Ashby

Sunday 26^th Feb

Extract from the Ivanhoe Runners race report on Sunday’s Ashby 5m road race

“Bob White ran his first five mile race for a very long time and was surprised with 37.06 for 222nd place, just beating Rosie Dear 27th lady in 37.12.”

The truth is out – Bob White has been secretly training and emerged as a race bandit.

Just Beating Rosie Dear – there’s surely a folk song there, it has to become the new bon mot for the accomplished bantarian.

I was surprised on Sunday morning to get a call from Bob & be summoned out on the road bike for a ‘steady 20 miles’ to enable Bob to complete his duathlon, which had a rather long transition (including the hour long drive back from Ashby). After 20 miles hanging on for dear life I was allowed home and managed a steady 30 in total, the remaining 10 being very steady indeed. It was a fine sunny afternoon with little wind so a delight to get out on the bike.

Bob & Mark enjoying a capital day out enlivened by erudite banter. A 12 mile circuit from Hassop Station was completed followed by a splendid repast at the Station Cafe.

Caythorpe

Caythorpe Dash

The Bounders fielded a team of 4 lusty men for the Caythorpe Dash on Sunday 19^th Feb. The event was unfortunately meant to be for mixed teams and none of us were prepared to go in drag. As ever for Caythorpe events it was a glorious day, cold clear and sunny, with the usual fine feed afterwards. Excellent performances from all particularly Mr Shaw, 5^th place in a superb time for 13.5 miles – a little more than the alleged ‘half marathon’ distance and virtually all off road.
