Trunce

I'll be there! After Sunday on the Skyline I'm not anticipating a quick time, I'll have to wait for 3 weeks before I can get a good read on my fitness compared to last year! Going to have to get my elbows out and get towards the front at the start this year - I normally start around 100, but last year always finished in the top 10 - every effort to chip a few seconds of that time! The queue at the first style normally materialises just after I've been through it :D

That said one of my favourite parts of the trunce is watching all the banter starts peter out after 500m and hitting the gate just before the queue begins :D
We always try and get a good turn-out from the University to the Trunce - much more fun than the usual circuits session once summer starts!
current pb stands at 26:29, although I remember in my first season being well beaten by Mick and IanDP (I think), who had done the BG 48hrs previously.

LOL just seen this, I think I did 28 something but the DP(trunce?) record for the Trunce straight after A bg is Micks. 27 something. very impressive as thats shifting, although he did say his legs felt heavy on the last climb .... :p

A STILE is something to climb over or leap. How you manage to achieve this, is called " style", OR lack of it. HE he.:rolleyes:

Less than a week to the first one, but I'm not sure due to shifts if I'll be able to get to race 1

Crap!, crap!!, crap!!!

Bloody sodding 12-8s all next week:angry:

Just seen next weeks shift-patterns this afternoon, and bar my days-off (Tues/Wed) & some stupid troll of a manager has now decreed that shift-swaps are 'for emergencies only!'

I foresee mass grievances going in to the union next week about this (new & uncalled for) ruling, as 30-odd will have more effect than one (even if a mass one)
Who the hell are they to tell us what constitutes an emergency - so long as the shift is covered that's what counts.

Aye, don't get caught at the back if you can help it .... :p

Pleased to sneak under the 28min barrier after yesterday - I went backwards on the road today! Going to take a lot of effort to get below my pb, but that's what targets are for.
Great to see lots of people out, even if I was told by a friend that there were elbows at the start!

Results are up on the website now...

290 runners in the senior race! I'm not surprised there were elbows. thats a ridiculous number for a small race, all EOD and results out so quick amazing.

19th for you Nick, I was 5 places behind you and 4th Vet!
