Training Run Times

[Carmona]

In Valencia meself spectating the Half this morning. Special seeing the elites and the speed they go. 57.30 for Kejelka and 1.03.03 for women's winner.

I have a few of those AllReal bars actually, might try those. Thanks

Yeah.Give them a lash. Them and a load of fruit and it's not a bad start to recovery.

Not too shabby for an ol' doll's debut!!

Did Smurf drop out after doing the Half? That's what all the cool lads do.... (By which I mean it's what I did in my last 'marathon')

Do you mind my asking her age, Honky? And background. Had she done a few Halfs, had she done a serious training block?

I think I might be in trouble with the Valencia marathon crowd. I gave my bib to an Italian young wan for yesterday's Half and she tells me she was approached soon after the finish and had her bib removed. Bloke said it wasn't hers. Well, he got that right. I'm expecting an email telling me I'm banned from future races...... Given the state of my hip right now that might not mean much! Did a little jog this morning. Sore again now. MRI the 11th of November.

Unless she won the thing that seems slightly excessive. Good luck with the MRI.

It's a major deal with race organisers Marky:

1. They've refused people entry into the event based on capacity, and now there's others coming in the back door
2. If an athlete collapses out on the course (and this happens at least once in pretty much every big race), the medical support team will have all the wrong info from the number
3. If you give the pass to a faster athlete (or from a woman to a man), it can totally screw up the AG and the team prizes
4. The entry is "Carmona, Race number 1234" but it's not Carmona racing at all - so the results will be attributed to the wrong person - like getting someone else to sit your leaving cert. People have used this trick to get a BQ in the past and there was uproar.

Even in local races, it's a big no-no, and like the example C. gives there, they really go after you. One of our running circle took an unofficial number swap at the Ballycotton 10 a few years ago - he was banned from the event for a year, and was only let back into local racing after a grovelling apology.

Fingers crossed for ya lad - hopefully they find something definite that they can treat
