Uploading photos from the @CanaryTrails Copthorne Races to my website now... Should all be available shortly.

@Officehippy @cavershamjjruns @wrptaylor The fixed length are generally a bit cheaper too. The truly baffling thing to me is how there's a "women's" version. What are people doing with their poles?!

Santa may be bringing me some poles. But which sort?? Leki? Black D? Harrier? Hit me up with suggestions ... Bonus points if they're available in the Centurion shop

How it started. How it's going.

Exactly one of our cats is enjoying the snow. The other has set not one paw out of the door.

@Neily_wilko @PeaksPrincess @nuddypants @CraggRunner @windsorAndy @SMillbery @H_is_running @the_running_pug @BrianDrought As if Brian does training runs!

I’m not saying I only do @CraggRunner events for the post race goodies, but…

@hangingwithmr @ultralouweezy Yeah, that second one is the course I did. Looks like they've thrown some extra climbs into the section from 20-40km now.

@ultralouweezy @lennym Old versus new I believe? Extra 500m of elevation this year. 😱

Had a try running with poles today, not sure I'll master it, uncoordinated. 🤷‍♂️ Keep trying??

@hangingwithmr @ultralouweezy @muddyvee They had Red Bull Cola. Not as good as OG red Coke, but it will do in a pinch. Worst thing was that it was all warm. The last real aid station had a range of beers, including AF.

@lennym @ultralouweezy @muddyvee I noticed that their CP's have no mention of coke? I'll be leaving the RedBull until I'm desperate if at all.

@hangingwithmr @ultralouweezy @muddyvee I left a good amount of Red Bull puke on the slopes of the Schafberg.

@hangingwithmr @ultralouweezy @muddyvee The first part has definitely changed. We went through Fuchsl am See twice this year. The back half looks the same from what I can tell. I think being a good 1000m lower in general makes heat more of an issue that other similar races. Was 35 in the afternoon this time.

@ultralouweezy @hangingwithmr @muddyvee Not sure I agree with that. The second big climb in particular is mostly on a pretty wide track and lends itself very well to poles. That said, it was balls hot this year and I needed every shred of help I could find on that climb (and everywhere else).

@hangingwithmr @muddyvee Having watched you evolve as an awesome trail runner, I don't think you'll need them, the climbs at Mozart 100 don't really lend themselves to using them imo, they're the kind of climbs which make poles more of a hazard than helpful.

@nuddypants @CraggRunner @windsorAndy @PeaksPrincess @SMillbery @H_is_running @the_running_pug Aye, saw them and @Neily_wilko on the entry list.

@lennym @CraggRunner Oh brill. I think @windsorAndy and @PeaksPrincess have entered too. I’ve still got time to bully some others into this event as well. cc. @SMillbery @H_is_running @the_running_pug

Port out. No, wait. Port in. Definitely port in. It's Christmas.

@DeeringRob > Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

It’s #AdventMovieDoorChallenge! I’ll post a pic of a door from a film every day til Christmas. If you get it, don’t name it - others might still be guessing. Quote it if you can, or just tell me - I’ll believe you. Answer tomorrow.

@R08BO @H_is_running Ruby Port. Meh. Tawny Port. Get in my face!

@H_is_running IKR

Absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is the finest Christmas film of all time. Not even close.

@iowrunner Those last couple look like it could easily be 30 degrees. Looks glorious.

Perfect day for a run, Had a lot of fun.

If you sleep without a cover, it's your fault when the monsters get you. Everyone knows they can't get you when you're fully under the cover.

@cavershamjjruns Looks... cold.

Chillage in the hillage with Colin. Lovely route, good chats, plenty of upski. Triffic. strava.app.link/Y3u26Hl1Dvb
