Brr, it was cold and wet last night. Not a good night for photos, with a very soggy camera, but if you were there and are interested there are some pictures on http://woodentops.org.uk

Belatedly, I thought I'd post my thanks for a cracking race. My first race for about 15 years and a real eye-opener. I was anticpating a nice easy short race with great views but far from it. I held back at the start because I naively thought most had gone off too fast. Not a moment to relax with lots of little scroats(apologies -highly fit junior runners) always trying to overtake uphill or downhill. I've never had to concentrate so hard on a race. I hadn't a clue as to when the finish was coming up. I couldn't even relax then because somebody was pushing me all the way to the line. When I turned round to shake hands and say 'Cheers, mate' I was greeted by another 5 ft highly fit junior runner. Great craic in the pub afterwards. For the next 4 days I was totally drained and am only now back into training at the same level as before. I'll be back. Thanks a lot, Bunny Master!
Yes, they are pretty intense :eek: The races are quite something as well :D
When they were run from The Guide Inn above Keighley there used to be a bus load of army cadets turn up and race who were equally competitive though not all were up to the challenge! Great fun.
Bunny Run 1 is less than a day away!

I considered venturing over to run this, but the travelling-time to get there (with a suitable park-up/sign-in/warm-up time prior to the start) seemed a bit silly:confused:
Getting along the M62 to Gildersome, then queuing into, & through, Bradford, before heading out to Haworth would possibly have taken anywhere between an hour & hour-and-a-half, at 'rush-hour'??
(heading there via Halifax, as an alternative, would have been equally time-consuming)
(it wasn't that much of an issue when I went over for the 'Stanbury Splash', with that being on a Sunday)
So, sorry, as much as I'd have liked to venture over, logistically it's awkward

Enjoyed last nights event more than usual, (I normally find them far to fast and cheerful) only got passed by about 40 12 year old kids. Felt I ran ok for a short race and then found out I was 10 seconds slower than previous races where I felt awful, ho hum.
It was nice to see all the young people going for it big time though.
