XC, PECO XC at Esholt, Lasagne and Lifts
I’ve successfully transferred you to my new
distribution lists!
Track Training at Carnegie – Tuesday 23 February
Is ON (subject to it not being icy). I’ll get
there early and check the conditions! We are booked in from 7p.m. so
please arrive between 6:50 and 6:55 to allow time for queuing (earlier if you
need to get changed too). Maps at http://valleystriders.org.uk/striders.htm#Training
Whilst on the subject of Carnegie, I still only have
12 comments about Ali Rose’s session. Please send me a comment, however
brief, before next Wednesday.
National XC – Saturday 27 February
Just a week away now. We have 50 Striders running.
We are also marshalling a short section of the route
on Soldiers’ Fields. If you are not running but are coming to watch and
are able to help for just one hour, please let me know.
Lasagne – Tuesday 2 March
Bookings are now open for lasagne after training at
Leos on Tuesday 2 March. Email [email protected]
stating whether you want meat lasagne or vegetarian lasagne, and whether you
want apple pie. Bookings will close 10pm on Sunday 28 February
Peco XC – Sunday 7 March
The final race is at Esholt. It has been
moved from Thackley.
Details at http://www.abbeyrunners.co.uk/PECO/race5.html
No post-race food will be provided, so the Senior entry fee will be £2.00
instead of £2.50.
Striders teams are neither destined for honours nor
for relegation but several individuals have the opportunity for a top 3 place
in their age group. Indeed, Gwil Thomas is already certain to be overall
series winner, so will just be running 2 laps of honour that day. I
mentioned other names a couple of weeks ago, but missed out Bob Wilkes, who is
currently in second place in the M65 category, behind Malcolm Coles.

Any other Striders wanting to offer lifts or needing a
lift to a race are welcome to email me and I’ll put it in the next V S
Update. Suggest you email me 3 to 4 weeks before the race, because, as
you know, there isn’t a V S Update every week (but sometimes there are 2 in a
day!!)
