Hello
Great new site, I am new to this forum. Anyone about who has run any races in and around Bracknell lately, eg Crowthorne 5's, Yately 10ks, Woodley, Wargrave, Bracknell half?? Wasn't Crowthorne woods a mess after the rain last night? Good fun though, struggled to run 38.36 with mud everywhere!

I did Woodley, Wargrave and doing Yateley 3 on Wednesday. I take it you ran these.
Have you got a number for Yateley - you will recognise me by the knees.
A few more forumites will be there such as Jacqueline, KeithE and Dustin

Look forward to meeting yoou both.
Did the Bracknell 1/2m (stiff as a board being two weeks after FLM) , and did the last Yateley in July. Running the one this Wednesday (if I remember I'll post my number here later) if not I'll be wearing the URWFRC team vest (blue and yellow) and hoping to beat last months 42.03 pb.
This last view may be revised depending on how Sunday's Milland Valley race goes - it's supposed to be hilly (gulp).
Maybe a bit of a throwback but my only visit to Bracknell so far was for the "Great Sams" half-marathon in October 2000.
It was, however, a very memorable day for me personally as, on a very windy day & just a fortnight after smashing my marathon PB, I finally beat a half-marathon PB which had stood for nearly three years.
It was some time later in the day before I reluctantly took my medal off!
I have just run the Hook Norton Hooky 6 (m) yesterday in Oxfordshire. Pleased with a time of 37-56 as it was fairly undulating. Hook Norton is a pleasant little town between Banbury and Chipping Norton. I'd recommend it to anyone if they can be bothered to drive that far (I was en route from Coventry anyway).
I'm now in Hampshire but lived in Rainham/Gillingham until my wife kidnapped me and took me away from the delights (?) of North Kent.
Still parents still live in Rainham so I'm over there quite often.My training runs for my first marathon took me along the A2 from Chatham to Newington.......
What a small world it is! I've lost count of how many times during a race I've run alongside a fellow runner who at some point in their lives has resided in the Rainham area (perhaps we've met during a race).
You ran from Chatham to Newington! If that started with an ascent of Chatham Hill then you earned the flat/mildly undulating terrain that followed it.
