Took part in a 105 km relay race yesterday. There were 15 stages, varying in length from 3 to 15 km. We came 70th out of 80 teams - one runner managed to get lost on his leg which didnt help! I ran a shortish stage, 6.4km in 26:36, so average 4:10/km. Good event, well-orgniazed by a student athletic club.

That was a blatant trip. He even looked round at you
. There were a lot of Wakfield Tri at a half ironman I did last year in Leicestershire. They get around.The Harriers V Cyclists race looks great. I've been looking at training and need to focus on cycling when we visit Haworth and use the hills to prepare for the tris I've entered next year with very hilly bike courses. If we could get there on a Friday I could cycle on Saturday and run fell races Sunday. As it is we have to travel Saturday mornings so will use Sundays for the bike. My kids have a sports club on Friday evening and I can't really stop them doing it so I can run on a Sunday. There goes my Friday nights for the next ten or so years!

I went over to do the Pontefract ParkRun yesterday morning (event 122), & got off the mark a bit better than last time(ie; no pain/stiffness), but lost my pace-maker at about halfway round, as he was slightly too quick for me today. Oh well!!
I got 37/186 @ 23:00 (Terry got 22:14)
In addition; 'Harriers v Cyclists' is well worth the travel to it.
Pit yourself against some of the best Cyclo-Cross riders (& fell-runners in the north of England)
You may even find yourself standing next to Rob Jebb on the start-line, & can congratulate him on his 10 successive 3P CX win!
There's also the chance of a Brownlee ,or two, showing up! ( as both are members of Bingley Harriers)

Hey-ho!
Not long to the 'Withins' now
http://www.woodentops.org.uk/index.php?topic=withins&subtopic=home
Hope it's as nice on Sunday, as it's been here for the past couple of days! If it is, the views are glorious up there!
Doubt I'll get anywhere near my PB for the course, given the recent foot/knee issues, but I'll plod round
Ran it three times before
2010 = 160/345 @ 59:33
2011 = 176/323 @ 1.01:09
2012 = 136/302 @ 1.01:32
2013 = 1.05:00????

A grim day up at Haworth, but I've had a lot worse up at Daves events.
The weather conditions, on the notice board at Signing-on, said; 0degrees, & 30 MPH wind on the tops!!!!!
I started from the back, as I didn't think I could accelerate off the line quickly enough, & was going to just treat it as a run round
Most of the boggy areas were in full-flow, & very wet. At one point, I found ahole, & went to groin depth in a hole (one leg only)
We had been warned that the stone-flags on the Pennines Way, near 'Top Withins' were treacherous, but on approaching this ruin (used as Heathcliffes house' in 'Wuthering Heights') they were easily runnable.
Once we were on wider sections of the Moor, I could pass people.
I had quite a reasonable run in, given my (poor) expectations, & my guesstimated time of around 1.05:00, managing a (self-timed, at moment) 1.03:56

An appalling result!!!, it's what comes of starting near the back, & not being able to overtake people early on
178/261 @ 1.03:57, provisional results at the moment, but I can't see them changing suddenly to lift me by. A 100 places or so

Slightly dodgy 10km run yesterday. Terrible weather - chucked it down the entire time - and was a bit blowy in some places. I think I was probably on course for about 43min, but managed to take a wrong turn on the second loop which resulted in doing an extra km at 5:30. Crossed the line at 49:00 with 11.1 km on my watch.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Since I've now posted an avatar in running kit I probably ought to 'fess up. I started running last year. This year I've done two events - a pancake flat 5-miler in 52'30", and a 10km with a hill in 1:06. Logically, I ought to be able to knock 10% off my times with some more focussed training, and another 15% off with some weight loss. As we all know, logic doesn't always come into it.

If it helps that's still a lot quicker than I managed last year. 83 minutes
. I started too far to the front and tried to keep up, went over where the path becomes a track and hit my knee on a rock on the way down and twisted my ankle, again. I'm full of excuses
My dad went up to watch the start this year but didn't get any photos.

I went to my sprint training today, after a few weeks off, due to work and travel. I was worried that I'd do very poorly, due to time off, and also worried that my cycling might not be good for my sprint training, well it turned out I had nothing to worry about, was on top form. When I took up cycling the intention was that it would be good cross training, well that has certainly proved correct!

One of our Theatre Recovery Nurses came out to join us for the club-run last night, having recently moved up to Wakefield from Sheffield
Sandra arrived late, so I turned back for her, then paced her back to the bunch (so to speak)
Once we'd got there, she started to tell me of her PBs, & it'll possibly place her as fastest female,, if she joins us.
(that said, Wehave a 2 triathlete sisters, who are of quite a high standard, one was apparently offered a fully sponsored place with a team a couple of years ago)
Sandra's run a circa 35 minute 10k!!!!!!, & did a marathon in under 2.47!!!!
I'm so glad she's off-form at the moment
