:D
Straggler - can I buy a ticket or 2 anywhere other than the Trunce? I like the look of that picture, and would like to support the MRT more, without drinking too much resue ale!
(see - not all Dark Peakers are as tight as Ian ;) )
Charming you go out on the hill in all weathers at all times and this is the thanks you get.....:) I did put my hand in my pocket but you wouldn't except the £1.38 plus some Euro cents that I had there...Quote:

What is it knock Ian Day......Quote:

I don't do Trunces - it'd take me forever to get there, and I'm shocking at running on the flat....Quote:

Not looked at races so which one do you mean?Quote:

Paul, i'd suggest you give the money to Ian but not sure how trustworthy he is tbh...
i think we might be trying to sort out a 'justgiving' page on the WMRT so you could donate via that, i'll let you know if it happens, If not we can sort something else out i'm sure

We also have a Bob Graham corner so if you've completed the BG and have had a drink int' pub you will get your name on the "scroll" of honour.Quote:

(unless I can wangle a swap with a collegue)
Just a reminder to flag it up to the top of the list, as a couple of people have asked about it over last couple of weeks. Anyway, its tonight.
Can't believe I've missed the last few with injury. I'm bringing at least one newbie tonight.
Can't wait :D
Good race last night. Warm evening. Firmer underfoot than expected, apart from the second descent of course! Smaller field of runners than usual? Couldn't manage a PB (too many miles in the legs) :thunbdown:.
My two newbies loved it and will be back for more :thumbup:.
I can't make the last 2010 Trunce because I'll be on holiday, but as always thanks to all the organisers for all their efforts not just last night but throughout the year. Its a pleasure to get over to Oxspring to race it.
Aiming for 9/9 in 2011.

9/9 would be impressive 5-6 as been my best for various reasons.
Try and get a big turn out next Monday, as long as Keith gets beaten I will hold my position in the summer series :)
Hi IanQuote:

Happily, an imminent change in my work situation means that I may well be working closer to Sheffield very soon rather than the other side of Donny. The present commute is a pain in the a*se. Anything from an hour to sometimes two depending on what they've decided to dig up that week. I should therefore soon be running at more club races than I've been able to get to over the last few months ie all of them instead of zero! :thumbup: Especially since shaking off the injury :D
Hope you are well, enjoy the sun while you can! I think you are holding steady around about 16th / 17th place overall in the Trunce standings. As for the Summer Series well...
Write up of last night on my blog if you are interested.
It's the vets positions that I'm worried about:o, not so worried about Monday as the crashout attracts quite a few extra runners as it's a DP classic. awaiting the final result with bated breath :DQuote:

See you on Monday evening Andy, as I've made sure that I'm available for this one!
Is it still a fancy-dress run? (even if optional)
If so, I might just manage to convince a few gullible people that I'm really a runner http://www.landyownersclub.co.uk/mor...t/maratona.gif
Some say Monday is compulsory fancy dress and there is even talk of a load of nurses running (someone promised :D)
All we know is there's a least one bloke in drag .............. :w00t:

Is this still relevant??
Car Park Closure:
The culvert has been finished but we still can not drive over the newly seeded area so registration will be to the left of the slope from the car par. Please do not park in the pub car park, this is for pub customers only.
Andy
Fancy dress is optional.
Oxspring parish council have asked us not to drive over the seeded area.
Weather forecast is good,so the football field should be dry and sound.
Registration will be where it was for the T8 and results will be done in the Rafters bar as for T8.
See you all Monday
I believe WMRT will have two stretcher teams racing round this year. I'll bring some Ale along if any one want's some.
A good turn-out, or so it seemed!
T'was just a pity the rain didn't hold off, especially as it was the first 'Trunce' that SWMBO had come to............... don't think she was too impressed at standing on the railway bridge for the start, then at the finish.
Some good costumes too!!
Results from Race 9 are now online, along with final results for the 2010 series ... http://www.trunce.org/
A big thanks to everyone who has taken part this year :)
Thanks Mark.
No PB for the Stretcher 1st stretcher team although I will check. 46.41 for the "A" team and 52.53 for the "B" team,

Some of my pics from last night, afraid they're not very good, I'm very much a "point and click" type amateur when it comes to photography!
