Great WAVA results everyone!
I have finished my 2019 races as a lowly Tunny (66%). I did manage a 69% parkrun but otherwise my racing was just too badly hit by my foot injury this year. I shall try to do better next year

I'm done for the year - I had hoped to do a 10-miler at the weekend, but a fortnight of no running made it a pointless exercise, so decided not to risk it
Just got a parkrun (Keswick) and a Santa Dash lined up for the coming weeks, so not going to make any difference to my scores
Good luck to anyone who has got anything in the pipeline in the near future

I googled yesterday (inspired by this thread!) to see what races there are in the next 6 weeks that I could get another time and % in for. Has to be something not 5K or 10K. Couldn't do a half I don't think.
I have found a 3K though, but it's a Friday afternoon in a city 50 miles away. Do I really choose my working day and long lunch break around a 3K just to get to be a Lion?! Possibly!
Thanks bonners. I hate running on ice too. To the extent that the only time I do treadmill running is when there is ice on the ground. And I own some Kahtoola microspikes for when it's snowy and icy (so I can still get out in the snow in the hills). So I was a bit distressed at how icy it was. But I just sought out the grass and leaves on the sides. Quite pleased with the time, given the conditions. And even though 20s slower 4 that months ago, I was 8 places higher, so that tells a tale, I think. G

look forward to it - was around at the same time last year but missed you.
saw LB and VP but had to dash off - I think you were back-marking so probably only just missed you

I should have said I'm probably done for the year ...
Inspired by HappyG I've just looked and found a couple of odd-distance races - one of about 6.8k (it changes every year), and a 7-miler, both about an hour's drive from home
