Thats cool Michaela. If I can grab a place in your car I'll sign up now. Thanks!

Hi Michaela, I have printed off the form and will get it sent this weekend but at the moment I am not running, osteopath banned me for a week or two cause I think my bulging disc problem has returned. Got real bad sciatic pains down both legs but it is getting easier!!

Re: Hangover 10km

michaela — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:31:33 GMT

I'm already signed up so I'd be happy to give up to 4 people a lift

Re: Hangover 10km

tonymyers — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:44:21 GMT

This sounds good. Perhaps a group of us could enter? That way, I might be able to cadge a lift!

Hangover 10km

michaela7 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:43:46 GMT

Does anyone want to kick off their new year with a 10km Hangover race in Weston? The race is apparently road and flat. Great way to start the new year! Starts New Years Day at 11am.

Re: Sodbury Slog

tommer — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 18:27:53 GMT

you were right with your prediction of last mate, well done! I put the results on the Race Reviews section of all the SRC members I could identify

Re: Sodbury Slog

David Braithwaite — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 08:29:15 GMT

Hope Southville RC aren't too embarressed but I was the back marker - never say last as that is defeatist- and really great fun. Make sure you get your entries in early for next year. For those who undertook the course my Garmin had it at 8.89.

Mike Sully X C team challenge

chris-h — Sun, 8 Nov 2009 20:40:04 GMT

Hi everyone,

have just received this forwarded through from Bristol and West Athletics Club and wondered if anyone would like to put a team together for it?

"As part of the celebration of the 50th running of the Mike Sully X-country

race on Sunday 22nd November, there is a mob match for local clubs. Any

club can enter and the first 10 runners home count for each club. Entries

are free, and runners just turn up on the day. It would be helpful if clubs

fielding a team let the organiser know that they wish to enter a team. The

race distance is 4K, the race time 2.00, and the event is held on the Downs

between Clifton Zoo and Ladies mile.

If clubs are interested and intend to field a team, I will forward their

intention to the race organiser. Chris Elson"

Regards

Chris

I also I have signed up for the mud fest. See you at the start

Re: Sodbury Slog

David Braithwaite — Sat, 7 Nov 2009 08:13:00 GMT

Hi Tommer I am doing it (number 445) Don't expect to see any Southville shirts/vests - can't waste good stuff. Having to work out what I have fit for the bin this year. You will find me running with the chap/girl without a number - commonly called back marker marshal. Enjoy it all.

Sodbury Slog

tommer — Fri, 6 Nov 2009 22:27:01 GMT

Hi all,

who is doing the sodbury slog this Sunday? I have just been given the chance to take someones place. should be muddy!

Local races

tonymyers — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:11:35 GMT

I'm new to Bristol and not yet got the hang of local races. I'm odd in that I prefer road races and really dont enjoy being up to my armpits in mud. But my problem is that I dont drive so if I find some good races and there are Southville members travelling to them, I hope it's OK to try to blag a lift! Are there any lists of races members are taking part in?

Pensford 10K 2010

seejay — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:58:10 GMT

Just thought I would let you know that the entries are now open for the Pensford 10K, its an extrememly challenging 10K with three hills getting steeper each time. Nearly persuaded myself this year but chickened out so have comitted myself now for 2010 25th April. Entries are by post or online line with Runnersworld, who take their little bit, website is www.pensford10K.com. Anyone run it before???

Re: Bristol Duathlon

alecrum — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:26:43 GMT

I've also entered. There's a trg session run by Sole Events on Sun 18th, meeting at 10am at the Mansion House Car Park at the bottom of Ashton Court. The session will last for approximately 2 hours and will be fully coached in two ability groups.

nice one Rob, I'm in!

Tow Path Series 2010

Rob — Sun, 4 Oct 2009 17:09:23 GMT

Just a quick note to say guaranteed entry for the Tow Path Series has opened. Its a long way off but this is very popular run restricted to 300 runners. Its for 4 x10 K races and 1x 5K races along the tow path .

Re: Ashton Court 10K 27/9/09

mattw — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:11:06 GMT

Well, I entered this race along with Scott C in the end (getting to Cirencester involved a ridiculously early start and would have cost as much as the Ashton Court entry fee anyway) and was pleasantly surprised. Was a good atmosphere as you might expect from such an event, and it's always nice running in Ashton Court. Also great to have the last 2k all downhill! Well done to Scott who came 2nd in a field of about a thousand - hopefully the Evening Post, Run 10k and Heart FM Bristol will have some photos of us up on their websites soon to prove we were there!

Re: Badminton Horseless Trials

matt_w — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:13:30 GMT

I've managed to recruit one more for this event and possibly a fourth, so we're only looking for potentially one more to make a team! Any takers??

Re: Ashton Court 10K 27/9/09

matt_w — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:10:10 GMT

There's a 10k in Cirencester that morning which I will hopefully be entering, at a much more reasonable £8/£10 unattached fee! Not that I necessarily want to put people off the Ashton Court one but parting with the best part of 20 quid does seem a bit excessive...

Re: Badminton Horseless Trials

chris-h — Wed, 9 Sep 2009 20:38:41 GMT

Looks like fun Scott, would have been up for it but sadly can't, dam.

Re: New events.

chris-h — Wed, 9 Sep 2009 20:36:50 GMT

Just seen the entry cost so I'm not entering!!! See my reply to Rob's Ashton Court original post.

Re: Ashton Court 10K 27/9/09

chris-h — Wed, 9 Sep 2009 20:35:04 GMT

Eeeeek, just mentioned the Ashton Court 10km race in local evens section and have discovered it's an obscene £19.50 to enter. It's off road so low insurance costs, no money goes to charity as Sam mentioned, where's the money going. I'm not entering it that's for sure.

New events.

chris-h — Wed, 9 Sep 2009 20:30:32 GMT

I've posted a load of new events to enter for the next 4/5 weeks. Most are enter on the day, some you can enter in advance via www.runnersworld.co.uk website. A few are advance only though the Aquathlon in Burnham on Sea you can't do either which is bound to limit their entry list!

Have looked at the Ashton Court 10km and was wondering how many people are entering it? If you are what do people think of meeting at the Southbank Centre and then running up to the course as a warm up?

Re: Ashton Court 10K 27/9/09

Sam J — Wed, 9 Sep 2009 12:55:38 GMT

Is anyone doing the Ashton Court 10k? Surprised to read that none of the entry fee goes to the charity, hence they want you to get sponsorship as well.

Re: Bristol Duathlon

Olly — Sun, 6 Sep 2009 21:54:27 GMT

I've just entered. Should prevent any post-half slacking off!

Bristol Duathlon

Rob — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:51:26 GMT

See Events section for details of this cycling and running event on 25/10/09

Re: Badminton Horseless Trials

matt_w — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:24:20 GMT

Looks like fun! Should be a nice warm-up for my half marathon in Birmingham the following weekend, so count me in if there's a team getting together!

Badminton Horseless Trials

Scott C — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:47:17 GMT

I was reading about a team event which takes place at Badminton Race Course which is a 5 mile or 9 mile race over the Badminton race course, including fences and water jumps! It is a 5 person team even where the time of the 4th person in the group is recorded, so it's about team work as well as just being quick.

I thought it sounded like a laugh - it's on 4 October, starting at 11:30. Further details:

http://www.rcsc.co.uk/events/hte/docs/hte_rules_09.pdf

Let me know if anyone is interested and if we get a team I'll book us in.

Re: Bristol Half Marathon 6/9/09

Rob — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:23:13 GMT

Meet up Ferry station at 8.45- 9.15 . Run is 9.30-10 start i think.

Meet at ferry station when runners return 11- 12.30

We will put a couple of SRC banners up @8.30.

I am hoping to persuade someone to put a banner up on Vauxhall Bridge (green bridge) on Cumberland road. any volunteers , it looked great on the Bristol 10K

As far as bags unless we can persuade another club runner to look after bags there are no storage facities at the Ferry Station.

Ashton Court 10K 27/9/09

Only a couple of weeks to go !!!

Foxtrot 5, 5 mile race, Broughton Gifford, Wilts, Sunday 30th August 11.00 am - Fast one lap rural course......winners time was 25 minutes in 07 so you can see how fast the course is.

... to everyone who helped Southville to 4th on the Tow path interclub 10km challenge on Friday 24th July, brilliant performance. I think this is the first team event Southville have taken part in ( please correct me if I'm wrong) and look at the result. Thank you Tracey for organising us all as team captain as well as racing.

Re: Bristol Half Marathon

Rob — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:41:52 GMT

I am still planning to run the route suggested in 2 weeks (sunday 2/8/09)starting at Gardiner Haskins car park. I will be there at 9.15 for a 9.30 start. I can carry small amounts of kit ( i have arranged to take my car). I plan to stop @ Bitton Station and will end at one of two pubs in the west of Bristol (Royal Oak on Lower Bristol Road or Hop Pole on Upper Bristol Road both are near cycle path)

There is a return train @13.29 from Oldfield Park to Temple Meades (£5.80 single)

Please let me know if you will be joining Sam and I. It would be good if we can run in pairs of similar ability.

Rob

For further details see me this week

Re: Bristol 10k , 17th July

chris-h — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:23:23 GMT

Well done to everyone tonight. Tom's 38.15, Lucy and Tracey's pb's, both sub 43 - sorry ladies but I can't remember exactly. It was a bit puddly so the main question is how did Sam manage not to have any splashes on his long shorts...answers to this site?

Re: Bristol 10k / Tow Path series

Sam J — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:09:38 GMT

I didn't run last night due to tonight's 10k, so no backing out now. Bring it on! (Positivity levels bound to drop in an hour or so when I'm stood in Greville Smyth Park in the p*ssing rain)...

chris-h — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:03:54 GMT

Re: Blaise Blazer

mattw — Wed, 8 Jul 2009 22:10:59 GMT

Hi, I recently started running again after a while out injured and been running with you guys on Tues/Thurs 3 times so far. I thought I'd try my luck with the Blazer too, really enjoyed it although I should have brought my inhaler for the final hill! Should be back next month for the final instalment and would love to be representing Southville.
