Bit of a long shot

I did a bit of running back in the 90's and then lapsed and am now trying to get back into it.

I ran in 2 10Ks in 1995 in Manchester / Stockport. I can't remember my times and am trying to gauge just how badly I have deteriorated.

I have looked on a couple of websites that do go back that far but these races dont feature.

The races were The Heatons and one called the Wilmslow or Wilmslow school 10K.

Anyway - you never know there might be some real enthusiast out there who collects all time sheets and results listings who also ran these races.

Here's hoping. If I get no joy... it's probably best not to know

The chip times should be very accurate. Each chip is unique and sends a signal to the gantry as you pass under it.

I thought it was strange that they were scanning your chip at the end though as this could lead to erroneous times depending on what you did between the finish line and the scan. Perhaps the scan was just to check if the chip was active or maybe to deactivate it. I'm sure someone can clear all of this up.

What did we do in t'old days?

I thought it was a dramatic and beautiful place - a mix of stunning, modern and old, urban architecture. Indeed I felt proud of my city and my stadium as I struggled round. I did check for any glimmer of humility - no - none, just pride.
I still miss Maine Rd.
