Recced leg three yesterday; either frozen solid and more like skating than running, or thawed out and deeply muddy. Hope it thaws out for Sunday as I'm not so good at skating; I already have the bruises to prove it.
Cheers- Raymond
p.s. top tip don't forget to take your glasses when recceing...it can make the whole process a little lengthier than needs be.
any nice leeds folk (eg valley striders....?) going over to leg 5 and can offer lift to well behaved and clean wharfedale harrier....?
I might pop up and see you lot running on Sunday! Where are you finishing again?
i have gone from running leg 2,then to leg 5,then to leg 1,then leg 6,then leg 1 again and now i am on leg 5.
but then again i am putting our teams together so i blame myself!
managed to recce all legs this year,they all seem to be harder now or is it old age?
good luck to all sunday,lets hope there is no snow.
So your running Leg 3 or 4 then Dylan:confused:Quote:

I am gutted not to be running this year - got injured 3 weeks ago. And it's possibly our strongest team ever - hopefully not famous last words! I am still coming, to cheer the guys on :)
I had selected myself for leg 6 which would have been new for me. I seem to go well on leg 1, my favourite leg, but my "rigorous" selection process this year proved I couldn't justify selecting myself for it. It's academic now, anyway.
I can vouch for that;)Quote:

It will be interesting to see if anyone gets the new 5 minute penalty for not wearing club kit.
Everyone ready for tomorrow's relay race?
Anyone want a run? My hamstrings gone a bit and would prefer not to risk it.
Unfortunately yes, I am on leg one and its 10 miles. Post here if interested :confused:
What if you have it on under a cag?Quote:

Good trot round L1 although my partner had a stinker due to a chest infection but he ran round so the team would count. 1:32 but should have been 10 less on a normal day. I believe Karl Gray was flying.
So was Ben Mounsey!!!Quote:

Not sure myself Compo, but It was Wharfedale, Horwich, Holmfirth, then quite a gap to next three who were Clayton vets, Rossendale, Bowland, not sure of the order though.
Any news on the positions of the Ladies teams?
Bingley Ladies won...don't know anything else...took me till 6.30 to find that out!Quote:

I think that the next three Ladies teams were Ilkley, Calder Valley and Holmfirth but not necessarily in that order. General consensus seemed to be that we (Holmfirth, in case Compo wasn't too much of a giveaway) were probably 4th. Some good performances by the amber vests today!
Back to the mens race - who came 5th? So far we seem to have the top 4, then Calder Valley in 6th, then Wharfedale, Horwich, Holmfirth - presumably 7th, 8th and 9th. I can't think of another team that could have snuck into 5th... Any ideas??? or was it Calder Valley / Wharfedale?
Wharfedale were 5th men's team.
Highest ever placing for the Wharfeemen, just fo't record:DQuote:
