Another good race last night, with quite a decent turn-out again.
'We' fielded 10 runners (including myself), of whom 2 were first-timers:sneaky:
Pre-race, they were optimistic about the course, one even asked;
"So, is this race cross-country, or on the road?"
I'll presume he was soon put right by the first descent to the kissing-gate & the river:wink:
Personally I know I started too slowly & (in the words of driving instructors) 'failed to make sufficient progress'.
Maybe I was fooling myself, and had found out that 'Thurlstone' & 'Broomhead' had taken more out of me than I thought (any excuse!)
Still, I was happy to finish just outside the top-50, after a bit of a 'potter around' (far better time than I expected too!)
One day, I will crack that '30' minute mark
As an aside, 5 of our 7 previous entrants posted PB's, well done them!
The questioner certainly had decided what terrain it was by the finish:w00t:
Oh, what a grim Trunce!
At the finish, the main topic amongst the finishers seemed to be how 'muggy' it was, & how it made for harder work. I've got to agree, it was a damned awful evening in that respect
Please Andy & Brent, try to arrange a cooler/'drier' evening for round 8!
'Our' numbers were certainly down this evening. with only 3 entering (& a spectator)Originally Posted by RichardAThackeray
Have to agree with that too, really not my favourite conditions for running. Fun as usual, but I was really struggling towards the end - well short of a pb. Should have done a rain dance beforehand or something!

Did you do one then??, as there's practically been a 'cloud-burst' in Wakefield in the past half-hour!
(would've been nice running in rain like that)
Last Trunce of the season coming up on Monday 12th. Usually some decent fancy dress costumes to smile at and may be a little more water to contend with, but probably not a lot.
that superman guy flew round today.
just checked the results and I'm not mentioned any where despite running the race of my life and coming in second..that superman guy flew round today
I knew going as the invisible man was a bad idea......
It was nice to see 3 members of the Justice League there; Superman, Batman & The Flash

But why did no girl show up as Wonder Woman, or Hawkgirl??
Perhaps so, but Flash is getting slowerthat superman guy flew round today
We fielded 7 members in the race, with 2 of us finishing only 8 seconds apart (in 46th & 49th)
I was happy for Peter Davidson ('Penistone'), in seeing him so far up (27th), but I remember the days when i could beat him by a couple of minutes.... think those days are gone now
Is The Trunce on for 2012? The website seems to be down and no updates on the FB page for many months.
