There will not be a lot of time for a picnic for those coming by public transport. The returning buses to Richmond Station start back from 12.00 and finish at 13.30pm. That only really leaves time for a quick chinwag.
Just thought I would mention it!
wibble
just looked at the 10k training schedules in RW
shame I didn't do that 6 weeks ago heh?
it's cold and bright here at the mo
I suppose I'm going to have to overcome my hatred of queues and leave a top layer in the baggage tent or I'll freeze onthe way there and back?
Have a great race......!
Remember, no pressure.......JUST ENJOY!
Hope to see you guys there, will be wearing my pink hello kitty wristband, a pale pink and white vest and black shorts
Good luck :oD
Hope you all had a good race.
After leading for a short way, I ended up 5th in 32:51 and 1st vet I think.
Knew I shouldn't have been leading, the way he pulled away from me.
Chatted with him after the race, seems he's just coming back from injury.
A different class I think!!!
I really enjoyed the race, feel that I run a hilly course better than flat due to pacing myself better.
I met up with Val and Meerkat and Helen which was great. congrats to Meerkat for her pb. I was not displeased with my 50 mins especially as I wasn't sure I was going to run. Calf was OK but pulled me up a bit on the way to car.
A very well organised event.
Where were you Josie Jump?
I was very late turning up as Mr J and I got lost on Wimbledon Common !!!!!
We finally made camp near the baggage tent and managed to meet up with some people.
Mr J did 1:06, which wasn't bad considering how little training he has done. The I threw down the gauntlet to day to race against each other at Brighton in November.
The consenus to day was that Richmond would be an ideal place for an unofficial forum race so keep an eye out for a thread on the first running of the Forum Frolic Richmond 7 and a Bit.
Great to meet so many people, sorry about the ones we missed.
I think my time was about 1:13, but that included a 5 minute stop at a first aid tent for sympathy and technical repairs to an inhaler, so I'm delighted.
A big thank you to all the organisers and the friendly marshalls. I enjoyed this event.
Weren't we lucky with the weather?
I have put up the thread for the frolic in August so please post there so I don't feel silly :-)
Anybody know who the official photographers were? I think they might have got a good shot of me and I'm so vain I'd like to see it on the web.

Very pleased with my pb of 54.29; that's 6 minutes quicker than my last effort at this distance (although that was two years ago). I spotted Andrew Marr (BBC political correspondent) at the finish, and it occurs to me that I've seen him before, running in RP on Sunday mornings.
Sorry to have missed you Josie, I was looking out for the yellow cycle thingy, but couldn't see you. I might try to make it during August for the frolic, that sounds like fun!
Still ashamed of myself walking up the hill just before 4 miles, but achieved my sub-55m target - counting from the start line, not the start time!
Back to the real athletics.
I'll boing it for you
'Boing' means I'll post on the thread so that it goes to the top of the list and you won't have to scroll down the list of threads to find it. Just go to the General area and have a look.
We had horrendous traffic too, it was solid between Richmond and Kingston, 50 mins instead of 15 and it ended with a crash. Our bus went into the back of the car infront, emergency stop and loud noise. Finishing with foul language from the car driver who was trying to pass off some old bumps on the bus driver who was having none of it, you have never seen a bus empty so quickly,
Lovely place for a run.
We got caught by the downpour just about 200yds before we got back to our car.
