www.vlaevents.co.uk Fancy something different?
Anyone planning on doing this race tomorrow?
Yep, after doing Winter Hill and Radcliffe 12 in the last 2 weekends, It will seem like a sprint! Will try to do 6.50ish miling and will be happy with that.
Nice fast finish after coming off the main road, 800m run in.
Good race Pinno, 27th year now I think or thereabouts.
Found it hard going, averaged 5:49 minute miles, when I normally average 5:45's, so slightly down, but first race for a month and only done a week of good quality training in the past month and ran with my cast on so happy enough.
Found that hill after the railway hard going.
Were those mile marks right?
To me the first was over a mile and the 5th over 5 miles, meaning I did miles 4-5 in something like 6:30 and 5-6 in 5:20?
Anyway pleased enough, think I finished just in the top 25 or so.
Yeah, not sure how much the cast affects me, they are so light nowadays I think the main thing is slightly awkward/restricted arm movement, but I've maintained the same training load (miles/ascent etc) while injured with the arm, just ouldn't do any sprint work until swinging it no longer hurt. Quite glad to have managed to get through it without losing too much/if any.
Hard thing is knowing when it's Ok to fell race again, mainly when it's strong enough to take a fall - being the RHS I instintively put that arm out. I'll probably do either Moelwnion or ras Yr Aran as my first race back.
Not sure about the markers, I did about 6.40 miling and my last was 5.49! It is a good down hill though. Having said that I recall the same happened last year.
Anyone measure the race with a garmin on ? I presume that you can click at the markers to check the accuracy.
At least the downpour passed just before the off, so conditions good.
