Felt good to be back out on the trails with only my (lack of) fitness as the limit

There's a childlike carefree pleasure to running in the rain and through puddles that non-runners just don't get. People* are so conditioned to avoid getting wet in the rain they do all they can to avoid it. Often, if it's chucking it down as I leave work the boss will ask if I want to leave my bike there and he'll give me a lift as it's raining, he just can't grasp that it's on to be outside in the rain
For me, it doesn't really matter how far I go, it's more just getting out doors and not stuck at my desk all the time. The only reason I started going a bit further was because I was talked into itLeerowe76 wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 11:33 pm Looked at this thread a few times and tbh I won't be running the big distances like some in here and despite being rather pants at running I've always enjoyed a run so today I ran (first for a while), 3.6 mile off road in the rain with big muddy puddles. Great stuff
I did one orienteering course when at school that I thought I'd wear shorts for. Never again! My legs looked like the prime exhibit for an S&M conventionBearlegged wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 6:52 pm Heh! Nice one Greg.
What's the idea with the full leg cover rule? Gorse, thistles, ticks?
It's from the concept that it reduces the chance of passing blood borne infections onto others as you go through "sharp" undergrowth. On some races (sprint and urban) it is not required.Bearlegged wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 6:52 pm Heh! Nice one Greg.
