Calderdale Relay. Above all, thanks to Team Captains for sorting it all out, and everyone involved in running… results and splits
Senior Men – 2nd, In trouble having to cope with Salford’s superb Leg4. Salford’s Leg 5 was also strong, so probably leaving too much for Matt and Rob on the final Leg. Coming 2nd to Salford is no mean thing.
Vets –1st, (a clean sweep of Relays) must have been very close throughout, with the usual strength of Clayton. A slight gap at Wainstalls in 2nd place, similarly at Shelf, but Steve Bell and Graham Moffatt delivered the goods on that last leg. 12seconds ahead at the finish., so a bit close.
Ladies – 3rd Ladies (45th overall)
“B” Team – 52nd overall.
Rivock Edge 1st V45 Presentation – contrary to expectations, this was held at Mytholmroyd. As Gavin wasn’t there, Carshare takes First Prize of a tin of chocolates, never to be seen again?
Individual Coasters:- were given out at the start. For the “B” Team, Greg has those for Legs 3, 4, 5, 6.
Vets Coasters – chasing up, they may well be with John Hunt….
Complaints Committee:- so I was wobbling up the last hill, told Willy that I had a packet of Jaffa Cakes waiting in the car, and we shifted for home. BUT – who is the culprit(s) responsible for stuffing themselves on those Jaffa Cakes? It seems that the Leg 4 runners need to own up, and you can quite happily name and shame the individual who made the executive decision to eat them – all.
Martin Stocks – can he be trusted? – denies all responsibility. “I agree. This was a shameless and selfish act. The perpetrators of which
should hang their heads in shame. I for one would not condone such wanton greed and lack of consideration. All that I will say is that you need look no further than the ‘A’ team for the culprit who made an executive decision on behalf of us all. And his initials were not ET…………
PS: I actually prefer chocolate digestives for next time please………..”
All is revealed by Jon Morgan:- “My humblest apologies for my heinous act of greed and utmost selfishness. As you can imagine none of the other 3 helped me eat the Jaffa cakes eat all, and I insisted on eating all 8, despite their extensive efforts to stop me. Indeed such was the kerfuffle that fisticuffs developed and we all have black eyes to show for it. I trust you have noticed the extensive collision damage that resulted to most of the panels of your car. So at the end of the day the guilty parties can clearly be named as Es, Martin and Ian. I have severely reprimanded them all, and asked Gavin to expel them from the club forthwith. I trust this token act can in some way compensate you for the unimaginable trauma incurred”
Lost Property:- is Gavin’s. Will anyone from Sheffield be at The Stoop this Sunday to pass them along? (the Crashout is far, far better, though.)
January 2010 Races . These are on the FRA Calendar. , whilst we await our individual Calendars. Some might be worth the entry if it’s a regular – Tigger Tor, Kinder Trial, etc….
Not on the FRA Calendar is “That’s Lyth” , 31st January, a LDWA event from Kendal. Very much like the Grindleford Gallop. I did it last year, on Mike’s recommendation, and enjoyed it. 8am start, though. It will fill up….
Wadsworth Tog 2010. Entry Form is 6th February. We all know it’s hard, but a good Long race to get in the legs….200 limit for full and half trog, so us regulars could do well to put the entry in…..
