Great South Run, 28th October

Three of our members were competing in the Great South Run today, alongside 17,000 others - bet it was cold and blowy for the last two miles along the seafront, brrrrrr (it usually is!)

Well done to Johnny Deebank with 1.12 19, Richard Sherlock with 1.23.50, and Lisa Norman with 1.43.12. We await a full report.......

October 10K Results

There was a good turnout on a chilly but calm morning today - 26 of our members contested the 10K handicap, and the conditions helped quite a few to new personal best times, as noted below. This year, nobody forgot that the clocks had gone back the night before, so everyone turned up at the right time!

Fastest time of the day was set by Pete Jones, whilst Sabine El Bacha was the best at predicting her time, only 4 seconds out (and Nick Cook was the least accurate, being nearly 4 minutes quicker than he forecast!!)

Thanks to all the helpers - Geoff, Bob, Dave, Chris and Steve. Any errors in the results below are all Steve's, though.

Pete Jones	40.54
Keith Hull	41.52

Abingdon Marathon Sun 21 Oct

Report from Laura…..

 

Keith and I left at 7 am on Sunday morning to head to the Abingdon Marathon. We got there in plenty of time at 8 am, perfect timing as usual by Keith. We made our way to the start (it was a bit further than the 10 minute walk they had put on the details!). When we got there, we decided that it was a good idea to queue for the loo!! Ten loos for all, so a long wait! 8.51 am when we were done, 9 minutes till the start, oh well no time for nerves. We dashed to the start, quick warm up and were off.

I had a great 23 miles, the last 3 hurt! I had not finished long and in came Keith, looking good :) 

We both went off to shower (not happy, cold!), and in the changing room I met a very happy Lorayne, who had achieved a 10 minute PB! 

Fantastic day, great results!

Keith 3:21 1st v60
Lorayne 3:38 PB

Laura 3:11
