Trimpell 20

Sunday 26/03/06

Trimpell 20 mile road race - (or 32.19km) - with a grand total of 380ft in ascent.
53rd place - 2hrs 19mins 22secs.

Comeback race after some months off and the first in new club colours.
Thought that this would be the easiest! way to force myself to do a long run before London.
I write 32.19km, cos the marathon is 42.19km and a bit.
That would give me 40mins 38secs to do the last 10km.
Given that that was my only long road run so far, I don't think that aiming for 3hrs is on.
But I probably will do anyway and suffer at the end, the embankment wouldn't be the same any other way.

Winter Hill

Thursday 09/03/05

Views of the Winter Hill tower above Rivington in Cumcashire (the metropolis formed by our impending merger).
I lived with a view of this beast for the best part of twenty years but have never visited it.
Now I have.
So there's no need to go again.
It's muddy and infested with the detritus of the local yoof.
The tower is the best bit.
Hence the pictures.
