Ilkley Fell Race Versus Snake Lane 10!

Hello all

Is this a day to go down in club history? More people at a fell race than a road race? I think so! 16 Nidders (as we were described earier) turned out to brave the mud on the moors, and as I understand from Phil, there were lots of smiles coming in to the finish (well, that bit was down hill) and some excellent times. Well done to first timer fell queen Helen with her first fell running injuries!

However I must not be biased as there was a great turn out at Snake Lane and some amazing times there too. I think the interval training is paying off guys! Well done to absolutely everyone who raced this weekend, and don't forget to let us know your times so that you can be famous.

Talking of famous, did everyone notice that we are on the front page of the Advertiser this week? You have to squint hard at that picture but the one in the sports section is bigger! If anyone has any more pictures of Awards Night that would be suitable for publishing on the club web site please feel free to email them to me and I will forward to Mark the web master (who didn't win the prize for the biggest gloves on the racing circuit today Phil!). If you have a look at the web site you will notice that the 2011 club championship races are published there, both road and fell, so get your entries in quickly to avoid disappointment.

This week it's intervals as usual on Tuesday at Slingsby Walk again for mile repeats this time. Meet at the club to leave promptly at 7 or meet us at Slingsby for about ten past.

There will be a Sunday run this week hosted by me. Let's meet at Pannal Train station car park and do about 8 miles mainly off road from there. 9.30 start. 

Well I think that's all for now folks, so happy running and see you on Tuesday.

Emma
