I'm writing this on Christmas Eve one more thing to do today before the Christmas feastivities (sic!). SIX months TO THE DAY before the Parish Walk so it seemed the right thing to do...submit The Entry! The Si technology is so clever it's very easy to part with the £30 entry fee these days -compared to not so many years ago. Time for all the other Parish Walk aspirants now to follow suit. Say it quickly and six months doesn't seem far enough away!
Wind down mode feels good and lasts until New Year's Day when, mind and body willing, it's the Slieu Whallian fell run. Apparently it's a fun event but that's not my honest recollection of the only time I woke up to try it soaked immediately and icicles on the legs once we got onto the exposed higer ground. Still these things are there to experience and it beats a New Year's Day dip by some margin. The mad fools that do both!
On reflection, Ronaldsway wasn't so windy or cold so the 10k turned out much nicer than expected and it was fewer laps than I was told so that was a bonus too, just right for a brisk effort. Fastest time for 10k yet so no sooner started than 65 minutes later back in the club house for the raffle! A true Christmas spirit surrounded the event! Well done and thanks to all those who took part and to all the volunteer marshalls on a chilly bright Manx morning - much appreciated.
New years resolutions are next on the agenda, somehow the PW has got to feature prominently and I have to figure out what is achievable now my favourite event the Easter MMM has been put back to later in the year sadly no good for event based training next year.
Merry Christmas everyone!
