Vets Race this coming Tuesday
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to
marshal. Please turn up at Leos at 6:30. Please could a few arrive
a bit earlier to help organise car parking. If you’re going to be a bit
later than that, email me or phone 0777 5898 558 on the night so we know you’re
coming!
A few more marshals are still needed, please email me
if you are available. Free sandwiches!
Pulse Race - Race Director’s Report (from Mick Tinker)
Many thanks
to all who helped out at Sunday's Pulse Race in
Entry
numbers were up on last year so hopefully more money will have been raised for
BHF (£6000+ last year) and of course the weather played it's part being a
red hot day - great for helpers and marshals but gruelling for the runners.
10K
entrants were over 300 with 259 finishers. 5K entrants were towards
the 400 mark with 323 finishers.
The 10K

Several Striders have been getting up early on a
Saturday morning for these races. Here are the results of the most recent
races. You need to register in advance (you only need to do this once),
then turn up about 8:50 at the corner of Woodhouse Moor nearest to the University.
There are typically 100 runners in each race. Run! (the route is
marshalled). Collect a disc as you cross the line, hand it in to the girl
on the computer and tell her your name. Go and do the shopping, mow the
lawn, whatever, you’ve still most of Saturday free. The results will be
out on Saturday evening and you will receive a personalised email with your
position and time (and, if you’ve run before, whether you’ve improved your PB).

Two fell race results from Anthony Fryer
Two
Striders at Duddon Valley Fell race Great race, bloody hot and my legs were
aching badly on Tuesday. Rob Bumstead did 4.11 I think and I came home in a
quite slow 4.20.
Also
massive Fell turnout at Otley Chevin race, 5 striders! Steve Webb 1st strider,
me 2nd, Eirik 3rd
Brief
report from
This year
that meant the best part of 18 miles into a headwind that topped 30 mph at
times - the elite runners reckoned it added 5+ minutes to their times. Don't
know what effect it had on mine as I was running faster than I'd ever done
before over that distance. The course is pretty flat overall and fast, but the
drinks stations were pretty shambolic, the mile markers (when you could see
them) not always as reliably spaced as you might expect, and the post race
scrum a touch disappointing. But it was brilliantly supported, and for that I
was very grateful.
Reassuringly
I passed Captain
An
excellent day was rounded off in
P.S. (from Bob), there was another Strider here who
John didn’t recognise – please let me know who you were (the search facility on
