After moaning like mad that Keighley were not submitting 2 teams to this , I have been given a place (due to a drop out) running leg one - with Dick Ballentine (gulp).
Dick and I were neck and neck 3 years ago before my injury cycle started both posting 54 at stanbury splash. Last weekend he did 53 and i did 60. You certainly get what you wish for, I am going to get hammered. :cool:
Anyone else doing 1?
I wore Mudclaw 330s. Better to have max grip when you need it, it doesn't slow you down when you don't. Good luck Emi.Quote:

I'm on leg 1 too AS, and am running with my coach :eek: and to bloody top it off have a stinking cold :mad:
Are we running a book on what mile Pudgy will bonk?Quote:

Would anyone like to join me? Please bear in mind that I dont know the course and we aiming for somewhere between 1:20 and 1:30 for the 9mile leg.
PM me ASAP... PLEASE!!! SOMEONE!!! ANYONE!!!
ECRC............Edgeworth cricket and recreation club........an offshoot from Bolton United Harriers...
Dry but bitterly cold weather predicted for Sunday. These relays tend to attract a lot of non fellrunning (inexperienced types) no one on this forum of course......with that in mind the host club has a safety page on the event website which gives some usefull advise. They are also pretty strict on the kit checks which are made (to everyone)at the start of each leg (FRA rules)
www.penninebridlewayrelay.co.uk
They've got at least one decent runner in their ranks that I know of.
Be careful not to drop them when you're running, Anti.Quote:

The summit in, thats where White Holme start/finished. Thats Leg 4 isnt it?
I believe its where leg 2 ends, not sure about White Holme, but its where Emmi is going to pick up the runners who are doing leg 2.
So, who is going to be there around 12 pm...
:confused:Looking on the map of the whole race is shows the Summit Inn being at end of 3/start of 4.Quote:

Shall i bring any sweets, jelly babies, or something else?
Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
