    @girlinahat Serious respect for that terrain! Um, the medal with the guy with the club, ummm whats the red bicycle seat supposed to be. See, I'm childish and it looks like c0ck and balls. Im diggin' it though. :blush:


    I haven't read the race report yet because I'm trying to figure this out. *Giggle*


    ETA i tell ya. I sure needed that laugh. Today was kind of day i felt i needed an antidepressant. Nope just a cockand balls giggle.

    @girlinahat -Wow, that sounds like a pretty epic race in all regards, including that medal. Is that 3 dimensional? Does it move? It's very interesting. Congrats to you on outrunning that sweeper. It sounds like it wasn't an easy task for most involved. I ran my first trail race this weekend and I have a new respect for you guys. My course was only 10 miles, had far less elevation (although it was described as quite technical by some of the experienced runners I talked to) and it kicked my butt! I can only imagine how you were feeling afterwards. FWIW, I swore off marathons after my first as well (and pretty much every one thereafter). Give it a few weeks and all of that pain will be a distance memory replaced by unicorns and rainbows. You will be back to seek revenge on that TomTom before you know it. Congrats on a job well done!!

    @girlinahat - loved the race report. Groaned when I saw the elevation map and love the picture of you almost smiling!
    This though made me laugh out loud!

    @Elise4270 this race is PERFECT for those with childish giggling sense of humours. The ‘bicycle seat’ is EXACTLY what you think it is. The man with the club is the Cerne Abbas Giant, a massive chalk figure carved into a hill. His massive c@ck is famous.

    Every piece of merchandise associated with the race bears a willy, lots of willy talk and even bags saying ‘I love willies’. It’s all in good humour and pretty much sums up the race!

    The ‘bicycle seat’ on the medal is supposed to spin. On mine, it’s a bit stiff so I’ll need to give it a good rub to get it into action.

    Also I think I need some of the merch from that race - it sounds like so much fun! No, I don't want to run it with you and @Elise4270 next year. I just want the 'I love willies' bag! :)

    Ugh, it has been a hectic last few days, so no runs since middle of last week. I was planning to run tonight after work, but a nasty storm has been moving through, so my plan is to get on track tomorrow and hopefully run the remainder of the week to meet my goal for the month.

    The recent race reports are crazy! I’ve been looking for something fun and local as I prep for my marathon, but I haven’t seen anything good lately.

    Not sure why my heart rate was through the roof during the run though. Could've been the temperature. Or the humidity. Or the snake we almost trod on. Dunno. :neutral:

    Dunno. Could be anything. Probably the humidity though. :lol:
