Welcome back! Hopefully the website problems
are now behind us and a big thank you to Martin. To catch up
a bit, here is what you have missed. Firstly, well done to Stu
Carrington on being the first club member this season to take
part in an open event. Here is what the great man himself had
to say about it...."In a moment of madness I decided to
give this one a try at the weekend. I had planned not to mention
it to, but it seems that somehow Ian has already found out.
Achieved a remarkably poor 29:55 to come a pitiful 42nd out
of 46 starters. Winner was Aran Stanton with a 21:43 (he then
immediately followed that up in the 2 up event with a 21:52)
However, there were some positives from my performance:
- I beat the only two starters with slower PB's than my own
- I discovered that my max heart rate is a little higher than
I had previously thought; although it must be said that the
early stages of a race is probably not the best place to discover
101%
- And, best of all, no matter how long I live, nobody will ever
be able to take a worse photo of me than the one produced by
the official race photographer.
oh yes, and to top it all off perfectly, when i got back to
my car I couldn't bend my elbows - this made it rather tricky
to get my keys and I had to waylay this poor local woman and
ask her to rummage around in the sweaty back pocket of my ill
fitting lycra top - from the look on her face I am not convinced
that I really made her day with that request" Well Done
Stu.TOP
Last sunday,28th Feb, was the first inter-club
