On the whole i think Dewsbury is an excellently organised race. BUT, it's never 100% so maybe you want to write to the organisers with some constructive critism.
Bear in mind DRR have no control over the police though, but they may pass your comments onto them, reminding them that people running 60mins are just as keen on their times as those doing 30m.
Andy from Embsay, I was warming down with BR in the salubrious area, did we pass you just before the turn right?
I enjoyed the race but my reluctance to rate the scenery on the ratings page has made the overall impression to be 60% and it isn't that bad, just that if you notice the scenery, you aren't running fast enough! Well done Dewsbury RR!
Anyway, if you're a fan of Victorian Industrial Architecture the scenery is quite interesting...
I saw some bad traffic today too - one orange megane was in danger of being mugged by angry runners, it was driving about a stride behind a guy, and the police said nothing. Another was beeping at runners! It is only one day a year.
Another Dewsbury another PB so I guess despite moaning about the early start etc I shall be back for more next year. Thank you Dewsbury Road Runners.
Was waring a pink www.stacey-louise.co.uk t-shirt
Pb , by 9 secs for me, and I was thrilled as I hardly ran in January for various reasons!
Mr J, beat last years time so he was satisfied with that. (Has only run once in January)
There were a few obnoxious motorists...and that megane driver was top of the list!
Good to see a few forumites, I think I shouted at BR..well it was somebody in a Barnley vest, I think I gave U/A a heart attack (gabh mo leithsceal), and somebody cheered me for my green ribbon but I don't know who!
Torque Steer, we went to Sainsburys again for breakfast, we were waiting for you!
I can't stop smiling, I can't believe I ran that quick ( for me) after last month!!
Yipee..Mr J and I have decided already we will be back for 2007 !
Curry tonight to celebrate!
( "I like to move it, move it "!!)
Did anyone else nearly loose there footing in the last 500 m?? I felt the ground was very slippy
