The Great GR20 Bed Race

Image
By
Ben and Gary are in hot and sunny Bastia, Corse after the great GR20 Bed Race. This is an ultra endurance event comprising sleep deprivation, nasal challenges and long hours marching over incredibly rough terrain.

The rules of the race are that the first one to the refuge for the next day gets the best bed and the last gets no bed. Runners regularly start the event at 5am. You will be gald to hear that we succeeded in sleeping soundly every night.

See you on Saturday for a run around Wolly Park. 10am.

Training Tuesdays

By
Last night due to heavy traffic congestion I was late arriving at the Tennis Centre so apologies to anyone who gave up waiting. Also due to injury of key members the Bramcote run was cancelled at short notice so again apologies to anyone put out by the no shows. Going forward I am suspending the Tennis Centre sessions until January when hopefully the traffic may have eased slightly. The Bramcote group is also suspended until there is a compliment of regulars again. It will be announced on this blog.
