2016 Club Championship #5: Wymeswold Waddle

There was a nice turn out on Sunday (08.May) for the May round of the Club Championship at the Wymeswold Waddle – although the ladies certainly out shone the men in terms of attendance.

Helen Pape was first home for the club and 3rd lady overall with a time of 34:28 for the 5 mile up-hill and back down again course. Next to finish was Saya Harvey with Dave Summers the first to finish for the lads.

The final club results were:

Name Time
Helen Pape 34:28
Saya Harvey 35:23
Dave Summers 37:17
Chris Jones 38:51
Emma Potter 39:31
Sue Fulbrook 40:40
Sue Barrow 42:24
Clare Dorman 43:58
Kate Howes 45:17
Felicity Crotty 46:52
Amanda McPherson 51:34
Jo Smith 51:40

Well done everyone on some excellent running πŸ™‚

These results have caused a shift in both Championship standings. Helen Pape is now leading the Ladies’ Championship (with Jo Smith & Helen Duncan in 2nd and 3rd places) whilst the Men’s Championship is now headed up by Chris Jones (with Paul Rogerson and Simon Murton in 2nd and 3rd spots). You can view the latest Championship Tables here:

The designated June Championship races (The Beacon Hill Solstice and The Northumberland Coastal Run) are both full up so if you didn’t get an entry it’s too late now – never mind there is always the Whissendine 6ix in July to look forward to πŸ™‚

RR&TC Racer: The Scorcher Edition #101

Hi Rutlanders

Want to give a warm welcome to our latest new member in the form of Nick Adams. Many of you will know Nick as Claire Adams’ better half πŸ˜‰ … welcome to the club Nick, look forward to reporting on your achievements (like in this week’s edition of The Racer below!)

Last weekend was certainly a scorcher and the first weekend of the year where we needed to watch our hydration levels whilst out racing or training. Be careful out there and remember the sunscreen too. Meantime seems things were hotting up on the competitive front with the latest Club Championship race at the Wymeswold Waddle. The official results haven’t been published yet but well done everyone who took part πŸ™‚

Elsewhere the triathlon season has kicked off in fine style with club-mates in action at Grantham Sprint Triathlon (Tracey Poole, Paul Rogerson & Nick Adams) , Peterborough Monster Mojo (Martin Gordon-Kerr) and Ironman 70.3 Mallorca (Dylan Bogg)!!!

Finally quick mention that tomorrow’s Wednesday night easy pace run has a change of venue for this week. Chris Jones and Clare Dorman will be leading a run round Exton. Meet at the Fox and Hounds in Exton for a 7:15pm start … and bring some money as they are planning to have post-run drinkies at the pub afterwards πŸ™‚ Check the Calendar for more details on club runs in the coming weeks.
