The Borders League fixture after Pensby would be in Wrexham, on March 1st. But then it wouldn’t. Wrexham council was going to be difficult and maybe the race would be cancelled. And then it was sure it would be cancelled. And then it was actually on; just not in Wrexham. It got moved to Birkenhead.
In the meantime, I had noticed the Anglesey 10k/ half marathon were on that day too. That was tempting! I hadn’t run it in a while, but there was a new route. Maybe give it a go?
And when I was already registered for both other races I suddenly saw the Sbrint ‘Stiniog race announced. On the same day! I had really enjoyed that race the year before. But this date was getting crowded now…
What am I going to do? Well, I think Sbrint ‘Stiniog is out. It's a great race, but I have my club allegiance to drag me to the Borders League, and the fact that I've paid full price to drag me to Anglesey. We'll see which of these two forces is stronger! One thing I know; if the Eryri Harriers would not be willing to car share too Birkenhead, I am not going. Then it will be Anglesey! I am not going to drive for three hours on my own for a 35 minutes race, and not make the tiniest difference to the club ranking anyway! The club ladies have never fielded enough athletes this entire season, so we absolutely have penalty points coming out of our ears. It is already not recoverable anymore. But if they would be willing to share transport then I'm not sure… time will tell!
