I'll be there! After Sunday on the Skyline I'm not anticipating a quick time, I'll have to wait for 3 weeks before I can get a good read on my fitness compared to last year! Going to have to get my elbows out and get towards the front at the start this year - I normally start around 100, but last year always finished in the top 10 - every effort to chip a few seconds of that time! The queue at the first style normally materialises just after I've been through it
LOL just seen this, I think I did 28 something but the DP(trunce?) record for the Trunce straight after A bg is Micks. 27 something. very impressive as thats shifting, although he did say his legs felt heavy on the last climb ....Originally Posted by ba-ba
I am a serial 'start at the back' runner - OK, well not at the back but not as near the front as I finish.
That said one of my favourite parts of the trunce is watching all the banter starts peter out after 500m and hitting the gate just before the queue begins
We always try and get a good turn-out from the University to the Trunce - much more fun than the usual circuits session once summer starts!
current pb stands at 26:29, although I remember in my first season being well beaten by Mick and IanDP (I think), who had done the BG 48hrs previously.
A STILE is something to climb over or leap. How you manage to achieve this, is called " style", OR lack of it. HE he.
Crap!, crap!!, crap!!!
Bloody sodding 12-8s all next week:angry:
Just seen next weeks shift-patterns this afternoon, and bar my days-off (Tues/Wed) & some stupid troll of a manager has now decreed that shift-swaps are 'for emergencies only!'
I foresee mass grievances going in to the union next week about this (new & uncalled for) ruling, as 30-odd will have more effect than one (even if a mass one)
Who the hell are they to tell us what constitutes an emergency - so long as the shift is covered that's what counts.
Aye, don't get caught at the back if you can help it ....
Pleased to sneak under the 28min barrier after yesterday - I went backwards on the road today! Going to take a lot of effort to get below my pb, but that's what targets are for.
Great to see lots of people out, even if I was told by a friend that there were elbows at the start!
Results are up on the website now...
We're not worthy, we're not worthy!!
Well done Mark, Brent, Nicky and Andy, fantastic service.
How many newbies were there? the queue was massive tonight!
290 runners in the senior race! I'm not surprised there were elbows. thats a ridiculous number for a small race, all EOD and results out so quick amazing.
19th for you Nick, I was 5 places behind you and 4th Vet!
