Lois's new toy.

Lois has finally given in to all my nagging and has gone with the "if you can't beat them, join them" philosophy. She now has a new bike to train on over the winter and has already entered the Cycletta at Woburn for next June.

(I'll keep working on her for triathlons)

Here's a pic of the new addition to our garage (or should that be bike store). Yet another Trek, I've been outnumbered. Maybe we should be called Flitwick Trek.

Parkrun MK 29.09.12

Well winter is approaching but you wouldn't have known in from the weather in Milton Keynes on another sunny Saturday morning.

Yet another PB for Fiona and Pete managed his 49th parkrun so one to go until the coveted 50 runs T Shirt is his.

Times were:

Pete Jones     23.44
Fiona Jones     29.17
Les Potts     45.25 (as tail runner)

Well done all.

Bourn To Run 10K - 23.09.12

Hi Folks

Just thought I’d tell you about the 10K Les Potts and I did today.

 

Bourn is a lovely village just outside Cambridge. It hosts an event called Bourn to Run which includes a 10k multi terrain race and a 3k race for youngsters. Multi terrain was the correct phrase as we were only on the roads for a max of 2k. Thankfully the rain held off and with a cool morning we set off at a good pace.

Out of 421 competitors Les managed a 10k PB, in 227th place at 56min 7sec and I managed 131st place in 51 min26 sec (30 sec off my PB).

We were both very pleased given the terrain, me in particular since I had set my PB on the Silverstone circuit.

A fun well organised event, well worth the trip.

The Ox Sportive - 02.09.12

First time this event has run but hopefully not the last. Well organised, good venue and a nice route. There were events over approx 40 miles and 70 miles, I went for the longer option.

One of the guys I went with and a young lad we met on the day got a good chain gang going early on and managed to keep a good speed up throughout the 71.50 mile undulating route. I ended up with an average speed of 16.8mph which was much better than expected, especially given the distance.
