Please make sure you come armed with your 10Euros per person and we can sort this out at the time. IW is LJS OK ? or do we need to get Garr the road rash victim to step in ?
team 1 - roger the cabin girl
long john silver
mike luchmun - aka Munch Lunch aka Munch :-)
Kelly (IR g/f)
team 2 - yo ho ho
Spans
AnnaSpanna (replacement for Jj)
Debbo's speedy teen
Potential recruit: Garr
Might be good to put Munch on first though.
Location - Mainkai, which is north of the river and very near to the race office, registration, expo and all that. COme out of the YH, turn left, cross the bridge and you're there.
Can I also get my apologies now but I've just tried on my Pirate top and its, well less just say tad on the tight side. Circulation may be a problem towards the latter stages of the 5k.......
Oh and my pre-race excuse for a rubbish time is that I've had no time to train, especially this week where I managed to work 43hours.......in under 3 days.
ps is there anyway we can slow down Spans; she's just going to make us look silly........ :-)
Spans and I have just entered the two pirate teams:
Team 1: 3 Sheets to the wind
MunchLunch
IronSherpa (Kelly)
Long John Silver
Team 2: Pirates Aarrgh Us!
AnnaSpanna
Debbo's Speedy Teen
Spans
Knock 'em dead, girls!
despite Munchlunch speeding off at an incredible pace and setting a first lap of 21 mins for 3 Sheets to the wind, Pirates Aarrgh Us! were the winning pirate team! Hurrah!
I did a terrible 28.5 mins but found the heat exhausting - couldn't get my breath at all on the south side of the river, and ended up taking the inhaler four times (poor old dear I am). Plum's idea of visualising him running after me with his winkler out did little to help. I'm afraid to say he would have caught me.
Debbo's speedy teen wins the record for showboating across the change over line - he sprinted like the wind to set a 23 min 5K PB and Spans (despite ongoing ankle trouble crossed the line in 21 mins, making our team total around 1 hr 12.5 mins
The winning team overall came in at about 46 mins! Quite incredible to watch.
Well done Pirates Aarrgh Us! and commiserations to 3 Sheets to the Wind.
Having thought it would be a small affair, the whole of frankfurt had entered a team. We were competing with the Deutche Post with our kit - they and their supporters were in their branded yellow and black kit too.
