On the bright side, it encourages you to do short champs races, as then you get a time versus first lady because you're running a separate race.
Can I join in Daz?
Not sure how many races I'll manage (only did 2 or 3 last year) but hopefully get a few in.
First up is the Hebden Challenge (does that count?) on the 19th Jan.
Thanks for getting the ball rolling Daz.
Many thanks Daz for setting this in motion again. I'd like to join please. I can get in at the start of the year this time. :thumbup:
You said ANY race, but in the interests of common decency I think I'll continue to leave out the Parkruns. :rolleyes:
January races for me are Belle Vue Racers Hit The Trail, Lamb's Longer Leg, The Hebden and Kinder Trial (the last one will probably be a zero-pointer, knowing me).
Em, like Stolly said.....
I suggest:
No park runs
No cross country races
No road races
Only one running of repeatable fell races (eg The Trunce) allowed
Just off road/trail and fell races - FRA, BOFRA and LDWA all okay
Carl Bell with a bloomin new record 51.44 and I sloped in just behind him at 77.32Quote:

Thanks.
Not that I'm bored....

Stick the times in and it gives you a score. I think it's right, I'll tart it up later when I've been for a run.
Brill mate, just what was needed, now to get you too an event.Quote:

after that, I will put up an initial 2013 table, then we can all migrate...

So let me get this straight------ i race and get 31 points Darren (tindersticks) races and gets 70 odd points, i have as much chance of beating him as i have of standing out side Buckingham Palace with Daffodils growing out of my arse shouting god bless the king, and the father of Kates unborn is from planet Zogg, while eating Frozen Prawns and not getting locked up for being a nutter?
Or am i missing the point?
Why don't we have a mens and a womens league? Just leave it in the same table but put M or F after each forumite and let the women calculate their score from the leading lady. That way we can get a fair overview of both.Quote:

Joking apart last years was great. Why don't we just leave it as it is?
Personally I'd prefer to keep it as it was, i.e. 'competing' against the men, just as we do in actual races (well, most of them). Having said that, it would be good to have the M or F listed next to each name so we can also how we are doing against others of the same gender - gender isn't obvious from some forum names (cough, cough:o).Quote:

I'm up for keeping it the same. I'm not bothered about winning as, like in any fell race, I will never win it but it is actually quite nice to see how I rank against the men in the races and on here. Having said that, if any women can be bothered to start a 'ladies' champs, I'd do that too. Occasionally I get lucky and the fast women don't show up so I get a good position:thumbup: I came second in the Bransdale race last year (after running Borrowdale a few days before) probably because nobody knew where it was! (cracking race by the way...check it out)

First race looking like Lambs Longer Leg next weekend - perhaps give Stagger some competition!
Can I recommend the Ian Roberts race from Marsden CC in March? Seeing as I'm organising it, I'm prepared to let everyone else take the points...!!!;)
Count me in Daz. Mind you, I'm not sure I'll be running at all in Jan. If I'm fit enough, it'll be the Hebden. Feb Anglezarke Amble & S. Shropshire Circular. Unless LDWA events are excluded, in which case see you in March...
**Puts hand up** please can I play ?!
Thanks to Dom's calculator (sheer brilliance) I think I get a massive 22 points for the (hungover thanks for the sympathy Amex) Giants Tooth :o
Planning to have a go at Tigger Tor so perhaps I can improve on my January score there (it will be my 40th so always hopeful of some birthday magic)?!
Behave Hobbsy. Sub 40 you win, 40 to 44 racing. Was only going to be a post injury jog round.Quote:

38 points from Nine Standards.
I should improve this at Helm Hill's Kendal Winter League as Carl Bell doesn't generally enter those!! Scout Scar tomorrow, might see some Forumites there!?
Ok I'm in, hit the trail at Stockport for me tomorrow.
Dan:thumbup:
Daz I don't mind what ever way it's done but like the idea of a F or M just for some comparison of possible? Do you need to know just a couple of races in advance and can my points be magic'd on the table too please?! Thanks for doing this it's grown it seems and is a lot of work are you sure you don't mind??
Clay Bank East will be my first outing tomorrow.
Could be closer than you think! Visit to physio on Tuesday to work on creaking knees!! I'm OK on the ups - it's the downs I'm feeling!Quote:

Amex - Yes, you're missing the point!
emmi - I've put an F against my best guesses as to who's female! you don't have to declare races in advance, but it adds to the fun if you know in advance that several of us are going to be at the same race...
all - let me know if I have your gender wrong!!

Daz you are a star deserving of a pint if I ever find myself at a bar with you! ta x
I'm planning on doing the Tigger Tor at the end of the month too. Do club races count? I like the calculator!
