I'm guessing its not the bloke in the shades and the Girl Guide socks. No self-respecting Englishman would wear shades . . .

My money's on the chap in blue - looks like he's going well. Times are all relative I guess; 40 mins for a 9.5k sounds alright to me. Well done RB.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph

The good looking one of course.





OK then ... Number 726.

That photo was taken in Toral de los Vados.

I had to wear the shades because I didn't want anyone to recognize me wearing the girl guide socks.

Great photo Sampedro! I know ‘em all.

From left to right.
726, Riazior Blue. Long socks. Calm. Poised.
The other 3 are legends of the Aquilianos route.
832. The man from Ozuela. Good runner. Built like a prop forward.
745, Domingo the mountain goat. Always amongst the first to arrive in the Aquilianos long route. In his late 50s. Amazing!
896, Cake-boy. Purveyor of Ponferrada’s finest cakes.
These guys knock hours off me in the hills. Brian overtook the lot of them!

RB’s Toral 2006 marathon effort didn’t get the coverage it deserved on runningcommentary.co. Our man from A Coruña finished in around 3 hours 15 minutes, as fresh as a daisy and with a blister the size of Castilla la Mancha. Didn’t complain a bit though. Dug out a couple of photos that I didn’t post at the time (I was waiting for the race report! Sad )

Well done for the Ordes effort. Sounds like you haven't lost too much time. Smile

3 hours 18 it was. You are right BB, I didn't complain at all, after all 3h18 wasn't too bad a time on next to no training. Oh .. the blister.. I can't say I noticed the blister, it was the soles of my feet that were on fire.

By the time I had a spare five minutes to write up a report, I thought that the moment had passed - Christmas Day it was.

The second week of my preparation is now almost complete. I've had to miss today's run due to my nephew's birthaday, so will have completed 58 easy kilometers by tomorrow morning - let's see if the weather does justice to the photos of Bastiaguero and Santa Cruz.

Next week I start on the 'quality' training, there's a 5 X 800m session and a 5 KM tempo run. Theres also the first of the long runs; 24Km next Saturday. I'm lloking forward to the speed stuff as I haven't done any fast stuff since the first week in December.
