Salomon Advance Week – Tim, Tom and Anna enjoy the sun… Written on March 31, 2009, by matt.
The week of the 15th– 20th March saw the 2009 Salomon Advance Week take place in the beautiful environment of Avignon, France. This is close to the home of Salomon Sports and is a perfect setting for the R&D that is such an important factor in making the Salomon brand what it is today. Advance [...]
Weekend racing Written on March 23, 2009, by johnh.
I did two great A cat short races this weekend, one a race that has run for a few years, The Really Wild Boar race, and the other a brand new race in the Peak District, Wolfs Pit. Although there was only a relatively small field of about 80 at Wild Boar, the quality wasn’t [...]
The Mighty Deerstalker Written on March 22, 2009, by andys.
Last night, and for the second year in a row, I ran (and won) The Mighty Deerstalker (www.themightydeerstalker.com). It’s supposedly a 10km race, but it doesn’t feel like your bog standard 10km race, unless the emphasis is on bog. The course goes up and down through forest and scree on either side of the Tweed [...]
Vertical Rush – some afterthoughts Written on March 21, 2009, by andys.
Well I’ve now recovered and almost forgotten how much this event hurt. I have to say that being more used to multi-hour events, this one was a bit of a shock and a lot painful. Dizziness kicked in at about floor ten, legs tripled in weight as blood turned to lactic by about floor twenty [...]
Andy Symonds runner up at Vertical Rush Written on March 19, 2009, by matt.
From a ‘field’ of 600+ Andy Symonds came a highly commendable 2nd in his first (and maybe last? I’ll let him answer that one) tower running race. I’m sure that he will be along soon to give the gritty reality, I’m just here on the official line. The Shelter event, held at Tower 42 in [...]

Half Tour of Pendle Written on March 9, 2009, by johnh.
So thats the first chammpionship race of the year out of the way, and I managed to suprise myself. Like I said in myfirst posting I normally dont run that well in the first few champs races of the year, but in the Half Tour of Pendle on Saturday I ended up finishing second. It [...]
TuffNutz Written on March 8, 2009, by annaf.
8 tasks, lots of mud and a whole lot of nutters! Pretty much explains how my Sunday went. TUFFNUTZ is an 11 mile endurance team race based at Thurstaston Visitor Centre on the Wirral. With 8 TuffTasks to encounter en route – some physical and some mental while carrying a fence post.  In the [...]
