Thanks for the info Mike, least that gives me a few extra weeks to get some speedwork in 
|

| JBD |
Hey Pammie, looks like I can make this one, be sure to say hello on the day
|
||
| Pammie |
Certainly | ||

Blimey ..you got home quick steve ... stretching at 8.30, posting at 8.36 
Great run last night .. really enjoyed that *pats on back all round* ps ... just noticed forum clock is an hour out!!! ... is it just me? pps ... just found the GMT+1 thingy ..... I'll get my coat! |
||
| JBD |
Yup, was good to run with you Mike, good session that and I really want to work hard on speed for the next couple of months....however i do generally drive home at 30mph, acknowledge the wife, and have a leisurely bath before catching a bit of tv and/or going online 
|

| JBD |
Have numbers been given out for this....?
Put my name down but forget to check with Lee yesterday. |
||
| Pammie |
Hi i'll be there, bleary eyed.
Working till 2 on the sunday so hopefully will get a few hours shut eye. |
||
| Stevie |
Lee has the numbers, he gave me mine last week. | ||
| Lee O |
All numbers have been collected.. | ||
| JBD |
Who collected mine then ???
Well, never mind, there is an 'on the day' option I think.....might test the motivation a bit, plus got 6 sets of tennis in the afternoon....might be testing goodwill of wife and little lad too.... I don't know....it's like a major feat of logistics to turn up at a start line for me.....grumble moan any excuse etc.... |
||
| mikemoreton |
Yeah, Who collected mine. Or, do I pick it up on the day from someone. Dont tell me this is another Felstead, where no one entered my name. | ||
| Lee O |
Only 4 runners entered via club,
Mike Grout George Watts Nick Rankin Steve Dear No good putting name on list and Not Filling in A Form to give to Vic and then me to enter in my Grey Book |
||
| mikemoreton |
Are there entries on the day? | ||
| Lee O |
Sure are Mike | ||
| JBD |
Ah, well then, you see I thought that putting your name on the list was part of a bulk entry thing that the club did....the Essex PB5 list has got at least 10 names on it so there are a few of us who never got round to doing the form..... Ok, I know for the future, cheers. |

Hi JBD
The lists on the wall give the race details, and give members a chance to register their intention to race By collection an entry form from Lee ... Filling it in and most importantly ... PAYING Vic Your entry will be passed back to Lee for a bulk entry ( Which Lee pays for - Claiming the money back from the club ) This way we only enter members for races who have already paid in advance. Otherwise it gets incredibly messy !!! |
||
| JBD |
That's fine, makes perfect sense, sure if I'd been down there in the last 3 weeks I would have seen Lee and sorted it...
You missed a corker last night Mikey.....jumping over puddles (until there was no grass to land on, at which point I was knee deep in one), slip sliding up an impossible path, falling into the crops, thank goodness for the semi-reasonable creek route back....on the plus side I couldn't hear my wheezing above the squelching of my shoes....wot a laugh, cheers for the encouragement Ernie

Well done to all those who ran today. Well done to Louise (I think thats her name. I'm not good on names) on getting gold for Benfleet Ladies.
I think most got pb's, including me!!! |
||
| debbie g |
Well done Mike and all those with PB's I heard Steve Dear had a blinder and Sharon too. Congratulations
I think you might mean Catherine Mike she did 32:40 and got the vets prize. 
Good day for Benfleet. |
||
| mikemoreton |
Thanks for that Debbie, as I said, I am no good with names | ||
| gmike |
Well done Team Benfleet ... another cracking run by all.
Bagged myself a pb today ... v chuffed with that ... 33:51 ... a minute and a half off Nicolas 5
Loved the waft of burgers from Bas Vegas at mile 4 ... who needs Go-gels! |
||
| Pammie |
Well done Benfleet
gmike - Must have missed that, at 4 miles, though my legs were like jelly at that point pb for me too previous one was 41:25 at the same venue 4 years ago so around 40 seconds improvement |
||
| pete the young one |
well done guys, whole host of Pb's i think today, Kieran got under 30 mins for the first time, Steve, both Mikes, Pam, me, Catherine and Andy all with Pbs as well. good run from Sharon and everyone else too. | ||
| Stevie |
Yep well done Team Benfleet
Pete had a great run by smashing his PB - well done mate. I've e-mailed Karl with the pics that my dad took so hopefully they will be up on the site soon, he tried to get everybody that was in club gear.

Useless Mr No Show here....always envious when I see the post race reports...ah well...always the next one.
Good work Benfleet, absolutely excellent time Gmike to be taking over a minute off your PB on such a short race is impressive.
And you Pammie....sorry we didn't get to meet. |
||
| Karl C |
well done everyone, I have posted all the name benfleet runners in the results section with the link to all the results...
again, let me know if there are any errors. |
||
| Andy F |
There are a few Benfleet runners in the picture on the back page of todays echo.
Well done all that ran, it's not the best off courses for scenery. But it is certainly a fast course. My first P.B of the year, so im happy with that. Andy |
