Calderdale Way Relay

[Pike]

If anyone can PM me with corrections / updates / suggestions for the route descripions, I will endeavour to get them updated before laying them to rest for another year. In particular the start of leg 1. But even if it's only trivial, things change each year, so do let me know.

[Alf]

I was on a leg with a lot faster than me runner but he was very
encouraging and his lead at times allowed him to find a better
running surface just off the track for me in some places
which helped my struggling legs
I didn't want him to run "at my pace" though, I wanted a slightly
faster pace and only he could supply that by doing the leading.

[Marvin]

Incidentally, where's the thread describing in detail how Marvin managed to drop our baton and didn't notice until he'd run another 3/4 mile, thus having to go back to for it? I can't find it anywhere.

I'm too embarrassed to go into this. Sorry guys!

[Pike]

I was amused to see the variety of kit folk run with. I'm sure some of those rucksacks would be too heavy to check-in as hand luggage. And did "Marshy" really get round leg 5 carrying a telly?

[Chaddy the Owl]

Marshy through he was off out on a 10 mile trek, hense he needed supplies.

Give Sale credit through- it was our 1st fell relay and we managed to get 24 runners out. Some of the athletes had never done a fell race before and didnt realise you needed a 'bum bag' to run.

I'm very proud of all the 24 yesterday- hopefully we'll be alot stronger next year.

I was running with a team mate who is a little slower than me. He was also struggling after a short distance in to the race. I slowed down and we discussed the problem. I said to him that he should set the pace and I will follow. He told me to run on because seeing me further ahead was the only thing keeping him going. He had to chase me down and this kept him moving. He was screwed after the race but well worth it. So, it works both ways. I never got mile ahead of him anyway as I was already at the next gate to open it and close it. I think he was very grateful of this.

that's exactly what i did with my partner,I just hung in for dear life all the way to the end,we could have had wharfedale if i wasn't blowing out of my arse

Thanks to everyone who helped put it on,much appriciated
