June CMOTM

21 July 2022 - By Jason Lilley

For June, the Committee have allowed an exception to the usual rules and have chosen Danny Connor and Jonathan Moore as joint Club Members of the Month.

Danny and Jonathan gave up their weekend to crew and support the WRC team in the Race to the King ultramarathon. Both provided invaluable support to Maxine, Jenny, Jodee and Sarah throughout the event, tracking two sets of runners across the 100km route, making sure they were all fed and hydrated.  Danny ended up helping several other runners on the course and Jonathan ended up running almost a marathon himself (without training!) in helping the others get round.

This was a difficult month for the committee, with a swathe of excellent nominations to choose from:

Tom Warman – for running the Angles 50k ultra in the first weekend of June which was his second 50k race in a week after completing the Ultra Downs 50k the previous week.

Jodee Mayer – For her training and performance at the Race to the King 100k.  Jodee created a training plan for her and the other members of the WRC crew, and followed it carefully, adapting when necessary to stay injury-free.  Jodee also completed 2 other races in June and supported the results secretary too.

Sarah Naughton– For her great training and effort to complete the RTTK 100k.

Jenny Layley – For her great training and effort to complete the RTTK 100k.

Maxine Leech – For digging deep and completing the RTTK 50k.

David Carey – For completing a number of races throughout June, achieving a number of PBs.

Angela Wray – For her performances at the Triathlon World Championships where she came 9th in the world in the Sprint distance race and her relay team came 6th.
