Injured so not doing actual race. Think little biara is having a run, so still going up..

It was a difficult choice between the Stoop & PECO round 2.

Club loyalties won the day, but roll on the Stanbury Splash!)

Another fine race by the Woodentops. Thanks to Dave and his merry band of helpers.

Safety briefing was brill.

"Its icey out there, and if you get knocked down crossing a road its your own fault"

Followed by singing Happy Birthday to a Wharfee runner.
Then GO
Great race run in good fun sprits with plenty of tumbles.

P.S. Walsh's out performed all the Inov's around me in the the race.

Nice day for it, even if it was a bit cold waiting for the start. Conditions underfoot alternated between ice rink and slough. One second you would be running along on solid frozen mud, next second up to your knees in bog. I went down twice, the second time when a K&C frequenter of these fora went face first into the bog in front of me in a spectacular belly flop.

Who won the mens race today. I know that Helen Fines is back to winning ways taking the ladies prize with team mate Anne Johnson in 3rd. Good one. Interesting about Walsh's as I still use them ... that's when I'm fit to race that is. Next year now. This year has been a right off as I sit here now with a blo*dy chest infection that is proving a begger to shift.

Well done to all, a brilliant day weather wise.
Thanks to Dave and Eileen and all the fantastic helpers for making it the great day as usual.
Agree with the above, it was quite funny in that there were lots of "ooooooooohs", "arghhhhhhhhs", and various other cries for attention (including mine!) depending upon the challenging terrain, ice rink one minute, deep bog the next.
Good work everyone, especially the fancy dressers, Ted, that was awesome mate in wellies and the JCB outfit, chapeau!
