Take care all
Glad you had good runs Poppy and RFJ.
Hope you were appreciated Alehouse - not a bad day for marshalling.
18.3 miles for me today, a bit accidental to be honest. Had planned to join up two runs to make a longer one so went out route hunting over some rough ground after about 5 miles. To my surprise, after some soggy boggy stuff for a mile, I found the track of the other route and ran it too. Felt good, achilles only a wee bit sore, ice and ibuprofen doing the trick. Didnt post yesterdays run but had a decent run of 7+ miles on trails.
Lyrics, nope.
Donaldo: Accidental 18 miles! Love it
AH: Hope you were appreciated by all.
BB: Hope it went well
What: 60 miles on the bike done
Why: North Dorset cycle ride for cancer
Last Hard: The last 10 miles today, After yesterdays 14 miles run off road my legs are a bit cooked. Feels like I'm back ½ IM training..... maybe I am.
Last Rest: 11 days
Lyrics; No chance
You'll have to get back into swimming if you are DD!
Have you any more races planned Donaldo?
What about you LMH, whats the next target?
Afternoon! And a hot one at that!
Spent nearly 6 hours at my corner, largely walking up and down clearing water bottles off the road. Very hot: 24/25 degrees and I have never seen so many people walking by the 6k point. Thousands, literally. Managed to cover my 10000 steps whilst never going more than 70 or 80 metres from my spot!
Race report, Benjy? Or are you still running/out on the bike?
How was yesterday, OH?
Easy week, RFJ!
I don't have anything entered at the minute Donaldo but am probably doing Yeovil marathon on 10th June.
Lyrics:no
what: fun half
why: was a rock'n'roll
last hard: behaving and getting -be split
last rest: Friday
Catch up tomorrow. Looks like all had fun and incident free
Enjoyed the run out to Cape Wrath, 26.2 completed in 5h58.
Followed by recovery sea dip then ceilidh seen through to Auld Lang Syne .
DD: Likewise, that's a fair few miles chewed up there on the bike impressive
Ale: Hats off to you for doing 10,000 steps marooned on an island, it is people that do these 10,000 steps that enable these events to happen. Admirable work there.
SC: Good time there with Liverpool, look forward to hearing about it, it is one of those events that sounds really appealing.
Chick: A rest is a virtue and well deserved
LMH: Glad you had a good run today, if weather where you are was like here it would have been mighty fine
RFJ: Good miles and feel prepped and ready. Hope you had good bbq
Ravenscar Half Marathon... It was brutal, the weather was very hot direct sun, then suddenly a cool sea fret crawls in, then goes quickly then very hot again, 700ft cliffs in direct sun. The ascents and descents were very extreme, very steep and never ending. Truly a 13 mile roller coaster.
The route in the majority of places is single file, difficult to overtake and you have to be aware if holding somebody up behind and do the honourable thing and let past.
Getting on to the the flat but still greatly uneven cinder track seemed brief then back to cliffs up and down. The cliff paths were as hard as concrete, the rock hard dry mud tracks uneven and rutted, had to keep on eye on ankle and landing not to stumble in ridges.
The event was extremely well organised, informal and all volunteers and runners extremely friendly. Plenty of comments and discussion of how high is this one as we went round.between everyone.
Brutal but fantastic, I guess it was more fell run/half hybrid than anything else, enjoyed every minute, can't believe I have not done it before, it is on my doorstep, it has gone to the top of my charts for running events done to number one. It is in the diary for next without a doubt.
Did it in 2hrs on the nose (and 17 secs).
