• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I have a little listened to this interview and just
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: wait till you hear the name of this team of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the ladies that took part in the Hive Bay Triathlon. Sunday,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the eighteenth of August at the High Swimming Pool, ashfrad
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Try Club hosted the Hyde Bay Triathlon, taking part in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the swim bike run competition. We're a team of six ladies,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: four of whom are with me now. So let's start
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: by having a chat with the lady who put this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: team together, Julie griff Being Hello, Julie, how are you? Yeah? Good?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks and thanks for getting there four of them together.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That's quite a feat in itself. First of all, Julie,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: your team. It must have a name. What's your name?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: We've called ourselves the Scrambled Legs because our legs are
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: killing us at.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The end of it. Scrambled Legs. Oh, I love it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, what a great idea. It
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: must have been. Will and truly lost scrambled last time?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Overcooked perhaps even.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, definitely, it was very, very tough last week. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: we had some real great supporters.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, so take us back. How long was you know?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: How did you manage to cook in all these ladies?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Well, Victoria and I had both done the first trifle
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: on a few years ago, and I wanted to do
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: another one. Vic wasn't keen, so then I wrote cat
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: in and she persuaded the others. So then Vic went, oh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I love to.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Do it now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, it ended up.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Originally there was eight of us.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: We was hoping that it was going to be seven
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: this year, but one of them couldn't make it, so
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it was down to the six.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And this event was due to take place in May,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but it was canceled right at the last minute. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: did that kind of put you back? Because of your training.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: No, actually it was a bonus because the Astra tri
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Club put on swimming lessons over Ashra swimming pool, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: really helped us improve our techniques. They also put it
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: on some bike lessons that you could go along to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to help improve your techniques as well, and I believe
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: some running ones, but couldn't quite fit those on.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, I mean you had before that, had you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: had any experience of trifle ons?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: No?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It was again years ago a couple of the girls
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: from here at the hockey club said, oh, we're going
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to do a triathlon and we thought, yeah, let's do that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It will keep us fit and lot of trouble.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, And for you personally, three events, What was the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: strongest event.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not really strong in any.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Now you are, you must be strong in all of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: them if you're the same.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I hate the cycle because cycling up Sangate hill, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: just yeah, I struggle.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I will cut that one.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: So I guess probably the swim is probably my strongest part.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Right. But you've got you've got a history of playing hockey,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so that gives you a basic experience of you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what it likes to hurt and things like that. Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all used to the Yeah, the training, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you're using different muscles for each of.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The events, so let's be Vicky. I had a Vicky
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: now then Vicky. Judy just told me that you did
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the first one but you didn't want to go back again.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, that's definitely right.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: No one's persuades me to do things I don't really
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: want to.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Do, okay, and so so was there a bit of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: peer pressure so to put you you know, and then
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you caved in very much.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: So I wasn't the last one that given. This time
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: we have got a team member that joined very late,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: so fear of missing out. But yeah, it's a peer pressure.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Makes me do lots of things. Yeah. Yeah, that's not
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a bad thing though, is it. I mean when you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: look back now me, can you say that you were
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: glad you did the second one? I'm definitely glad to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah. And did you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: join in with the training that the Astra Right club? Yeah?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I did the training really really useful groups. And they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: must have given you a bit of confidence for the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: other Sunday surely, Yeah, lots.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Of confidence doing it. No, I'm not particularly fitting the run,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: don't enjoy the run at all. Some of the cycle
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I was much happier with I went to the lessons
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: on them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really good, excellent, Right, Okay, we're going to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: switch now to Katrina. Katrina, how are you all right?
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I'm very well, thank you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: How I'm good? I'm good. They are right. Juggling all
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: these three disciplines is pretty tough. What do you do
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for a living?
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I'm a driving instructor.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, so my servage benefits if people say, oh, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: want to, I want to I want to listen at
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock on Tuesday. Sorry I'm booked.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, my my work star is my own.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So that does make for me to be able to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: put in the training that I needed to do easier.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think a lot of people are
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: juggling work life balance and it's good to get, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the the exercise in. And certainly what hasn't been mentioned
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: already is we all went to Park Run as well
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: every Saturday, and that's a really supportive event every Saturday morning.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: So that helped us with the running.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And yeah, we attended to pull together once a week mainly.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: So yeah, well we all just supported.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Each other and even at the event, the support we
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: got from everybody participating and on the sidelines was huge.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And that's the bit that And did you did you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: find that you could all get together or did you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: kind of have to go from your bike on your
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: own or go for running your own?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Well, my favorite bit was the running. I do run anyway,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: so I'm quite happy plugging on my headphones and going
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: off and doing that. So I say the park rond
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: got us together for that. Otherwise I would tend to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: go off and do that on my own.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: We yes, so we went into the.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Pool regularly together and yeah, it is, it is. It
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is helpful when you've got people around you to do
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: it together, because you know, I remember Vicky saying to me, oh,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you know a few more lengths and we've done a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: mile in here and I'm ready to get out.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so the encouragement and again the bit of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: pressure there you can't down because you did give me
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a bit of stick there and yeah right, and a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: little Bertie tells me you're doing a great north front.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why the riding was quite a cute.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: How did you find the five k though, I mean
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was he tough after the two Yeah, discipline.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: About scrambled legs, but jelly legs definitely starting.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: In that first kilometer.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, once you start again, you've got
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: all the people running up and down the seafront and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: there we were encouraging each other. Only got kilometer left
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to go, remember Vicky saying that's me or a couple
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of columns left to go. So and with the run,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you're nearly at the end. So you just pushed through
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: at the end. But yeah, not so much cycling for
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: me in preparation, but the swimming in the run in good.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, this switched to Vicky and hell, Vicky, good now, VICKI,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so what can I say? I asked all the same questions.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But how was the day for you? Oh?
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: I was over the moon of the day. So I've
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: recently had a child, she's just hurned one in July.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So the triathlon was a.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Way for me to get back into fitness, have the
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: support of my phones around me to try to improve,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: to see how things go.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, I had a great day.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So you've so you've how long you been training? And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: if you had a child a year ago then so.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: I started back at hockey in January to ease myself
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: back into a bit of running, bit of fitness. February
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: I went back to park run, but training for the
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: tribe probably maybe since March, not long.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So the cancelation in that must have done you a favorite?
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I was very thankful.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, And so as do you find juggling a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: young child and and all your training supportive? Husband?
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, he's brilliant, so he will more than happily let
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: me go out go for run, cycle, swim evening Saturday
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: mornings during the week and take little one and then
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: we swap over because he plays cricket at the weekend
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: A give and take a right, Yeah, I was nice
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to have a supporty husband, actually, isn't it, because then
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he understands what you're going through. Yeah yeah, so you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: let him play cricket and the great So once again,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: out of the three disciplines, which one was your favorite
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: or the strongest?
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: My strongest is a swim.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, without trying to blow around here, and I'm quite
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: good at all three, but I enjoy the swim the
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: most and I'm more anxious about the run.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, But but you understand, you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: all play hockey, so you've obviously got the core strength
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that you've built up over the years, and a lot
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of cardio strengths as well, so that must pull you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: through all three events.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: You definitely feel it the most when you transition from
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: the cycle to the run. Your legs struggle to adapt
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: and you've got to find your rhythm of your stride.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: But once you get into that, it's okay to kind
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: of mentally then pull yourself through.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, excellent, Okay, so you'll be back to you on
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the day. I mean, how does it work you all
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: go in the swim, I know, but I saw a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: picture of you all coming in and you're all pretty
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: close together. And do you stay together or you do
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: your own thing?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: No, we especially this time, we didn't go in the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: same time.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Before on the other triathlons, we've arranged that we all
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: go together, but we.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Decided this time we were going to split up and
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: go our own times. But we've all got the same
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: color shirts, so as we're going around, we can spot
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: each other, cheer each other on as we're passing each other.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They all got lots of grambled egg.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Motive for them, but At the end, we all check
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to make sure everybody's in, and whoever's the last one in,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: we all go back.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: To a certain point and we all run in together so.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: That they're not on their own, so your times will
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: be pretty close together.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Then really, yeah, well we've all come in and registered,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: but then the one who's last we always go back
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and come back in with them all okay, And through
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: it we've made a great friendship and we have regular
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: games nights.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I'll do you.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're all very supportive to each other's great.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Excellent Vicky, you've done two, would you do a third one?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Definitely?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I think we're already signed up for that, so I
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: want you to be a pressure this time.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: We're definitely going to.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Be doing it. Okay, And have you just done the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: High Bay one? Have you ever ventured out to another triathlon?
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: We did one endover.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: We did the door triathlon that was based up at
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: the Sports Center at Wickfield.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: We didn't enjoy that one quite so much. They're still
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: in most events, still really supportive, but the one don't know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: there's got a nice view of the sea, so much
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: more pleasant experience through the industrial.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Estate we found. Okay, excellent and so turn it back
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to you, Katrina, and now you've got the Great North
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Ron coming up. Did they interfere with your training to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: do the cipling and the scream?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: No, because well I think that the swimming helps you
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: ultimately with your fitness for your running, So that was
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that it's all helps in the bigger picture.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Not a massive cyclist, so I haven't been out on
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the bike very much, but yeah, no, having the Great
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: North Run there as well?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: When there have you done a half a marathon before?
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I have?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is probably the biggest event that I
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: will be joining.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Yeah, I might need a few get me through.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It is okay, Vicky. The bet you then, so, was
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that your second? Did you do the first bay? Or
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: did was not your first Triflon?
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: It's not my first. I've done that many years ago
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: when I was a bit younger. I did the Dartford
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Triflon which is all usprint, and then I did the
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Hive Bay.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Back in twenty eighteen. Do we do twenty eighteen with
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: these guys?
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I was quite grateful that last year had been canceled
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: because I was pregnant last year, I had been gutted
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: not to join in and.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Then was able to join in again this year.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, excellent, Now last word with you then, Julie. Okay,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's been a great team effort. But I mean you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: can speak on behalf of the others if you like.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Is there any thank you that you've got to say? Yep,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we'd like.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: To thank all the supporters, especially Kendra Charman, who normally
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: does compete with us but couldn't issue. But when we
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: went out for a couple of troll bike rides, she
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: came with us because she is a very good cyclist
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: and helped those who were struggling, so that was great.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: She was also there on the morning of the triathlon,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: didn't say a word to us that it was her birthday,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: so she was there right from the beginning to support us.
• 14:52

  Speaker 1: Vicky Baxter, Katrina Peak, and Vicky Jones for the Scrambled
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Legs team. But we must forget the two other members
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: who couldn't make the interview. That was Roona Freyer and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Kirsty Johnson. And I caught up with those ladies down
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: at the Three Hills and I just admire the way
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: they bonded together. You know, it was great that they
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: waited for that last person on the run to come in,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: whoever she may be, but they stuck together. And they're
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: going to do it again next year, so that would
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: be really something to look forward to. Now I'll be
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: looking through the playlist and I can't believe this. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: put in a sort of a search the word legs
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and guess what'll come up, and say littles and this
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: is for the Gramble Legs. It's as easy Top and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a song called legs. That was easy Top there and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a song called Legs. Last Saturday it was the Park Run. Well,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I know I've been going on about this for a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: few weeks now, but you know it's really important because
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it reached its tenth birthday and how amazing is that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, I think there was just one hundred
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and thirty six it took part and it's just gone
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: from strength to strength, it really has. So what I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: did after the park Run on Saturday, I caught up
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: with a gentleman who was the event director and his
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: name's Trevor, and so let's have a little listen to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: what he has to say. Okay, now I'm up on
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the leaves and we've just finished the Folks and Part
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Round tenth anniversary, and I'm joined now by the event
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: director Trevor devout Trevor, how did it go for you?
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: I had a great time, and I think everyone else
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: did too. I had a lot of great feedback from
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: people who came out and enjoyed themselves. They stood in
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: the rain, they had a great warm up. We got
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: to listen to some really great guests who write the enthusiasm.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: I had a great time.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Did it take much of preparing used it
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: as an event director?
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, It's actually surprising how much crap it takes
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: just to use the band's stand. We have to put
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: a permit in several months out, and of course, you know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: for certain guests, you want to make sure you get
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: in touch far enough in advance because they could be
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: in demand. And then also trying to track down personnel
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: like past run directors who you know may have moved
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: away and things like that. So just having to reach
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: out to people takes a bit of work as well.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, And so for the benefit of our listeners,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: just kind of run us through the foremost side of things.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Who's there.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: So we had six invited guests as well as our
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: entire run director corps. We welcomed counselor Jim Martin. We
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: also had three past Run directors, Jenny Downs, Rob Hwish
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: and Maggie Rose who Rob and Maggie were founding Run directors.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: And then we also had wilbrid Grieves, our Olympic hurdler
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: and he was our guest starter for the day, so
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: it was great to have him in that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good because a little people I don't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: think when Wilbert speaking, he's a very motist man. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: don't think they realized just how, you know, how high
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in athletics that he went. He actually represented England in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ten and four hundred meters of hurdles
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: in the Olympic and the Commonwealth Games. So it's quite
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: cool to getting.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Back absolutely, you know, and I reached out to a
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: number of Olympians who you know, represented not only Great
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Britain but our area and you know, I'm really fortunate
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: that he responded to be able to come out and
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: and join us on the.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Day and the runners himself. Do you think they had
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a good chilling? Absolutely.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: One of the great things about Park Run is that
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: it's different from a race where you know, you've got
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: lots of spectators. Most of the people at Park Run
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: are participating and a lot of times the most memorable
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: events happened when.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: There's awful weather.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: You know, we get so used to having a gorgeous view,
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: but you know when when it's raining sideways, it just
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: adds to the fun.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the runners a pretty hardy bunch and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: it was good of them to kind of come the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: early and enjoyed the warm up. And that was the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: first third part run. Tell us how you managed to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: didn't dream that up?
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: So the folks in Running Athletics Club has a great coach,
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Katherine O'Connor, and I just rung up and said, hey,
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: you know, I think we've got everybody together a little
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: bit of time. Why don't we do a warm up,
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: get everybody moving together. It could be a great way
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: to build some community and have some fun. And so
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: she came out in her in her too two and
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: her her pink leg warmers ahead shed living Newton John
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: thing up there and got everybody moving, got physical.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. It was great. And so what's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the next big function if you like? On the calendar
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of part run? Is there anything going on between now
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and Christmas?
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: The big thing that we're looking forward to is probably
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: our tinsil run on the twenty first of December. We're
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: going to have a special run going to dress up Santa, costumes, reindeer,
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: you name it, and yeah, we'll look forward to seeing
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: people come out in their fancy dress for that one.

  Speaker 1: so I was probably the driest person at the park Run,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but we had. As he said, the Cafarine O'Connor came
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: up and I don't know if it was out of

• 30:34
  Speaker 1: me that the wednsday your Winter league starts next week.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Winter league is one of the loveliest days of the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: year and oh, I want to think about winter, do we.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's a bit scary anyway, Hannah said she would do
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: her best to come on the show and tell us
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: all about it. Now, netball seems to be thriving since
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the courts were refurbished. But did you notice netball wasn't
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: included in the Olympics and never has been. And I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: find out amazing that's really annoyed netblele players for many,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: many years. So I'm going to take a little and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: have a little look closer on that. I wonder why
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: netble is not in the in the Olympics. Okay, So
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna squeeze and try and get a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: couple more songs in. And this is everybody's talking beautiful South.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Everybody's talk beautiful South. There. Everybody's talking a nice gentle song.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And do you know what, it's just get out and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: make the most of this weather, because I think it's
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: going to change, isn't it. I'm mean, the school holidays
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: are closing up now, and it's just I don't know
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: what's going wrong with the weather in this country. Do
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you remember earlier on in the year it was like
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: thirty degrees all over Turkey and Spain and and we
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: were still getting soaking wet and say fair does it right? Okay,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Well now, well I think it's about it from me.

  Speaker 1: nine or eighteen mile run, so I'll be right on
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the mic during the runners. In this last year the

• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And at the Star is great. It's in the Rye

• 32:42
