and I will be delighted for you when that is the case, you certainly have no excuses not to get faster, In fact first solo race you beat me in I will happily give you a tenner, it will happen - just when. We shall have to compare race diaries at a later dateQuote:

Amazingly quick results for such a complicated event, especially as it's all achieved without dibbers! Well done to all at Halifax Harriers.
Didn't see many forumites on leg 2, but thanks to Flightless Bird for his shoe advice which was spot on (even though he tried to stampede me into a late change!)
I think Millipede said hullo as I was dashing to register. I'm sorry I only realised too late to reply.
As for the run, I thought I was struggling but somehow managed to finish nearly 8 minutes faster than last year, despite being less fit. It's something of a puzzle, though not failing to locate Stoodley Pike helped save a couple of minutes compared with last year's foggy outing.
Can I just ask the Rossy lot to pass on my congratulations to my mate Gerard Navan today for the run of his life:D
Even if it is an error in the results, to be showing as fastest leg agead of RR and Carl Hardman is worthy of credit.
Tough luck Andi;)
Another cracking day in Yorkshire was had by the whole of salford, A team, B team and supportors.
Many many thanks to Halifax Harriers, Linda Crabtree for notifying me that my team wasn't entered and the race was filing up fast and all the marshalls and supporters on the route.
Its an amazing event and results on line the same night is cool. If UKA were involved they wouldn't be on the net till at least Wednesday!!!!
We had focused this to try and win the event again and we all have next years date penciled in our diary!
This event is great due to the sheer numbers involved and the friendly atmosphere it creates.
I am studying the results closely to see who ran quicker than my mate and I on leg 4 as it says second fastest next to our names.
See you all next year. (Or even some of you at The Stoop next Sunday!)
I hjave checked this Andi. Nobody beat your time
Where can we find a list of fastest times ever o each leg?
The results only go back to 2002 and we are faster than any of those listed. Even quicker than our John and Billy who in 2003 ran 1.01.38.
I can't find anyone faster either. Congratulations Andi and see you at The Stoop (briefly, from behind :D).Quote:

I don't know if there's been any route change since then though.
2009 - Rossendale Mixed - 101st place - Gerard Navan and Amanda Kilshaw 32:42 Leg 4
New Record:D:D:D
Holmesey's going to be sooooo gutted...Quote:

Great day - thank you to all the organisers. Really enjoyed myself.
I found the list shortly after posting and am contacting my Doctor because thats the only way we will run Ian and Marks time!!!!
I have to say a big well done to the rest of my team today, it was a great day for us (Holmfirth Harriers) its the 1st time we have been in the 1st 3 since 1986. well done halifax for a great event.
Helped in no small part by a great leg 6 run, well done lads, esp. Sharky who was touch and go with a knee injury. Got to be sub 60 next year!Quote:

Definitely a great day for Holmfirth yesterday - so much so that I decided to wear the club centenary tie for work today. Sorry if that's a little sad.
Excellent to watch our leg 6 pair finish with most of the rest of the team there to cheer them in. Just what makes this relay such a brilliant event - many thanks to all the organisers and helpers.
Can the amber vests go one (or two) places better next year???
Because they had no runners on legs 3,4,5 and therefore took penalties of 3,4,5 hours respectively. Those who did run were not the slowest on their legs. So maybe not such a bad performance after all. Nice to see them raise a full team next year. :)Quote:

I wasn't having a go, thanks for the explanation. It's just a friend of mine did the whole thing on his own in 11 and I couldn't understand how it was so slow or in the dark, or how leg 4 was done in 32 minutes (my leg) :) Anybody who does any of this fast or slow is a star. I'm commiting to run every leg there and back (separately of course) in the New Year with my Wormstone (wife)Quote:

1:32:00 is more believable, but as it says results are provisional and subject to scrutiny.
at the start of leg6 an x-harrier got caught out when his leg5 runners arrived,
he duly ran to his car to place his new jacket,
he fumbled with his fob until it opened,then fumbled to get it to lock.
what seemed like an age he then scarpered down bridle style after his mate,
then about 3 minutes later came back to collect his bum bag.
despite that he still had a good run.
i would tend to agree especially when you look at their leg 5 runners who were 30 minutes slower then the next slowest leg5 runners so that says they are at 30 minutes out with their timing. be interesting to see if it standsQuote:

Still waiting for news of any DQ's for a false start that might move us up the rankings a bit:D
i was at Todmordon and saw that as well. glad we got there earlish as it was a hell of a Q for the kit checkQuote:
