Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Boo did do it!!!

That was the funniest and most chilled event I have ever attended! I had loads of fun. I came 2nd in the 100m - wasn't pleased with my slow time of 17secs - but not knowing how to start and not having someone on the other side of me really didn't help. I REALLY didn't push it - so that is a good sign that i have got a lot more sprint in me! I LOVED doing the 100ms...

Came VERY last in the 3000m - I will explain more in my blog - but it was hiliarious! (I came last in style!)

And i had a go at the javalin - just to get the points for my club - and threw only 5m. That had to be the MOST chilled event. All the competitors were helping each other and not competing seriously at all!!

I am definitely signing up for the next events!!

Well done Boo, sounds like great fun, there must have been some fast boys in the 3000m. :-)
I want to do a track meeting soon, just have to find one. I would like to have a go at long jump, 800m and 1500m.

I did 5 miles easy of the track on Tuesday on my own and it was SOOOO boring!

Hey Blister - if you are in Tooting Bec on the 6th June, then come along to the next Rosenheim league meeting. I had loads of fun!

Oh and yes the men were VERY fast. And they were real grunters too - hope I don't become a grunter when I get that fast! haha :-p

Tooting Bec is perhaps a bit far from Bristol :-)

Besides, it doesn't look like there's much there let alone a track, from this recent photo:
ideal-homes.org.uk ;-)

I don't really grunt, just exaggerate my breathing when I'm really working hard. :-)

Oh lord - are you in Bristol?? Sorry Blister - I think because I saw you after FLM, I presumed you were a Londoner (I have no brain!)

Oh and grrr to that picture. I am sure there will be a decent track built by the time I get there in June!! :-p

LOL I went up to London that weekend just to watch FLM (I spent about £150 on train tickets, hotels etc!).

Mind you I travel about 130 miles to Farnham to see a coach about once a month (then back again makes more like 260 miles!).

I hope you run those 260miles Blister...just you think of the environment. Oh and the sense of achievement when you've done it! ;-)
