How do you know they were not in the race ?
He said they freely admit to it.
I went out for a gentle couple of hours on Saturday morning. In Crimsworth Dean not only did I come across a buzzard (never ever seen one of those in my area around Haworth before), but I also came across the Wadsworth Trog. Really enjoyed running up 'the Stairs' with some of the competitors - first time I have been 'in a race' for about 3 years !
Given that I stopped competing those 3 years ago, I did enjoy running alongside those runners for a while but I never for one second felt that I really wanted to be part of the race, which perhaps disappointed me a little.
Why did you give up racing? I'm not good enough to win but thoroughly enjoy the social aspect.
The organisers let anybody who thought they might struggle with the cut off time start an hour early,and they had a time adjustment in the results.I thought Triathlete might have guessed they were not racing due to how slow they were going when he passed them,that was why i asked.A good idea for long races if you ask me.
Sorry, wasn't having a go. Totally agree early starts are a very good idea, encourages first timers/ novices to try events.
this guy wasn't an early starter....was going fast enough to finish well inside the top half of the field
and wasn't carrying any kit at ALL !!!!!
not that clever for a very tough AM race/ run in the snow on your own:rolleyes:
I don't always carry much kit when out for a training run, usually dress more substantially though.
Insurance is a bit of a minefield. If your race is in the FRA handbook then it means that you agree to abide by FRA rules and you are covered by UKA insurance which does not cost the event organiser a penny. If someone chooses to run without registering and therefore runs unoffcially they would not be covered by the insurance.
they may just be taking it as a run out or a training run
