Good luck though.
So, do you do the Benfleet 15 or do you have to marshall? I've got my form and should hopefully be doing it....
Should be marshaling the Benfleet 15.
Last year we had a marshalls run the day before the event and the same goes for the next!
BTW XC sucks so if anyone in the 53-12 series is short of a marshal I can offer my services (but will have to wear my Witham jacket so they know I haven't defected)
TriesHard, I'm doing Grizzly for the first time next year too!
Realy looking forward to it!
Might see ya there then
I'll start processing the online entries soon. They should be posted on Tuesday.
Looking forward to the race!
Looking forward to it!
MUST get back on and motivated to train. Gave up half way through my last session (10x2mins with 30s recovery) and spent most of the rest of the evening in tears!!! But, I've got a good reason now, although I might stick to some longer slow runs.
Looking forward to it!!
Look at jel's post: jel is 48, Mrs jel is 49.
No hidden message. That's just the way your entry forms came out of the envelopes.
Enjoy the race.
135.......
exactly the age I feel today after coming down with a cold!
Need to get back on track over the next two weeks !
The next one isn't until 14th Jan at Thordon Park, hopefully I'll have really improved by then and won't be last!! I'll have to start doing them as I need the training for the Grizzly and the Benfleet 15.
MC, is the Witham 5 only 2 weeks away??? I keep thinking it's ages away, and the Christmas is ages away (wish it was, I'm a right scrooge and hate Christmas)! Must do some more training!
Hadleigh was my first run since the Thanet coastal 10!
(7 days ago!!!)
Finaly shifted the cold, it was good to be able to run again without being lathargic and having blocked airways!
One point in it between 1st and 2nd team, the closest ever!
Lots of pain and suffering today on lots of faces, it's tough course is Hadleigh!
Hopefuly back on track now for Witham, gunning for a final p.b of 2006! Xmas hat and all!!!!
Hope everyones training goes well over the next couple of weeks.
All the best.
See you tomorrow!
Looking forward to tomorrow - I'm well stocked up with sugar and carbs, might even get under 60minutes!!
Good luck all!!
The kids are up nice and early so no pre race lie in. Santa bought me some matching kit so at least I'll look the part even if the Xmas dinner schedule knocks minutes off my time !!
Best of luck today.
I never made it! Didn't feel well when I got up, made the effort to get out, but was too tired and dizzy (no, not a hangover), so went back to bed. Have only just got up again! Gutted.
Well marshalled and organised. I will certainly do it again next year.
Feeling better now (hope you are) but am a bit down I missed it
I'm happy as I went a bit quicker than my watch time ( I couldn't get my gloves off at the finish or do much else come to think of it )
Photos are also on the Smiles4miles site. I love the look of pain etched on my face in the final few yards.
Well done Stet! Sub 30, just how do you do it??? I was aiming for sub 60, which I think I would have done (my pb is 40something, but haven't been well for about a year).
MC - 40.20 is good! You should be proud.
Hope you all have a lovely New Year!!!
Lots of digging deep once I'd realized it was possible at the half way point!
Recovery guinness at the finish line too!!!
Hope you get well soon, all the best for the new year.
