Hail Hail (oooh felt a bit funny typing that!)

Not much changes here does it?

Might swing by and say hello at Red Lion. 

Hail Hail

Best of luck to TR.

Happy B'day TP.  And fwiw, my road shoes (Pegasus) were fine for RAW, and after a hose down are good as new.  Well, if I'm honest, they were pretty filthy already so I'm not too bothered.

57 - no, had to work.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Played ok, but without much bite upfront.  Not the worst result in the world.  It would have been worse had we been playing Queen of the South

Hail Hail

Hello all.  Still alive, still doing stupid races, winning the odd prize while doing so (got a 3rd overall for the SUMS series - not really that impressive, just shows some consistent running, not much more).

Hope all are well.

Hail Hail

Popping in to say "Hello".

Saw TP at the start of RAW (actually I had to shout "Tigerspaw" at her to get her attention!).  Had a tough day at the office - wind, mud, and the cows chasing you back down the hill.  Struggled home for 4th place in 6.08.  FWIW, the course is NOT 44miles, I got it measured (so did at least 1 other) at 40.7miles.  TP - the course is slightly shorter than when I did it 2 yrs ago when it also finished at the Citadel (that year I had it as 41.03miles).  But yes, the wind for almost the whole way was energy sapping.  Thanks to Kirsty who drove all over Ayrshire trying to find the various CPs, mostly to no avail!  Coke and Mars bars - I may have found the perfect race nutrition.

Ended up at the SUMS awards party with 3rd overall for the series rather than 1st MV, as the awards were a bit disorganised.  Nice wee bit of glassware to add to the collection.

Elspeth - Glen Ogle is full, but if you contact Bill, he'll add you to a "reserve list" - wasnt too much of a problem for folk last year.
