Full Tour of Pendle

[PeeJay]

Can't even remember how to spell remember

[team pie]

This half of team pie was crap! thats me the short one!

Finished in about 3.09 i think but the wheels came off for me in a big way. The words Big Dipper, Bonked, B*"$%*d and Cramp describe my race perfectly...

Shouldnt have raced week before, then trained hard all week. Still love Pendle though great race, great people

P.S think i spotted the pink pony somewhere in the crowds of people, was thinking of suggesting saving me some cake but thought better of it!

[ratfink]

don't say 3:09 was crap - think how us poor slow coaches feel.

Merry Legs i didn't actually have a change of clothes though i sometimes took off my hat.

daz - i wear less on shorter things where i am running faster

have yet to run topless though!!

I first did it in 1982 but I can't rmrmber when it started.

1982 was the inaugural event although it didn't actually appear in the FRA calendar for the first time until the following year. The organiser was John Reade who ran and finished 13th. The winner was Kenny Stuart.

Crap for expectations placed upon myself by myself!!! You know when you have had a bad race, i had my suspicions when struggling to walk up the stairs Wed evening (after race previous weekend and training hard immediatley after) that i may struggle!

A topless tour of Pendle would be fun! tell me when and where?!?!?

I haven't got that quite right. It was included in the supplement to the 1982 calendar which was, I think, sent out to members with the July magazine.

Oh thanks anyway Emmi, you looked 'in the zone' when i think i spotted you so thought best to let you get prepared!

I actually managed to get book off Oven Gloves now so feel free to pass on to another forumite. Its a great read really inspirational.

Am sure we will cross paths soon - i am in calderdale relay next and may run cysclist vs harriers on Sat depending on recovery!

I was going to chat on initial gently sloping road by the res, you weren't in the zone... I just couldnt breath let alone talk. Pink is easy to spot, congrats on 3rd time lucky.
