Meanwood Recce
runs
Thanks to everyone who ran last week, I hope you
enjoyed your run through the mud down the Trail.
We have another brief recce run this coming
Tuesday, anyone interested in running the Junior Race route (1 mile), come along
for 6:30 and we'll do this before going on to run the 3 by 10 minute session at
Eccup Res
Meanwood
Marshals
A full list of marshals, their positions
and meeting times is at the end of this email. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so
far. (If you have volunteered and I've missed you off
the list, please let me know!) (If you're on my list and not available,
also let me know!)
We still need about 6 more
marshals. This will give us contingency such that should an accident
occur one person will be able to help the injured person while marshalling of
the runners can continue
We also need 3 more to help lay out the
course from 08:00 - this will be as assistant to one of the section
leaders. Help is needed
- 1 for Eric Cusack between the Ring Road
and Seven Arches
- 2 for Paul Hunter / Julian Bhowmick /
Mick Tinker / Eric Green to layout the area around Leos.
Marshals will be provided with
- yellow jackets
- a map (quite small, bring
glasses if necessary! or download your section from the
website)
- information sheet to read and/or hand out
to spectators
- phone numbers in case of
emergency
- estimated time of arrival of first
runner
Please bring your mobile phone (if you have
one), also bring welly boots or walking boots if you are
marshalling between Leos and the Ring Road.
NB marshals allocated to Meanwood Park will
be meeting at the north end of the park (near Parkside Road) but if possible
should park the Meanwood end and walk through to reduce the number of cars near
the road crossing.
Baildon Boundary
Way
Conditions were boggy to put it mildly. At
the end of the race, there was a longer queue to wash shoes under the tap than
there was for the T shirts.

South Leeds 5 (March
25)
Peter Lambert ran 38:06 to win the MV70+ category
by a clear 8 minutes. Mick Helm the race organiser had given him race
number 70.
In the younger age categories, Peter Johnson was
first MV55-59 in 30:08 and in the process beat all the MV50's too. He was
22nd overall. It was quite close as the next MV55's were 9 seconds and 23
seconds behind. 4th MV55 in 33:13 was Terry Lonergan, and 8th MV55 in
36:28 was Tony Haygarth.
There was one other Strider who started - this
was Joyce the Voice Lambert who was the official starter for the
race!
Room to let (message from Sam and
Mary Harris)
Me and my mum are both going to have to pull out
of London I'm still not feeling great and am doing very little
running at the moment and my mum is still injured. Before we cancel the
hotel we have booked I want to check that no one else wants it. Could
you mention it on the next VS email or mention it to anyone you know who might
still need accommodation the night before London. The details are
- Holiday Inn Express in Greenwich
- £50 each for twin bedded room with shower including breakfast
- Walking distance from the start.
I believe this just leaves Jules representing
Striders on the Championship women start (i.e. 9a.m.) but we will also be
supporting Alison Bogie who also has to get up early for this
start.
