Self Transcendence 3 x 1 Mile Relay

ImRio

like to have my hands full Boff!

Boffin

Good job it's not teams of four!

ImRio

hmmm wonder where I would put the extra baton?

[Deleted User]

Rio - how dare you, working late? In fact, just stood up and nearly tipped desk over. Had to, am now off home, 2 hour drive to Cardiff.

See you both tomorrow.

ImRio

ok well at least you have something to keep you occupied on the drive home Daz?!!!!

Be careful - hands free remember!

[Deleted User]

So - is everyone ready for the race tonight? If weather stays like this, should be cool to blast out a relatively quick one.

ImRio

Morning Daz
so how was your understanding wife?

[Deleted User]

As understanding as wives generally are.

ImRio

take it then that your energy levels are up for tonight then?! lol

[Deleted User]

Well it is only a mile, I hope I can manage that. Need to keep some in reserve for Sunday though.

ImRio

Mmmm not doing that one. Will be wandering round Malvern.
Saving my energy for next Friday!!!!

[Deleted User]

Am looking forward to Sun though, a few have told me Brecon is a great run.

Have you done MynyddIslwyn before? - I think entrants last year was only about 20'ish. It sounds hard, but am ready for a pop.

ImRio

No I am only doing it this year because it is organised by the club I run with. And if you ask any of them how I run up our training hills they will laugh!


Last years slowest time was 20mins something well I am likely to be half an hour! lol

[Deleted User]

The course record looks impressive, but makes you realise how tough it must be.

I want to do just under the 10 mins hopefully.

ImRio

It will take me as long as it takes! Probably a course slowest!
As long as I get my pint at the top I dont care how long everyone has to wait for me!

Boffin

Morning, seems the notifications can't cope again today! - caught up with past threads now it has gone all quiet again..

If we all manage to meet up in the same place (no small miracle required there!), could well be a fun event. I think tonight will be burn out city!!

ImRio

Not for me I never do burn out! lol

[Deleted User]

Frre pint as well - great. I'm sure you won't be that slow.

Well this working from home is alright, but must nip out to banks now. One downside, no canteen/sandwich lady, and can't be ar$ed to make anything. Wifey working, two kids out at clubs etc and 1 kid still in bed.

Catch you later.

ImRio

Daz I have to be seen to be believed!
Isn't that right Boff. Everyone has usually given up and gone home by the time I wander to the finish!

[Deleted User]

Boff and I will look after your pint for you then.

ImRio

Ok that sounds good. Have to find somewhere to keep it chilled though!?

Boffin

Are we back talking about the Islwyn mile, or is there beer after the relay??

ImRio

Islywn mile I think

though if someone is buying after the realy..... lol

ImRio

of course that should be relay! think my fingers got excited at the thought!!

ImRio

Of course I could bring a few cool cans and stand guard over them tonight

Boffin

With any luck we will have you running tonight:)

ImRio

Ok so now I need to be healthy and drink some water instead of just coffee this afternoon.

But at least I had a banana and honey sandwich for lunch just in case!

Boffin

All those lovely carbs will serve you well:) If healthy means no coffee - then I am stuffed!

ImRio

Boff it matters not how healthy or otherwise I eat or drink, it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference to my running.

Mustn't forget my redbull tonight though!!

[Deleted User]

Redbull - I was thinking of that, and none in the house.

At least had healthy'ish chicken pasta salad whilst out.

Visited that new running shop on City Rd, looks quite good. Will go again to have my gait analysis looked at.
