I'm on the start list for a South Wales fell race on saturday... though our remaining in Tier 3 (not to mention the small matter of the outright ban on travelling into Wales!) means i can't go.
In fact it puts paid to any of the xmas/new year races for me.
Next one on the list for me, Marsden-Edale Trigger, early Feb... talk about a tough comeback race!!
That could well be the case. Got to keep looking forward to the next (potential) race, something to focus on!
In the meantime, there's the club xmas time-trial (organised by yours truly), and the 2nd round of the club XC... as i'm sure we all agree, getting one over on your clubmates is worth more than even the most glorious of victories elsewhere!!
You know that feeling when you join a zoom/teams meeting and there's nobody else there...that.
Quiet. Oh yes. All discussions worn out.
Hang on. I'll try something.
I see what you did there. That should do the trick.
Just watched a documentary on BBC 4 about cigar box guitar makers/players. I totally get it. I swear to god they are fellrunners who forgot to start running.
So while running (there's the fellrunning link) and ploughing the usual muddy furrow up to and back from the trig behind my house this morning, through the driek cloud, my chuntering mind reflected on how with endless brexit-fish wrangling and now the threat to Santa-freight, there's never been a better time to hate the French (there's the firestarter). Discuss?
