Anniversary Waltz

[Hamertime]

This race is only nine days prior to Boston Marathon which i have been training for since November. Not sure I should have entered really but it seemed such a highly regarded race.

Very much looking forward to the route - have got meself the PB map and even organised to be dropped off at HQ to help ease the vehicle congestion. But is it OK if i just jog round without trying hard?

Hope so, that's what I'll be doing!

Well actually I'll probably be trying very hard but getting nowhere very quickly!

I may well have snuck in then as the last senior entry - I entered on-line only yesterday night.

Hey - they're some of my better ones.

It's looking like I might be taking some on Saturday at the Waltz. Still injured from the Skyline.

But before that you were injured from the Wadsworth. Make up your mind.

I'm staying near Grange Friday night - was going to stand at the Manesty road junction and thumb a lift. Got to be a few people driving over that way before the race, won't there ...

Injured?? Was that from carrying all that silverware?!!

What are the parking recommendations? My non-running wife may be interested in the race HQ if there are cakes to be purchased otherwise her interesting in my running has been almost zero once the novelty dropped off (decades ago!)

Had a good look through last years photos again and it looks like an enjoyable route provided I don't blow out early on and take poor route choice through rocks. Target 3hrs which hopefully means there will still be a few around (managed similar distance on Sunday in just over two hours but Great Hill provides much less climb than Robinson, Dale Head etc. - and more to the point less descent)
