Wadsworth Trog

[GeoffB]

I did have an added incentive at the start as id wanted to run quicker and be able to give Geoff his birthday cake as he crossed the line but everytime i looked round he was on my tale. And added to that at the end i couldnt walk put paid to my plans.
Anyway it was nice to give him the cake.
V50 phew. Hope im that good in 12 years time.

The chocolate cake was great, thanks, Daz - we had that after the curry yesterday evening. Thanks also to Emmi for the fantastic apple pie that you baked for me. We had that before the curry yesterday afternoon - scrummy!

The race was excellent - thanks especially to the marshals for going out in the cold & waiting for us. I'd expected a bit more snow, having spent most of Thursday evening up to my knees in the stuff on Kinder.

Agree with Daz, though, a bit of tape at that last left turn would have been handy. And what was all that about running round the cricket field at the end?!!

And what was all that about running round the cricket field at the end?!!

Last year I got all the way around with only a hint of cramp. I got to (what I thought was) the end and cramped up completely. It took me 2 mins to get round that blasted cricket pitch walking like the Tin Man of Wizard of OZ (before he's been oiled). This year, I was ready but I still got cramps and managed a more wooden leg style before succumbing to the spasms over the finish line. Its a bugger and drains any last ounces of energy left inside you eh.
Well Done Geoff and Happy Birthday, hope I'm still running at 50?

Saw one bloke who thought the same and called it a day

Brilliant pics!

How do I contact Dave to get permission to use one of our first finisher for the local paper write up?

Just give Dave a bell - I'm sure he'd be delighted to get one his pics in print :-

I was thinking today at work that i've never run what i might call a local race such as this, because i don't know that area of the pennines i just stick to the dales national park and the lakes which i do. I'll definitely keep the half trog in mind if my fitness improves...whoops there's that wishful thinking again

After Tanky's, I'm up for it. If my spine hold out!
