Pickering Running Club

Hi all,

Yes it is 2013!

The gallant Terriers from PRCplus have received emails about the Yorkshire Terrier next year.

I was hoping to report about this year's race to members at the progress meeting last Thursday but was unable to make it. We managed to get together a team of 10 despite the pressures from a run leaders' course, skiing in snowless Scotland and fell races. The event was well planned and we all had a good laugh, some of us will never forget the antics of some at the end, the band, the bar, the beer and the free camping! They do a good Tshirt too!

Hi All,

I had hoped to see everyone on Thursday but was not able to because of family commitments.

I should have done this before now but I am letting you all know about how I did.

I finished in 5 Hrs 11 Mins 5 secs. It was a PB but only a small margin of improvemen,t 4 and a half minutes off.

To tell the truth I was a tad disappointed with my time as I was on course for a 4.45 ish time for a long time.

I suffered from cramping quads from mile 20 to 25. My preearation was impeded in the last few weeks. (that's a rather lame excuse)

I have uploaded some photos of the race. I tried to get one of everybody but some of you were hard to get, some were a bit easier. Dean

Thanks to everyone for putting up with a couple of slow coaches, especially as my bike was so painfully noisy.

Extra thanks go to Peter, Hazel and Jennifer for the superb hospitality. Oh and Claire's Bakewell too.

A wonderful morning!!

Hi all,

I blame the teachers but apparently I am now one of the majority of the adult population who cannot do maths.  I can't count up to 9 accurately. My english isn't much good either.

I need one more gullible and willing contestant for the PRC team for the Yorkshire Terrier on March 10th. It starts at 5.30 in the evening and should be a lot of fun. Anybody interested or know of anyone who might be interested?

Please get in touch.

I've just noticed that Dave Ward has registered his participation in this event. I had a look at the website and wondered if any  more PRC members may be interested with a view to a team entry. Save £5 or £10 per person (sorry Dave if you've already entered)!!

It sounds as if it could be a good fun event!

Hi all,

I noticed some folk are interested in more navigation exercises. Eborienteers are holding a sprint event at Filey on Sunday 22nd Jan. There will also be an event at Collis Rigg near Helmsley on 29th Jan ( this looks more interesting to me).

If anyone is interested look at the Eborienteers website http://eborienteers.org.uk/future-fixtures/

I'll be at the club run at Malton tomorrow if anyone has questions I can answer.

Dean

Well done Peter and thank you very much for organising the course today. It was an excellent morning and we really enjoyed it. Nicola was particularly impressed with your visual aid of the terrain.

We had a lot of fun, it was a fantastic morning, the sun, frost and company made it a great time.

Cheers, Dean and Nicola

PS we are sorry we couldn't join in the soup bash. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Hi All,

Here are the results, apologies if anybody thinks we've been too harsh or too generous.

Dean

Hi all,

Thank you all very much for hanging around to cheer me over the line, again!

It was great to see so many green and blue vests on the start line as well.

Thanks especially to Steve for running back to nurse me home. I managed a PB, for me, over the course, (it was the first time I've done it.) Well done also to Kate for completing her first 10K race in a respectable sub 60 time.
