its not far from me just over the border in zummerzet
im in dartmouth that day so no cake for me
This is yet another of Mixy's races that I have been promising to run year on year - they did have some great pics on their website, but not being much of a browser I havn't found them this year!!
...I'll see if I can find out more..
And the cakes aren't usually too burnt (anyway if you don't want your Spice will eat it).
My time last year was 68 minutes (and these days I usually do 48m for a 10k)
See you there!
Im bringing the apprentice to blood him before the Stickler
Trail shoes??
Boffin: I should be easy to spot. Brown and white dog with me at the start. Brown and brown dog with me at the end.
He's OK on LSR but pick the pace up these days and he's had enough by 4-5 miles.
... the other one thinks exercise is for other dogs!!!
I'll be right at the end, no doubt, after 4 races in 3 weeks. And I can't even eat cakes ...but I love trying to run this race - one day I'll manage it properly!!!
(only joking)
The hills are enough to make the race challenging, but not bad enough to put slower less talented runners like me off!
It's a good fun event for the back runners and a good course for faster, more serious runners!
MF, do you were your fell shoes for this event?
The course is all off-road except the first 200 yards. After that it is gravel tracks, grassy fields and some tracks that can become a bit boggy. A couple of the down hills need shoes with good grip, and ordinary trainers won't be really good enough unless you slow down a bit.
The 5 day forecast looks like it will be dry until the weekend, so it shouldn't be too wet.
I entered on-line and got sent a map, did any of you get it?
