9/1/06: Winter training and racing
etc
Sorry
for the long break in news! Firstly the exciting announcement (that Oli has
obviously forgotten to mention) that Oli and I got engaged in November and plan
to get married this August here in Sheffield - tying the wedding in with the
White Rose weekend in the hope of attracting some of the world's elite!!??
Christmas and New Year provided a much
needed break from work and trying on wedding dresses with a couple of hectic
days in York followed by a whole week of training in snowy Garrigill. Jo Stevenson,
Rob Baker and Clare Leventon joined us
and Oli's parents for the New Year celebrations and we were also pleasantly
surprised to find the Adams and Sahni families from SYO and Conways from EPOC
were in the very same village!
Yesterday saw us compete in the final event of the South Yorkshire Cross Country League, which was also the Championships, at Penistone. Oli finished 7th behind an impressive run by Rob to take the Senior men's bronze with Jenny finishing 2nd Senior Lady and winning the series overall. Next up is the Yorkshire Championships at Rotherham for Jenny whilst Oli is planning the GB Junior training weekend on Burbage and Beeley.
