*** Member’s ONLY Enclosure ***
Runner of the Quarter
Firstly, thanks to all who submitted a nomination for the
Runner of the Quarter
award, from your comments it was clear everyone had recognised and
understood the criteria behind the award.
Many nominations reflected members appreciation of those in the club
who give their time for instance club coaches and captains, so a big
thanks from us all.
The majority of nominations were for individual performances
throughout the last quarter, for those in the club who may have
finished their first marathon (or even their 6th), members
who had significantly improved on their times, consistently turned out
to team events or encouraged others.
The Committee was happy to endorse the member’s successful nomination
by awarding
Carmel Ryan
the inaugural
Runner of the Quarter
trophy for her improved running over the last quarter and dedication
to training culminating in her New Forest marathon time - 44 minute PB
and recent 1st for age 5k. Carmel will automatically be
entered into the prestigious
Runner of the Year
Award to be presented at the next AGM 2011.
Well done Carmel, much deserved.
Just a little reminder, The
Runner of the Quarter
will be presented quarterly at other key dates in the Harriers’
calendar. There will be some flexibility around dates but the award
will culminate at the AGM with the
Runner of the Year
being awarded. All recipients of the previous year’s
Runner of the Quarter
and previous nominations will be considered, plus any new nominations.
The yearly award will again aim to reflect a variety of attributes
from individual achievement, coaching and/or work carried out on
behalf on the club throughout the preceding year.
Barry T
‘‘A HUGE thank you to anyone who nominated me for the
Runner of the Quarter,
I'm really taken aback, so kind of you. There are so many runners
achieving fantastic results at the moment and facing real challenges
along the way, that I feel really honoured to have picked this award
up this quarter. I'm sorry Wayne, I gather it was very close!! You're
young enough to have loads more chances and far too fast for your own
good!!
Once again thank you, and thank you for being a club that encourages
all the time, regardless of where you are in the pack. I felt just as
much support when I was at the back every week struggling as I do now
I'm feeling stronger and fitter. You're a great bunch of guys and
Littledown Harriers is far more than just running, it's fun and that's
why I do
it’’.

Report:
Picture t'scene, like in good old t' days, country lanes, boy on t'
bike, loaf of
t' Hovis…. then couple hundred louts come running past spoiling t'
tranquillity!
7 Harrier’s completed the race, it was a stunningly beautiful route
taking in the famous Gold Hill with the Mayor standing at the top in
full regalia, cloak, hat and ringing a bell as the running went past, as
if it were a warning that there were several more steep hills to follow!
|
Vicky Bishop lead the ladies back (5th female overall), followed
by Caroline Martin (12th lady), Naomi Bennett (15th lady) and
Hayley Deane (17th lady) - just. Mike Neal, Wayne Jelks-Walford
and I all finished for the men's team. Mike churned out yet
another good race, unfortunately cramp set in for poor Wayne half
way around, but he can still be proud of being the 3rd person to
the top of Gold Hill. It’s 10/12 towards the Fidelity Award for
both Mike and Naomi - with just Weymouth and Gillingham too.

Salisbury Half
Marathon 17.10.10
‘‘This
popular Half Marathon is one of several running events in a series in
the Salisbury, Wessex area. A scenic autumn run on quiet country roads
to the north of the Medieval City in the picturesque River Avon Valley,
overlooked by Old Sarum Castle and Hill Fort. The undulating course has
one short hill at 5 miles and a flat finish’’.
http://www.salisburyfirestation.info/
Report:
Some 11 Harriers ran the Salisbury half marathon yesterday. A lovely
sunny day, scenic route, hilly with a killer at 5 miles that went on
forever but there were some good downhill stretches as well. Post Gold
Hill it was painful but worth it! There seemed to be some discrepancy
between the categories of prizes offered and what they actually awarded
– there was a men’s, a ladies and a fire service team prize according to
the list. The team prize was awarded to us and I did ask if it was male
or female but was told it was the first 3 from a club (presumably of
either sex!). So we collected the prize on behalf of – we thought – the
guys, Wayne, Steve & David. BUT the first men’s team was
actually London Frontrunners and WE Kathy, Naomi & Heather were the
first ladies team – so sorry Guys – we want the teddy (already spoken
for) AND THE CUP!!!! He he he!!

Report:
Just wanted to say a very well done to the runners from last weekend,
particularly Ryan Ford for destroying his half marathon pb by 7 mins in
the Salisbury race. Also to Jon Elliott who I missed out from the week
before, who churned out another sharp half marathon in the Solent Race
1:25:54 on an unusually hot October day. Well done to the marathon
boys, Phil and Ade, and Barry who will be looking to get the hat trick
next weekend with his 3rd marathon in 3 weeks!

Beachy Head Marathon
24.10.10
‘‘The
Beachy Head Marathon is one the biggest off-road marathons in the
UK. Formerly known as the Seven Sisters
Marathon,
it is popular for its scenic and challenging route through the
South Downs National Park countryside’’.
Report:
The official results aren’t out yet, but I can confirm that Barry Light
finished his 4th marathon in as many weeks in 4hrs 33mins and I
jogged around in a respectable 5hrs 12 mins.
It’s an undulating/hilly course – altogether 3500 ft up and 3500 ft down
with no flat bits! The scenery is stunning and it’s definitely one to
enter if you fancy a change of scenery and a PW! The night before the
race was wild, wet and windy. I was in a B&B about 5 mins walk from the
start and Barry and Patsy were in their tent – I think I won that part.
Race day started with a strong breeze and there was a torrential
downpour about 2 mins before the start. The start is straight up to the
top of Beachy Head which was slippery in parts but not as bad as
anticipated. The route is well marshalled and the checkpoints provided a
good selection of drink and food (no alcohol though). There was enough
mud to warrant the trail shoes but the ground was generally very good.
The first half was quite windy but OK. After a nice downhill stretch to
about 17 miles the ascent started again, eventually leading to the Seven
Sisters. All the runners/joggers at my level were walking up and running
down. We finally made our way down to sea level to the final checkpoint
at 22.16 miles where I was pounced on by a ‘nice man’ who fetched me
water and a banana and made sure I was ready for the final 2 ascents.
The finish was spectacular. We had just had rain and were running down
the final hill when a rainbow appeared making a natural finish line at
the bottom of the hill.
I think Barry was disappointed as he felt a bit weary after the build up
of the last 4 weeks. I think he’s a superstar and wish him luck in
Snowdonia next week, when the ups are longer and higher but luckily less
of them. No doubt he will have lots of tales to tell in the bar. -

Great South 10m Run
24.10.10
Report:
WoooWeee, PB City! Near on perfect conditions, flat course, cool but
sunny weather, hardly any wind, and great crowds cheering all the way
around!
Some great performances - Most notably Jim Cowdroy who broke the 70 min
barrier for the first time. Well done to all my other fellow Harriers
too. A Great day all round. (* It looks like they’ve added a dozen
seconds or so to our times in the official results, was this the same
for everyone else?).
(Yes)
I also had the pleasure of sharing the journey to and from Portsmouth
with the decorum, and sophisticated rhetoric from my travelling
companions Messrs Pugh and Ford. The level of statistical knowledge,
analysis, and commentary provided from the pair of pundits, was so
extraordinarily immense and precise, that when fuelled with even more
race facts on figures following the completion of the race, my return
voyage with them filled me with such joy and excitement that when I was
back at home I just had to celebrate with a well deserved chilled
beverage and nurafen. Gentlemen your mastermind knowledge of ‘Road race
results in Southern England, 2003 to present date’ is … disturbing
