POMPOM TIME!!! LAST WEEKEND FOR SEPTEMBER SUPERBNESS FROM OUR VRBs 💪🥳🥳

[Irishprincess]

Those pom-poms have been busy in September and here’s the last call for the month. And what a call it is! It’s all happening on Sunday so here we go:

🥳 The roads of Bristol are first up and we have three amazing runners there to lap up the atmosphere, bands and fabulous crowds.

cheekychipmunks and dijep are heading for the 10K while Tabbles is doing the HM. It’ll be a blast everyone 🥳 Don’t forget to do a little jiggle with the bands folks. We know you’ll want to 🕺

🥳 Next up is Super Sandie1961 who will be taking on the Tissington Trail HM. Is it just me or is that quite tricky to say quickly? 🤔 Sounds beautiful Sandie. I was going to ask for lots of photos but perhaps in a race that’s not a good idea 😂

🥳 From the trails of Tissington to Stafford now where we have our fabulous Time_Lord running the Stafford 10K. Closed roads and cheering points! What’s not to love TL?

🥳 With the epic name of Bladerunner2049 you can’t go wrong. He’ll be taking on the Winchester Half. It looks a hilly route Bladerunner but with your experience you’ll have no problem.

🥳 Finally, to wrap up this weekend’s awesome runners we have the inspiring Blackberrypie who is taking on her first (I believe) Triathlon! What an adventure! Go you!

Southampton Fast Twitch Sprint Triathlon is the venue.

Wow! What a superb lineup for this weekend IP! Have a wonderful time everyone, smash those races and enjoy the bling 💪💪💪🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Thanks for the pom-poms for a second weekend in a row IP! My legs are being instructed to carry me with gusto, not like strings of cooked spaghetti which they resembled last weekend. Anyone want this cold of mine? I’m done with it now! 🙄😅

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Oh dear! So sorry that your cold is lingering, I hope you feel better for the race and your legs indeed carry you with gusto. 🏅🏃‍♀️ I know that yo haven't received the medal yet but this looks like you running with gusto for it. 😊

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Ahh yes that’s me over61andstilltrying ! I’ll get my mitts on that medal even if I have to crawl in. 😅

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

🤣😂🤣 Now wondering how many medals you have. I have 1 😊

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

I’ve legitimately lost count over61! I have them all displayed on a hanger, and let’s just say there’s very little room left. 😅

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Well done to you!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

😫 sorry your cold is hanging on! Good luck this weekend too!!

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

It’s the worst one I’ve had in years CLR (LFT constantly negative), but I think I’ve cracked it now. Thanks, it’ll be fun tomorrow. 😀

[RunWillie Marathon]

Have fun everyone! ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[dijep 10 Miles]

Thanks for the pom poms IP. Heading off to Bristol tomorrow 😊

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to dijep]

Have fun on Sunday dijep . Just the 10k for me this year. I did the HM last year. 😀

[dijep 10 Miles in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thankyou, I just can't imagine doing a HM. At least the weather is looking good for us on Sunday. It's my first ever running event so my fingers are firmly crossed.

Goodluck to you too x

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to dijep]

Enjoy, and save a bit of energy for the cheeky hill towards the end! 👊

[dijep 10 Miles in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks for the warning ☺️

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to dijep]

You’ll see the roads starting to close!

[lexi6 10 Miles]

[Cmoi Marathon]

Pompoms being waved from a lakeside campsite, in the hope they'll reach you despite intermittent network coverage!

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

Thanks for the pompoms All done and what an event! I will do a run report in a separate post but I've completely exceeded my own expectations (I seem to have picked up a 5k pb along the way!) and was grinning most of the way round because the route was so beautiful.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Well done you! Will look out for your post……

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

First time at a large event, hill at the end robbed me of a 2 hour finish. Official time 2.:00:13. Big improvement on PB

Finding space and gauaging pace more difficult. Also ran without head phones. Watch had me finishing at 1:57 but distance was out as I used this to pace myself it thinks I ran 21.53km

And the hill at the end!

Bristol HM

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Tabbles]

That’s a great time! Well done and congratulations. You should be chuffed at that.

I did this one last year and the hill at the end caught me totally unawares!

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

Happy with the result, improvement from my HM in May of 2:20:26. I knew the hill was there and even practiced on it once, but it was a lot more difficult at 12 miles than a 10k training run.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Tabbles]

You bet! That’s a great improvement on your time!
