Oscar's Everyone Day

23rd June 2024
In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".

Sadly we lost Oscar in March, so I'd like to dedicate Everyone Day to him. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.

Firestarter Cold start - soon warmed up though, Undulating course with a run through a thigh deep brook after about 2 miles - nice!!?! - Muddy throughout had to stop to re-fit my shoe twice. Last hill climb before the finish like a Paddy field shin deep in mud every time you planted your foot. Pleased enough with time though. Hermitage Harriers RC 37:15 40:43 45:18 60.25
Fat Man Runs First '6' miler in a while and for saying it was country I felt pretty strong.

Was feeling pretty good at three miles and had overtaken a fair few runners, largely, I think because I'm relatively strong goging up hill. I managed to put some space between me and the four or five I had overtaken only to go arse over tit in the stream.

When I resurfaced I was wet and cold from head to toe and my Garmin had fallen to bits and my shoes had come undone, by the time I had sorted everything out those pesky runners had passed me again!

Spent the last two miles catching them up and then passing another couple on the final climb. I think if I hadn't had the 'stream' problems I would have been another two minutes quicker.

Overall really pleased. Unaffiliated 45:50 55:55 45.69
