Christmas pub crawl run

12 comments

This may not be of interest if members of the group are already doing pudding dash/run events the end of November/beginning of December but I did say in the group chat I would add to the forum. So just incase anyone is interested. A Christmas pub crawl run has been mentioned over the last few Wednesday running sessions as a social event idea. Where we visit a selection of pubs in the Burntwood area along a pre-planned route suitable for running between each. The distance and starting point would depend on when and choosen pubs. A few suggestions so far have been The Swan, Nags Head, The Nelson and Wych Elm. If anyone is interested feel free to nominate a pub.

Let’s do it Rachel ! Plan a route, about 5km, Need to avoid the country lanes when it’s dark, Chasewater tee shirts to advertise ourselves, finish in a decent pub, happy days 🍻🥂 Anyone who just fancies the social can meet us in the last pub 👍

Rachel, how about this;

 

Sat 7th December ?

Start running at 1pm, meet at the Park Gate Inn,

Visit another 5 pubs, The Rag, Windmill, Malt Shovel, Nelson, Nags Head

and finish in the Star Inn.

About 4 miles running, say 1 hour

15 mins in each pub is 1 hour 30 minutes

Arriving in Star Inn about 3.30pm just before it gets dark

 

Cheers, Nick

The tag might be a bit out of the way though, the redmoor is a bit closer but will have one horrible hill to get back to the windmill 😂

Hi Rachel, Kate,

mean’t the Saturday, which is the 14th dec, doh...

Michael, I was working on 15 mins per pub, so if you want a pint in every one then Yes, go ahead 🤪🤣🍻

Just thinking about avoiding races other people may have booked and looking at events locally, sneyd pudding run, Chasewater pudding run etc...

think sat 21st dec might also be too close to Christmas for most folks...?

Sure we can thrash it out Wednesday over a pint 🍺

cheers, Nick

    Tacx/Zwift/Garmin Problem

    I’ve searched the web for the answer and can’t find it anywhere! How do you link your heart rate on your Garmin Watch to Zwift to get an accurate reading? Indoor Bike on Garmin doesn’t seem to work for distance or speed? Any ideas?

    Grand Prix Series 2020.

    This is an age group based competition run in house for our members only. So you compete against fellow club members in your category ie Male age 35-39... The idea is an incentive to train towards your goals and enjoy a great competitive spirit amongst club members. The races on the calendar will suit all abilities from GoTri to Ironman so generally everyone competes against athletes at their level. The calendar will also include some popular local running races ie Stafford Half marathon... To qualify your must enter your races under your own name and enter Chasewater Triathlon Club as your club name. How does it work ? Say we have 25 races on the calendar, you have to compete in a minimum number of races, say 5 (yet to be decided), you compete in your age and gender category ie Female 35 -39, whoever is the first club member home in that category is awarded, lets say 20 points, the 2nd member home 19 points etc working down...so the club member in each category at the end of the year with the most points wins the award 🥇 Yes, there will be prizes and recognition (and bragging rights) 😀 Prizes will also be awarded for other reasons over the year such as Best Newcomer and the Most appearances at races ( ie the trophy hunter ! ) The onus is on you personally to notify the committee of your results as soon as possible to be in the running for a trophy. Races included / considered to date; Our own GoTri events Our own Chasewater Sprint & Olympic races Stratford Tri Ludlow Tri Upton Tri BRAT events at Cliff lakes & Sutton Park Wombourne Tri Blenheim Palace Outlaw Half, full, Holkham and X. Ironman Staffs, Wales & Bolton UK. UK Triathlon Whitchurch. What we need now is a list from every member of the races you are doing next year, including those running races, so please use the Forum page set up next to this one to add your races. Thank you and Good luck ! 🏊🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🥇🏆 Nick Benton.
