Phoenix Striders 5K
Race Results lorraine writes "Leo Cole is definitely back from injury as on Tuesday evening he started his Phoenix 5K series with 6th place in a 'modest' time (Leo's terms!) of 22:05 on a rather muddy and hilly course!"

L'Etape Caledonia
News lorraine writes "While many of our members were taking part in the Halstead Marathon or manning the water station, 3 of our members Rach O’Connor, Neil Lawrence and Paul Langridge had taken off to Highland Perthshire in Scotland to take part in L’Etape Caledonia, a challenging 81 mile cycle race on roads closed to traffic. The race starts and finishes in Pitlochry and takes in the stunning scenery around there, Aberfeldy, Loch Rannoch & Loch Tummel – and includes the small matter of a 2.1km Category 4 climb which probably makes our mighty North Hill seem like a stroll.

If that doesn’t sound tough enough, our peletonistas advise gale force winds and torrential rain made it very hard work. Rach was involved in a mini pile up during the mountain climb, emerging a bit bruised but okay, Paul was almost taken out by another cyclist but survived with Neil seemingly managing to escape any drama.Despite all thrown at them, they all completed the course within the very tight cut off time - Rach finished in 6.11 with Neil & Paul finishing in 6.21.

Surprise surprise, they all plan to do it again next year and take a bunch of us along as well!!!!

Bluebell 5
Race Results lorraine writes "Leo Cole has been out injured for the last few months so it's good to see that he's now recovered and up for the challenge again!

Leo's was back in action at Sunday's Bluebell 5 which he completed in 36:11, coming 26th out of a field of about 220 - pretty impressive as this was only his second run since getting injured.  And his thoughts on the race .... 'I would recommend the event - a very scenic trail run - demanding and undulating but fun (well, sort of!)'"

Trans Britain
Cross Country stewart writes "
 Just been received. Anyone up for it?
Dear All

Please circulate the following information to club members interested in a new challenge for 2012.
Entries close on 30th June (and with just 4 months left to train !) this is the last chance to enter this iconic race.

Trans Britain is run to generate funds for the UK registered charity Teach Africa. Reported by previous entrants as the “experience of a lifetime”. We start in Scotland at the cave where Robert the Bruce hid from the English and follow some of the most beautiful trails the UK has to offer through the Lake District and North Yorkshire before finishing in North Wales at a historic castle. (see www.gobeyondultra.co.uk/events and look for the 6 day Ultra for more information and to enter)

The run is intended for all abilities with the last runners home taking more than 12 hours on the longest day. Anyone who has finished a marathon certainly has the required fitness level to complete this challenge.

All competitors receive one of the best quality running tops we have come across, free race mementos and the invitation to join us at the celebration banquet at Ruthin Castle.

A range of payment options exist including a FREE ENTRY raising money for Teach Africa.
I hope to welcome some of your club at this inspirational race.

Guy

Alton Water 10K
Race Results lorraine writes "James Farren dusted off his marathon legs and had a day out at Alton Water for the Alton Water 10K.

This event seems to get bigger each year - there's plenty to keep the family entertained (BBQs, stalls, bouncy castle, etc.) and this year it sported a celebrity starter as well with Griff Rhys Jones getting the runners on their way.

Unfortunately, the course is still as hilly as ever but that didn't stop James putting in a sterling effort to finish 6th in 37:51 (and 2nd in the 40+ age group).  James' 12 year old son Joel competed in the under 17 5K event and finished in 24th place with a brilliant time of 20:47."

Halstead Marathon Results
Race Results lorraine writes "Another Sunday, another marathon - but this time the weather decided to change and it was warm and sunny!

We had a number of runner out and there were some good times recorded on the hilly course.  New member Jon Smale was first to reach the finish line in a brilliant 3:23.  Seb Gwyn-Williams was second home on his marathon debut - he arrived at the finish in 4:04.

Claire Gordon, in her second marathon in 3 weeks, was our first lady back in 4:13.  She was followed closely by Dave Payne and Sally King who both clocked 4:18.

Ladies 'run of the day' must go to Annabelle Reed who smashed her personal best by miles when she and Jonny Kempster both finished in 4:23.

Penny Clarke kept charman Stewart Waller on the straight and narrow round the course and they finished together in 5:10

Pete Burns is one of the few competitors who can say they'd done all the Halstead marathons, this year he completed the course in 5:55.

To add an extra shine to the day, the ladies team of Claire, Sally and Annabelle picked up a superb 2nd place!!!!

Our water station was really busy (could be something yo do with the weather) with most people wanting a couple of cups of water and sometimes a sponge as well!  So special thanks to the members of Havering Joggers for helping out on the first loop - without them it could have been chaos!
