Great Western Day and The Grizzly

Main post tomorrow, as I am finished... But here is a taster

 Today - Grizzly - Mud - Hills (Mountains complete with snow at top) - The Bog - Stairway to heaven - Insanity - More Hills - Rivers - and The Beach - TWICE!! I have never done anything like that in conditions that bad, and you know what, some go back for more, not me, been there, seen it done that!!

I am not going to look for the results yet, because everyone who finished that madness was a top quality WINNER. It was like an ice rink, I have never seen so many people fall over!!!

From Paul  - 
Ouch - the Grizzly has chewed me up & spat me out again! The last six miles in wind & sleet just added to the fun!

Dear Sirs

I am sending you this email with regard to the Destination Basingstoke Half Marathon 2013.  My request is for you forward this to all your club runners and/or put it on your website. All links will take them to the web site which gives information about the race, how to enter on-line or to print a copy of the entry form.

Thanking you in advance of your assistance in this matter.

Neil Proctor: Course Director

THE DESTINATION BASINGSTOKE HALF MARATHON 2013

The third Basingstoke Half Marathon will take place in Sunday 6th October, after fantastic reviews in 2011 and 2012 it has recently been rated as one of the top 10 Half Marathons in the country by Runner's World.
The course is challenging – undulating through rural villages with great views, but this hasn't stopped it attracting elite athletes who broke the course record in 2012 by 8 minutes – 64 minutes and in spite of the hills, many athletes set personal best times.
The race organisation has been praised, with all roads fully closed to give a traffic free route, very friendly marshals with a huge amount of local support (especially at the local pubs!) – a great atmosphere unusual on such a rural route. All the usual facilities at the start/finish plus retail outlets and radio roadshow. Overall this is a race with the organisation and facilities of a big race, but the community feel of a much smaller one.
We look forward to seeing you on 6th October.

Sorry there is not more, but I am completely knackered, more tomorrow!

See you all soon
