Dam Flask Road Relays 2024 [] Full POV FAST Team Race [] Summer Storm [] Top 3 County Finish?

The Dam Flask Road Relays are a popular summer event held on the outskirts of Sheffield. I was running in Leg 1 for my team - Penistone Footpath Runners V50 men. Could we achieve a podium finish against several strong clubs from across South Yorkshire?
And watch out for the mother of all summer storms!

    Love that dry humour in the. Wet. Weather. What else. Looks good that I enjoy the adrenaline of a race. 😉 Except when I get stitch for some unknown reason. Then I slow down and the pain goes

    Stitches are the pits. Normally get one in the wind. Probably gulping too much air for me, and yes, slowing down helps, thankfully. 👍

    Great video, it really captured the evening superbly! That course PB of 19:07 is very impressive indeed, I'm guessing that wasn't in Vaporflys!

    Thanks Steven. Indeed not. Probably Nike Ekidens. In fact my super shoe adjusted time here is probably around 18:30 😀

    Well done 👏 Looks like a brilliant event. I’m sure you featured on Andrew Pick’s (run parkrun with me) video. I agree, relay events are fantastic, with a huge feeling of team spirit and togetherness.

    Thank you. Yes I saw Andy's video. I seemed to have a starring role for the first mile or so 😀

    "Sometimes 'great' is an overused adjective" Brilliant. I used to live in Sheffield in the 1980s. Some lovely training runs. Sheffield weather, though!

    Yes there is a video made in the early 1980s of Seb Coe training near there.

    I used to notice signs for Bradfield and Dungworth on my commute from Bakewell to Deepcar, some years ago. For some reason I'd often get the names mixed up in my head, and invent a place called Dungfield 😅 19:07 sounds like a great time, John. I'm surprised you didn't mention it more! 😁👍🏻

    As I mentioned elsewhere in the comments, probably an 18:30 with super shoe adjusted time :-). Also near by is Ughill. Which you can say next time you hit a challenging incline.

    I really enjoy the XC team events, even though I don't like XC. Camaraderie makes up for it.
