Oops I nearly forgot to write up a super race that i did!
Debbie and I took part in the 6hour endurance race lovelifeloverunning festival. In a team of between 1 and 8 people you have 6 hours to complete as many laps as you can off an off road trail.
Debs and I agreed to do this one together and we were fairly confident we could do quite well.
The event was very well organised witha drinks station half way around the 7 k course in the woods with a DJ to play you music to keep you going.
Debs wanted to go first so she did the first lap and then we swapped on each lap - we were so so similar in our times that there was usually a 3 or 4 second difference which was good as it meant that we had a pretty good idea when we would have to swap over.
The worst part was of course that we couldn't speak to each other so we had a notepad in the van to write messages.
"I feel Sick"
"Have some Choc Brownie"
"Have a Grape"
"Feed the dog"
You get the idea?
The people doing the event were great and as always in this sort of event people are willing to chat with you. Debs and I knew that we could win the women's pair but we also wanyed to get a good position overall.
We finished First Paired ladies team and then out of all teh other teams inclulding those of up to 8 people we still came Third!
Steph Twell was handing out the prizes and I love the fact that I now have a photo of Me in poistion number 1 on the podium and Steph Twell as 2nd! Nobody has to know that she wasn't actually running in the race!
