Good luck one and all for tomorrows race. Gutted not to be there, still trying to fight chest infection off..7 days of no running...

Best of luck to all runners tomorrow wish I was running I'll be there cheering you on.

Sorry Nicky to hear your not to well. Now is the time to indulge in your other hobby!!

Congrats Nicky on just making your 100th post watch out Charlie she's after you!

Well done to the brave souls who ventured out today - one individual who shall remain nameless wimped out at the last moment...must have been on strike again Thankfully the weather cleared up for the race apart from some Kansas like mini whirlwinds on some parts of the course. Well done to all including Ruth and particularly Sue in her first 10 miler, who learnt all about hill running today

Thanks to Phil and Gill for support

Alasdair

So how did you all get on then ?

I did fifteen miles!!

You ran 5 miles too far then mate!!!

It was four seasons in one day, as a hurricane blew through staffordshire for this one...

I hope Nicky's cold and Mike hamstring probs are soon a distant memory.

Results are here http://www.stonemm.co.uk/15901.html

Sun, Cloud, Rain, Hurricanes, we had it all today! 191 hardy souls (& Mike H) started today.
James was on such a mission he even let Ivor do his own race. I chased him from mile 4 to 8 , sneaking the coveted 1st harrier home by just 13 secs.
Mike H saw the floods at 4 miles and jogged back to the car muttering something about a 'hamstring'

The roughish http://freespace.virgin.net/j.haine/FF2009.xlsresults from what i can remember

Pat - 65.03
James -1st M35 - 65.16

Andy M - PB - 69.28
Ruth - 1st F35 - PB - 73.05
Mike C - 78.31
Martin - 82.38
Sue - PB & Alasdair - 85.53

(P.S. Get well soon Mike)

Must be something in the water Mike. Well done everyone it was tough out there today.

Well done all who raced today. I've been along the coast to Holyhead this morning and the weather was atrocious with the wind really whipping up the waves, I can imagine how tough is was for you all. Sorry to hear about Mike's hammy. I couldn't see Darren Perry inthe results so by my reckoning Mike should secure second place overall in the North Staffs League today as I don't think Mark Flint scored enough points today to catch him. . Congratulations to everyone who raced in the North Staffs again this year. We are the champions - AGAIN!

(Get well soon Nicki).

Well done everyone, some tough souls out there, cross country will seem easy after that.

Hope everyone having relaxing night after today!
I found it really hard work and looking forward to 5k x country
next week
Hope Sue sore throat ok, she said it was kill or cure, so hope it was cure - she is a tough cookie!
Congrats to you all for being NSRRA champs

Well done all the harriers that race today in not the best of weather!

Just got home, thought the hamstring was bad until I watched the football, bad day, more beer. Well raced you harriers.

Are we the CHAMPIONS

Think so. Nearest rivals Newcastle AC were 133 points behind before todays race, a big margin to bridge. Anyone got a couple of hours spare to go through the permutations? Good night.
