Grizzly Weekend
Saturday 6th March saw 14 Stubbies heading west for the arduous Grizzly and Cub run races on 7th March. The weather was really kind - if a bit chilly at the start of the day.
12 of us opted to spend Saturday night in Lyme Regis sharing family rooms to help reduce costs ... this makes it so much more sociable too! Tracie & Neil used the opportunity to catch up with family, joining us on the Sunday.
The Lyme Regis group included John & Sue Simister, Sue Robinson, Sarah Boddy, Rowena Dodds, Julie Ashman, Phil & Sarah Martin, Jas Smith, Mandi Jones, Caroline & Glen Street. Injury prevented Julie & Glen from running this year so they offered support around the route and watched the fun instead. Thanks.
The Grizzly's were Phil, Neil, Tracie, Mandy, Rowena & Caroline. Everyone else enjoyed the Cub run. There were a few Grizzly/Cub virgins and they all agreed they'd want to come back another year ... so next year we could have an even bigger group!!!
This year the bogs were very sticky but great fun. The 10 and 20 mile routes were exceptionally hilly this time ... even by Grizzly standards. I should know, this was my 10th visit!
Entries for 2011 will probably be posted on the Axe Valley Runners web site around 2nd week of September. Now that IS a date for your diaries!!! It fills up within a few days. I promise you it's not to be missed. Caroline Street.
