It was great to meet everyone; and also fun to get back on the track again after a few decades. At least it was fun until the back straight of the final lap. The final three hundred metres was a bit less fun, but it felt good to see that finishing line. Last time I raced a mile it was a water-logged grass track so Moorways was great. So thanks every one. I look forward to meeting up again on a slightly warmer day. OS, I hope your little one is OK.

Sorry not to meet OS - hope the little one's on the mend. Well done Firestarter - glad I've managed to prod the embers back into flame

Enjoyed it apart from the ten minutes after I had finished when I was convinced I was about to die - and wouldn't have minded if I had! Nice to meet you all - Firestarter, Ally2, Boycie, Thornton Runner, DawnieBob, Raging Bull, Racing Snail; although I swear I've seen you all somewhere before...

My pulse is now finally below 100 and my lungs have rentered my body. It was nice to see so many people finish in front of myself, my OH and children Thanks to all you Hermits for making it a special occasion, and i will see you all at the Long Eaton 5 next June (earliest plug i've managed for it so far) if not sooner.

Firestarter Dec 2007 5:07pm, 16 Dec 2007 23 posts	Quote Pin Firestarter T'was good to meet you too Yuelity, and all the others, I think it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed the event. June 5 will be placed on the club calendar. And since we're plugging races, if you fancy a good, if slightly hilly 10K, then keep Sept 14th Open next year for our open race(provided that doesn't clash with anything major). We had quite a number of Fetchies there when we held it for the first time this year, and hope to see some more in 2008.........How's that for an early plug..:-)
