PARBOLD HILL RACE 2009

MUD, MUD, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!
Well nothing quite like it for slowing you down and make it it really really hard to run up hill anyway!

It was as hard a conditions as I've ever done this race in, it was like running through, well, mud and it was very hard going.

A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to ALL you lovely PINK PANTHERS for having a go at this notoriously difficult race.

I'm very proud of all of you
The following took part in this race for the first time, so a big congratulations to;-
Liz Peacock, Leanne Stockton-Standley, Julie McCombe (who's only been a pink panther for about 2 weeks!), Keely Tabener, Laura Bolton, Nicola Johnson (who has a possible stress fracture so found it very difficult - but still had a go), Helen Tuzio, Depeeka Hemmady and Lesley Colpitts

You were all amazing and looked great.
There are quite a few phots of this race so if you want to spot yourself try the following links;-

AMAZING ACHIEVMENTS

• We had 15 runners from our little club, that meant we had a total of 5 female teams competing, more than any other club by far.

• We WON the female team category outright with stiff competition from Penny Lane Striders (2nd) and Skem Boundary Harriers (3rd).

• We still definately have the best kits!
  

THANKYOU
Also a massive thanks to anyone who helped with the marshalling at the race, I know that our friends at Skem Boundary really appreciate it and it so nice to be cheered on by so many people.

Dates for your Diary

14th Feb -2pm
The one and only PARBOLD HILL RACE

If would be great to see a big PINK PANTHER turn out to this our most local race. But if for any reason you don't feel quite up to taking part (only real excuses like broken leg, having a baby or out of the country will do by the way) then if you could marshall that would be a REALLY REALLY big help to the club who orgaise this race.

Skem Boudary Harriers, have organised this race for over 25 years and they are good friends to our little group of Pink Panthers, and they have helped us out lots of times, including inviting any of us to train with them on Thurs evenings. It would be really nice if we can reciprocate their kindness by helping out with this race. Holding an event like this takes a lot of manpower (especially as there are lots of places were people can go wrong if they dont know the route) - so if you are free on Sat 14th feb at 2-3 pm please could you help with the marshalling at this race.

Sun 11am - 1st March 2009
