| 15/10-00 | 38K | Double Wye Valley (Map) |
4:42 | Only Tim | Tim did a "Double Wye Valley run" today - I was climbing, but I thought this should be noted. Double! If the normal round wasn't hard enough, but doing it it twice - pfeww. Well done Tim. | |
| 6/2-00 | 10K | Molboløbet (Denmark) |
1:12 | Anders | Soft ground. No frost. Lots of branches. |
Danish Orienteering. Great fun. 18 posts. At each post one had to answer a question which is then part of the score. |
| 16/1-00 | 22K | Furesøen Rundt (Denmark) |
2:01 | Lars | Soft ground. No frost. Perfect. |
Excellent run. All systems were running fine. |

| 5/12-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
2:09 | Solo | Cold. Crisp. Perfect. |
Agony. I thought it would never go. If I want to get the sub2 again I need to rethink be current diet of beer and crisps. Still - I was going allright from the field to Tutshill, so I was quite pleased with the time. |
| 01/11-99 31/10-99 |
22.5K + 15K 37.5K |
Karrimor International Moutain Marathon . Scotland. (KIMM  ) |
7.04 + 4.41 11.45 |
The Bros |
Boggy, cold, windy, rainy. |
We came in 68 of 197 teams in the C class. 69 of these retired after the first day - 128 completed. (2.200m of ascent) |
| 10/10-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
2:25 | Solo | Surprisingly warm. Autum is here - ground covered in slippery leaves. |
Tried to use ski poles. Disaster. It screwed up my rythm and I struggled all the way through! Ok, I hadn't really had any thing to eat, so I was quite low on energy, but - my ski pole theory has proven wrong. |
| 29/9-99 | Note: Tim (1.48) and Martin (1:49) broke the 1.50 barrier, making Tim the new record holder of the Wye Valley run and Martin joins the exclusive sub2 club currently having Tim, Myself and Martin as members. Well done chaps! | |||||

19/9-99 |
32K | Brecon Beacons |
3.35 | Tim, Martin |
Superb | Half of it was fun. Half of it was a running mare. Absolute savagery. Constant horizontal rain all the way through. |
| 16/9-99 | 10K | Semi Wye Valley |
n/a | Tim, Martin |
Dark. Good training. |
We went for an after work run. It was getting dark as we started so the last bit of the run was done walking. |
| 3/7-98 4/7-98 |
Note: Fred did the Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon together with Sean - they came in 33rd which was an amazingly good effort. 35K | |||||
| 26/6-99 | 18K | Cotswold Race |
1.33 | Team 39 |
Sunny. | Complete torture. No problems in legs but the lungs and overall stamina was suffering seriously from the extreme heat. I came in 15th. It was not pleasant. Ridiculously hot (25+ degrees). Worst conditions I have ever run in. |
| 16/6-99 | 18K | Cotswold Leg 5 (recce) |
1.52 (1.29) |
Tim, Alan |
Sunny. Nice. |
Calves killing me, otherwise the run was great. We were chased by a flock of cows at some stage. |
| 13/6-99 | 16K | Cotswold Leg 3 (recce) |
2.24 | Linsey | Near perfect. |
Got lost once. Picked up the track again after some skillful map reading. |
| 11/6-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
1.50.47 | Solo | Ideal. Dry weather and soft/muddy ground. |
Up until the top of Wyndcliffe my left calf was in absolute agony, but then it started loosening up after that. Boy was I glad when I ran across the bridge in Chepstow. New record for The Run which I am sure will not stand long. |
| 6/6-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
2.59 | Linsey | Sunny. Muddy. |
We were supposed to have been 6 people going but the other potential participants seemed to have lost their attitude. Still, Linsey and I went and it was as always a fine Valley experience. |
| 3/6-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
2:05 | Tim | Wet, foggy, dark, muddy, slippery, cold. Perfect! |
The seasons first after work run. It looked like it was going to be a mean run, but after reaching the otter hole car park things seemed to just go really smoothly and no pain in the knees which is great. |
| 28/4-99 | 12K | HP Extended Valley Run |
0.54 | Tim, Alan |
Sunny. Nice. Beautiful. |
I have started running more frequently and on less savage terrain. All systems are working fine. No problems with knees or anything. So I guess I just need to go easy on the actual fell runs. |
| 21/2-99 | 18K | Furesøen Rundt (Denmark) |
1:45 | Lars | Icy tracks. Slippery. Fun! |
Changed to my old more bouncy shoes. I think it helped a bit on my knee, though it still hurt quite a lot. Specially afterwards. Good trip though - but less hilly than I had hoped. Denmark just is flat as a pancake. |
| 14/2-99 | 19K | Wye Valley (Map) |
2:43 | Brid, Peter |
Perfect. | Right knee really painful. Maybe it is my beloved Walsh shoes which are a bit too hardcore after all. |

| 7 months break to recover from the injury below: | ||||||
| 4/7-98 | 35K | The Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon | 5h + 3h | Martin (Team 605) | Great conditions. Misty, wet and not too windy. | Right knee hurting. After five hours I twist my ankle
badly and we decide to retire and manage to arrive at the midway campsite
after an additional 3 hours struggle. Read the full story . |
| 27/6-98 | 16K | Cotswold Race | 1:18 | Team 62 | Ideal conditions. Muddy as hell and sun and showers during the run. | Despite the fact that my shoes are crap it went okay. I came in 19th of 45 participants. Tim, who ran the leg as well came in 10th, three minuttes before me. Excellent fun. Right knee hurting quite a bit otherwise okay. |
| 23/6-98 | 16K | Cotswold Recce | n/a | Tim | Good | Practice Run for the race on Saturday |
| 20/6-98 | 19K | Wye Valley Run (Map) |
2:18 | Tim, Claire | Worst ever: Hot. Humid. Muddy and slippery. | I lead - Tim runs with Claire. Totally exhausted - hardest run yet. No blisters. Picked up Claire in Tintern. |
| n/a | 19K | Wye Valley Run (Map) |
2:05 | Tim, Alan, Russel | Fine | After work run. I left the field after Devils Pulpit and was alone until the last road section near Chepstow. Fine conditions. Big bloody blister on left toe. |

2:18 | Tim, Peter | Muddy. Wet ground. Snow. Good. | Good Run - very wet, otherwise good conditions. Snowed on the higher grounds. Blister |
