Tracy Runs for TOG
Tracy Lawless:- a helper at TOG is doing a sponsored ULTRA RACE (anything over 26.2miles). It is called “The Grand Union Canal Race” and starts at 6am on Saturday 24th May. The race goes from Birmingham to London down the Grand Union Canal and is145miles long !! It is a non-stop race which needs to be completed within a time limit of 45hours, there are also cut off times throughout the race. She is not allowed anyone running with her for the first 70 miles, but after that she can have buddies to run/walk with her INFORMATION FOR GRAND UNION CANAL RACE 24TH-26TH MAY 2008 Can be found at:-. http://www.gucr.co.uk Tracy says “I am currently in training; this will involve practicing running at night (with a head torch), running whilst tired in the early hours of the morning, weight training (I’ve joined a gym!), and also lots and lots of miles to increase time spent on my feet. The race will be hard and not always involve running, in fact it is recommended that you walk all the inclines at the locks, even needing to walk backwards down the locks at the later stages because of muscle fatigue. After so long the difficulty may not be physical but mental, and to be mentally strong enough to want to carry on through the pain and fatigue, hopefully having running friends and support will help lots with this”
ALL AT TOG WISH TRACY GOOD LUCK. IN THIS VENTURE
