I know that just as we get elation,so to do we get upset, not in the sense of race placings but in how we reflect on our own personal performances on the day. So even if today did not quite happen for you, always remember this, it was something that Tony said to me this week ......

Hills make you stronger even if it is not your taste totally!
The SS is our own internal championship but its also a tough training session. So just reflect on another tough training session in the bag that will make you stronger for the next race. Onwards and upwards for each of you !!

See you Tuesday,
Nick.

For those that aren't aware, not only did Damian win today (we are all used to that!) but he knocked 42 seconds of the course record! From my vantage point he seemed to be gliding effortlessly up the hills whilst I was huffin' and puffin' and barely managing to get much above walking pace!

What makes his time even more impressive is that because the grass in the fields was so long, (well over my knees, so up to most peoples waists!) the course was slower than usual.

I used the 2010 results spreadsheet to type the 2011 results (it saves me time because the spreadsheet auto-populates) It was easy for me to see how peoples times compared with last year. With very few exceptions nearly everyone that did both races was slower this year.

By the time some of the later runners ran across the fields there were great elephant tracks through the grass, but for the early runners there was virtually no discernible track.

From where I was sat, close to the top of the second hill, I could see a single runner exit the trees at the top of the first. It was close to minute before I concluded this wasn't some random dude enjoying the hills, as then others appeared out of the woods, seemingly in pursuit.

Eventually, I could see the blue and gold as he crossed the road, and up ran Damian on his way to the second summit. Difficult to know what to say to a lone runner as he runs past a lone spectator...anything breaking an awkward silence of the moment. Either way, he blanked me, so I sat down again and waited for the others, using the time wisely to re-evaluate my supporting strategy.

I've done Bollington twice before, and met my daemons here. It was interesting to note exactly how far down the pecking order of our elite club athletes that people decide walking up that second hill is acceptable. I say acceptable, I've only ever been able to walk, running never really an option. I'm pleased to report that quite a few were walking, Tony showing a casual sense of indifference as he stopped for a chat, and to chastise me for not running. Fair point! Bollington...damned if you do, damned if you don't :-)

Records continue to be broken!
Now 90 members have run in the SS, already more than last year: Some of our membership are country members(Mike and Sally, Clare S, George L, Ian S etc), so its fair to say that approaching 90% of the membership have entered the fray!
No wonder its so much fun, with all of the group battles, the hugs and commiserations after and of course the benefits to our own training ahead of the next challenge.
Nice work!!
Nick.
