2017 Club Championship #3: Thorney 10k

Sunday 26.March saw perfect spring weather conditions and the sun was shining for the latest round of this year’s Club Championship. There were 8 plucky club members that lined up for the start of The Thorney 10k. Sean McAullife (41:44) was once again first home for the club with David Summers (47:34) finishing in 2nd place just a few seconds ahead of first lady home Helen Duncan (47:47). Both Sean and Helen along with Jo Smith received trophies for being first in their respective age groups (brilliant).

The full results (in order of age-grade) were as follows:

Ladies

Men’s

From the Championship standpoint, that’s a clean sweep of wins for Sean as he continues to head up the Men’s table. Dave Summers is clear in 2nd place having run 2 races with Paul Rogerson in 3rd. Kate Howes continues to lead the Ladies championship table having run in each of the 3 races so far, with Helen Duncan and Jo Smith in 2nd and 3rd places respectively.

The next Championship race is one of the favourites of the club calendar – The Belvoir Half Marathon on Sunday 9th April. Details are on the calendar page … but I can confirm that postal and online registration is now closed but you will be able to register on race day starting at 8am (entries permitting).

2017 Club Championship #2: Clough/Taylor 10k

The National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham is reknowned for being in a rather exposed location weather-wise and even on a calm day there is always some breeze to be had. So last Sunday’s stiff breeze was always going to present a challenge to the competitors for the Clough/Taylor 10k that involved 2 laps of the Regatta lake and hitting a stiff head-wind at least twice.

We had 5 club mates taking part in the race that formed the 2nd race of this year’s Club Championship. First home for the men was Sean McAuliffe in 44:12 and looking at his Strava data you could tell when he was hitting the wind as his race-pace dropped. First home for the ladies was Kate Howes in 62:16 – well done everyone that took part 🙂

The full age graded results were:

Ladies

Men’s
