Morning all - chucking it down and windy as anything, hello autumn. NW 1 cat, nothing else out there in the downpour. Any snow up there Gobi, I'm skiing in December and want the white stuff to arrive, have a good holiday. Friday beckons!
Gobi - I know. He does a few! I did hear from HOGS (Lee) that you held the course record. What was the original course? Along the canal? or around caldi?
Multiple laps round some lake in MK - Foxy let me run a few at short notice when I was ultra training. A nice way to run a sub 3 effort with some company.
nothing for me today - didn't get to bed till after midnight because eldest was on a school trip to see a Shakespeare play and didn't get back till after midnight so we are all tired and grumpy here!
Emmy, you are crackers, is 5.30 with you too? I'm guessing I will see you at Dymchurch at the end of the month, with the dog? MC, you should be feeling cultural, not grumpy.
BallBuster fail I'm afraid! Lap 2 of 3 on the bike and got a puncture. Had cold, wet fingers but finally managed fit a new tube only for that to spring a leak too! Four other cyclists with flats along the same stretch suggest that maybe the hedge had been cut recently and there were thorns on the road. Or just coincidence?
Shame really because I've been cranking up the cycling recently and was feeling good on the bike for a change.
Chris - sorry to hear about the race It's a shame. I know that my parents have said there's been a lot of complaints since the olympics about the number of people on box hill
I did the double. Yesterday after lap 5 wasnt pretty but managed to crank it out. I ran 400m this morning and my knee was complaining too much so i did the sensible thing (yes, i know....) and went home, grabbed my jacket and walked the dog.

E mmy - I have now lost track of how many events Foxy puts on now. Did you know I used to have the course record on the original course ?
Gobi - I know. He does a few! I did hear from HOGS (Lee) that you held the course record. What was the original course? Along the canal? or around caldi?

spinning and swimming this morning, and I am hoping for a nap this afternoon
Cold here but very very nice
Did I mention I am "racing" a 10km in 8 days ?
Morning all - 6 miles run and 25 miles biked, very, very wet. Is the 10K back in the UK Gobi or straight up a mountain?

The Spring BallBuster has been discontinued due to objections from the locals about the number of events being held on Box Hill. Shame.
