Some of you may remember me, some may have no clue. If you are in the latter category, feel free to skip this message.
Mike reached out to me yesterday, which was nice, and in our exchange of messages he suggested I might like to pop in and say "hello". So, hello!
I'm not sure exactly when I left FS but I'm guessing over a decade ago..? What have I been up to since? For a couple of years I was active on the Tribesports social network, and managed to get some participation from there in the CTC. But the owners of the brand eventually shut down the social network side of things, and focused 100% on sports clothing.
At around that time my love for rowing was replaced with a love for running, and that became my primary sporting pursuit. I was never fast, but I was fast enough to wonder why I hadn't started earlier! Eventually, joined my local running club, enjoyed it, volunteered to run the 'senior' section for three years, and helped it come through Covid stronger on the other side. Constant injuries sapped my motivation, and I gave up for almost a year. Dabbled with rowing again (and bouldering) but it wasn't the same. Was just getting back into running again when illness struck, the result being I have now not exercised for well over a year.
So what's happening here? Are indoor competitions still a popular thing? Is Madchester?
