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 bom

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....

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 · Joined: 30 Aug 2006 Posts: 318 Location: Canvey Island

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

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 · Joined: 15 Sep 2007 Posts: 203

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 bounce

Pammie · Joined: 30 Jun 2006 Posts: 296

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

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.

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.
