I'm doing this Daz. See you there.
it's not an ADAC champs race is it Swoop?
I know GVS have it in theirs
It is in the Altrincham club road championship, yes.Quote:

I don't think John does road running. Mind you I don't think he does any running - last seen mucking about on the river I heard.:DQuote:

Aye... got to get sub 60 minutes ..............PLEASE.............!
It's the only road race I do but is gorgeous. 17 year old son doing it too, probably sub 50!:rolleyes:
See you there!
I clocked 59:15 2 years ago, so sub-60 already in the bag! :p
hoping for sub-57 this year
sub-56 would be super-cool (sub-8min/mile)
however, 21 miles out yesterday recceing Grindleford Gallop route is probably not the best preparation :rolleyes: :o
I did 52.36 in 2009. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead!Quote:

Doh!!!!!!!! Missed it again, even if by less than a minute.
Maybe the trip to the Lakes took too much out of my calves... they certainly were smarting going up and down.
Of course, the lad made a fool of me... by about ten minutes.
See what the proper results show... might have PB'd.
Couldn't hang on to you Daz!
Thats a fun race. Lots of up then lots of down. My first road race for about 4 years.
I did it in about 53mins. Will be back next year with a sub 50mins.... I hope :)
Always nice to have a cat with you Daz. What time did yiou get this year?
Now what have you been up to?Quote:

I finished in 58:23, but it took me 48secs to get from where the old finish was across the dam to the new finish, so I would've clocked 57:35 in old money! :wink:
think I paced myself better all round, apart from going off rather too fast (7:15 first mile! :w00t: )
Did it in about 58.30. About a minute slower than last year despite this year running all the climb and getting a sobre night in before! It's a great race though as others have said for the friendly crowd. Thinks it's been said before but feels like a fell race on the road. Top marks all round.
Silly me!!
:)
Well run Daz.
Yep, its a very nice event. I'll be back next year for sure.
Tim
That's probably where I went wrong... I kept you in sight until Withenshaw Lane and then didn't see you again.Quote:

anyone else turning out tomorrow?
my first road race in over a year!
Marshalled it Daz, up by the Leather's Smithy. Doing a few gentle runs as my back and knee allow, but not been in a race for quite a while now.
Aiming to be able to do Roaches 2016.:rolleyes:
Good to glimpse you, but couldn't hang around at the end.
Good to see you there, Daz. Simon I probably saw you as well but wouldn't have known (sorry).
Last night I uploaded the photos I took. In the early ones you can see the rocket smoke rising just before launch. As we set off running it came back down to earth, swiping the runner just to my left in the process. She was fine - no harm done from a bit of (warm) cardboard tubing.
The rain at the end came as a bit of a shock after the forecast for clearing skies and no rain. It was soon forgotten as the tea and cake went down in the church hall afterwards. Marvellous, so it was. :)
