Yep! I'm looking forward to it immensely!Originally Posted by No vice
Trunce.... 'T' minus 31 days and counting!
My next-door-but-one neighbours also run them, so we can 'car-share' all being well.
Personally speaking, I'd ideally like to get down to 30:00 by the end of the series, hopefully anyway.
(fiirst event was race 6 @ 37:08, & finished race 9 @ 32:12)
Still no T-shirt news?
I'm trying like hell to persuade at least one of my Club-member collegues who runs 10K's to join me on the start-line, but to no avail as yet.
Plus there's a few runners (ex, & present) amongst the Nurses, & other staff at work, but for some reason they refuse to join me.
I can't figure out why, as I'm sure there's a few 'quickies' amongst them
(we even have one girl who used to train, with Wakefield Harriers, with Emily Freeman, & regularly beat her in races, then she quit to start her Nurse training)
Similar story for me. Last year , the second time I ran it, I managed to get another club newbie to join me. He’s keen to come back again. The rest seemed to get a blank look on their faces when the word ‘fell’ came up......
This time there does seem to be a little more interest, although I doubt that’ll translate into more feet on the ground. Which isn’t really a bad thing, we don’t want even more of us at those bottlenecks?
I have to keep coming back and run this anyway. I had my vest printed with the number!
Ahh, but I'm on about members of a Cycling Club
Most of mine go blank when the word 'run' is mentioned
All the more reason for a good position at the start, & hold it until the first gate on the way to the first 'Don' crossing
So, how have you done before in the event?
(I only started competing in it between races 6 & 9 last year)

Only did 8+9 last year not looked back at the results, but I think it was 38:19 & 38:16
I’d been running less than a year and my first Trunce was my introduction to fell races.
Second time would have been better, but I lost concentration for a second and found I was following the pack in the wrong direction and had to dive up through the woods to get back on track......
Shouldn’t repeat that and should hold my place better on the descents this time.
Hoping to get PBs from race 1, but I enjoy this one so much I’ll not lose sleep over not doing. There’ll still be a smile on my face
Doesn't that but you off your running
I've been at it 4-5 years
started around 35.00mins last race i did was s sub 28.00 i think and new PB
Will beer vouchers be required on the 29th IDP?
Beer will be available if required
What the Nurses??Doesn't that but you off your running
Well, they wouldn't be in uniform would they?
