Just about to set off for the Tandem tomorrow. It's quite a way away so we are staying in a Travelodge in York overnight. Praying that it doesn't snow anymore. I've spoken to the organiser and they're there, ready and waiting for us in the morning, so certainly not cancelled yet. She says there is snow on the ground but roads are clear.
The Tandem is in its 27th and final year. It's an odd event (which is why I fancied it) in that you run as a pair...... but only for the last 8 miles. Basically you have a team mate. You start at the same start point, but one does a 20 mile East loop from the start whilst the other does a 20 mile West loop. Both loops meet at a Village Hall 8 miles from the start/finish. You wait for each other there, and once you're together again, you set off for the finish.
We're not aiming for great times, just to get round. This is one of Rich's longest runs and he's never run 20 on his own before (he's worried about pacing). For me it's just miles on the feet ready for the 90 in two weeks time! So....wish us luck, I'll update tomorrow or Sunday!
