Trunce 2009 is over and has been a tremendous year.
Over the season there has been 1918 seniors and 359 juniors racing :eek: which gives an average per race of 213 seniors and 40 juniors.
Some trophy winners had departed before the presentation took place after the last race.
2nd Male : 1st Female : 2nd Vet Female : 3rd Vet Female : 3rd Junior Male :
2nd Junior Female
Check with Trunce web site ( www.undeadmonkey.org.uk/trunce/ ) if you are one of these competitors.
PM me or contact me through details in callender to arrange delivery / collection.
Bang on a couple of months to go, checked the site, no news yet..Quote:

Personally speaking, I'd ideally like to get down to 30:00 by the end of the series, hopefully anyway.
(fiirst event was race 6 @ 37:08, & finished race 9 @ 32:12)
Still no T-shirt news? :confused:
I'm trying like hell to persuade at least one of my Club-member collegues who runs 10K's to join me on the start-line, but to no avail as yet.
Plus there's a few runners (ex, & present) amongst the Nurses, & other staff at work, but for some reason they refuse to join me.
I can't figure out why, as I'm sure there's a few 'quickies' amongst them
(we even have one girl who used to train, with Wakefield Harriers, with Emily Freeman, & regularly beat her in races, then she quit to start her Nurse training)
Similar story for me. Last year , the second time I ran it, I managed to get another club newbie to join me. He’s keen to come back again. The rest seemed to get a blank look on their faces when the word ‘fell’ came up......
This time there does seem to be a little more interest, although I doubt that’ll translate into more feet on the ground. Which isn’t really a bad thing, we don’t want even more of us at those bottlenecks?
I have to keep coming back and run this anyway. I had my vest printed with the number!
Ahh, but I'm on about members of a Cycling Club;)Quote:

Only did 8+9 last year not looked back at the results, but I think it was 38:19 & 38:16
I’d been running less than a year and my first Trunce was my introduction to fell races.
Second time would have been better, but I lost concentration for a second and found I was following the pack in the wrong direction and had to dive up through the woods to get back on track......
Shouldn’t repeat that and should hold my place better on the descents this time.
Hoping to get PBs from race 1, but I enjoy this one so much I’ll not lose sleep over not doing. There’ll still be a smile on my face
Doesn't that but you off your running:oQuote:

Less than 5 days to go to the first one. Been round the course and everything looks good. Not much water in the river at the moment but anything can happen in 4 days.
If you are planning on training / recceing the route, please be aware the section between the quarry and the cattle grid, approx 500 metres, is private land. The farmer is very accomodating where the race dates are concerned but has asked that people DO NOT train over his land.
To run the race route you would have to continue up to the road, turn left and continue to the bus shelter in Green Moor where there is a footpath that would take you back towards the cattle grid.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Good to know Andy, no doubt see you at one (or more!) this year.
I know there was talk last year about a series T-shirt? Is this going to happen this time? :confused:
I'm counting the days, & hope to be there on Monday evening ('all being well')
Sorry, can't guarantee bring any (real/proper) Nurses with me, bar SWMBO, but she's not a Nurse anymore
Mark is the man to talk to jodg. He'll be there at all races.Quote:

That's what comes of being so flippin speedy! No sympathy for ya;) How about extra points for the proportion you beat yer pb by? That way you'd get bonus for tonight. Just wouldn't wanna be the one to do the maths! Alternatively just run faster next time!Quote:

Loved it!!
What a superb race!!
Almost didn't make it in time, as the M1 was crawling at 35-40MPH all the way from Carr-Gate (M1/M62 interchange) to almost Calder Grove (jct 39), then an apparant diversion for traffic through Dodworth & Silkstone Common slowed the journey down
I think I did manage to find the deepest hole in the 2nd river crossing though:mad:, as it was above knee-deep!
I'll freely admit to walking a while up the hill after the 3rd crossing, as I was suffering a bit:o
Still, I managed 33:05 (68th/219), so I was happy:D
