i think the GNR is a great event, and has encouraged thousands to run, but lets not discriminate against the people who like to race and test themselves as well. There is potential for everyone to have their own kind of enjoyable day, its just not quite working out like that.
Go back to page 377 and Joggingjon last entry on that page is willing to let you have a copy for no charge - just a donation to charity. I've taped it also but not good quality but come back if no joy.
If i dont i can always forward your emails to jogginjon if he mails me with his address!
FLM, i think might enter the ballot and leave the decision to fate!
Signing off now to go to vickis 2007 thread
Right I'm off to the 2007 thread
See you all over there.
I was unable to meet anyone cos the emotion just all welled up at the beginning (I thought it would hit at the end)(see web site) and I sobbed like a baby and thought this is no way to meet new friends!
Started running well then hit a complication at about 7miles and had to walk for a bit.
I am disappointed at 2.57 but trying not to be too hard on myself. At least I ran the last 2 miles strong and overtook at least 200 who overtook me at the beginning.
For a shortie like me its like being in the land of the giants, I was terrified at the beginning that I would be trampled on.
I did spot purple plodder, chelle and a couple of others and it was nice just to see you.
Lovely lovely locals god bless you and thank you for your wonderous support.
Thanks to everyone on this thread for being the best part of my training programme. Catch up with you again some time.
1st post and my 1st GNR.
I finished in 2:37, very happy just to have finished especial after picking up a knee injury 2 weeks prior.
Hi Rachel, you wasn’t wobbling at 11 miles you used up all your energy getting the tops off the water bottles:0)
Next race Leeds Abbey Dash, hope to see more A list RW forumities.
It has taken me a few days to build up the courage to see how you all did. I unfortunately had a disastrous run. Something snapped in my achilles/calf tendon at mile 2.75 and I had to hobble to the St. John's tent so deflated and dissapointed as the reality hit that I could not continue. Absolutely gutted and really felt terrible to let my sponsors down.
I have described my day on my website: www.wendylawson.co.uk/gnr2006.htm.
All my sponsors have been great and said that I can forward their money on to Breast Cancer Campaign.
I met some great people at the Youth Hostel - I had my green ribbon on - but didn't see any of you guys - but I was already well toward the back of the pack at the start line.
Was fed up that it was hot again, and probably a bit dehydrated at the start, longing for water by the time the injury happened, so could well have been a contributing factor.
So will be back at the start line again next year hopefully to finish on my two feet next time - and this time, no pressure about times - I just hope to finish. Will join you on the 2007 thread.
Wendy
