I suspect others may be there Gaz, keeping quiet for now but then trying to steal my position at bottom of the Grand Prix series for my age category.
Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
Aiming to be there John - do us Athletes () get to scoff the cakes baked for the raffle ?
I'll be there Brummy, you cant be in my age group cos I'm firmly routed at the bottom there
Should be a couple of Ponies there tonight. Watch them droppings
How did you do Pudgy and Brummy John?
The race does not always go to the swift, but to the ones who keep running
Well then John, did I win a cake? if so, enjoy (School bus didn't arrive till 10.20 so could have stayed).
Great production from Middleton Harriers, nice race, Many thanks
With regards
Gaz
I think Brummy nearly caught me. Even Fleeter passed me, how bad's that! (put him in his place by elbowing him out the way, then using my vast bulk to block the narrow path)
Decent course that makes sense when you run it, even though it looks a bit odd on a map, and the cakes are good
Think I'm suffering with the hay fever. I was running well for a whole 5 minutes, then my chest went as tight as a gnat's chuff. All kinds of geriatrics went past me. Even John Doe managed to squeeze his zimmer frame past, on a down hill of all things! Must have fitted wheels.
Don't know what happened to Disco Smurf though, the mid way ice creams must have proved too much.
Anyway, cheers to Middleton Harriers, and well done to John Brown, a storming run
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who turned up to support the race. Hope you all enjoyed it and sorry if anyone didn't get a goody bag at the end, not enough to go around (tried my best).
Weather wasn't too bad with a nice shower to cool you all down.
Hope to see you again next year.
John hope you didn't eat all that cake last night, and the chocs??
Tracy
I was hoping you would keep quiet about the cakes and chocs Lawless. You ultrarunners are hopeless at keeping secrets! One was won with my ticket and the other was won with Gaz's.
Anyway the cake wouldn't keep, so with some help form its been scoffed down (it was lovely, cream sponge with jam filled sponge mushrooms on top). I will hand over the choccies to Gaz at Stoodley Pike, Holme Moss or the 10K next week if you are at any of these Gaz?? The bottle of wine is non-negotiable and will be put to very good use, possibly at the weekend.
By the way thanks Tracey for all the hard work from you and the rest of Middleton Harriers. It went like clockwork again and deservedly there was a great turnout. Loads of prizes too.
Hopefully results out tonight and there will be loads of pics and a video on Youtube thanks again to Ian Slater. They might take a bit longer cos I'm off to Snowdonia for a few days.
