for the curry!
Brass Monkey Sunday 23 January
See the website later in the week for the post race
venue for Striders to meet.
Tuesday Training session 25 January – change of venue
Last Tuesday (11th) despite the outside
temperature being 2 degrees C, the track was too icy so we ran a hill session
at

PECO Race 5 – Sunday 6 March at Danefield on Otley Chevin
Valley Striders are co-hosting the race with
Airecentre Pacers.
The precise course is to be determined but will take
in some paths of the middle 2 miles of the Chevin Chase – 2 laps.
If you’re available to help set out the course on race
day please let me know. We will need you from 08:30 to 10:15 to set up
the junior and senior routes
If you won’t be running and are available to marshal
or help at the start / finish, please let me know. We will need you from
09:45 to 12:15.
Thanks in advance

Calderdale date – Sunday 8 May
Many of you have been keeping in touch with the
Halifax Harriers website (or even the Valley Striders website) and know that
the Calderdale Way Relay has been rescheduled to Sunday 8 May.
Unfortunately this clashes with the Leeds Half
Marathon, but perhaps there are not many Striders who would be keen to enter
both events.
So that we know how many teams to enter for the
revised date, could you please email a special email address [email protected] AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
Leeds Half & entry form – Sunday 8 May
Online entry has been available for some time at
Runners World, but if you prefer more traditional methods (and want to save
£2), then pick up an entry form (“printer-friendly format”) from www.leeds.gov.uk/runleeds
Last year, Striders were the biggest club, having 45
finishers. Considering the competition from Calderdale it would be good
to get to 45 again.
Meanwood Valley Trail date
Because of a prior booking at Leos, it is likely that
the Meanwood Valley Trail will be late May bank holiday Saturday – 28th.
This will mean that it will be Trail weekend with Apperley Bridge Canter on the
Thursday and Ilkley on the Sunday but hopefully this won’t detract from our
entry.
Please let me know if you are on holiday that week –
if there are a significant number of our experienced marshals away I may need
to look for an alternative date.
Yorkshire
Cross Championships were held on Sunday in the grounds of the
Despite
all this, for some reason I was the only Strider there.
Jonathan
Brownlee (World Junior Triathlon Champion) won the men's race quite
comfortably, with Hallamshire repeating last years team defeat of
Mens Race
(11k): 86
Parkrun results
We’ve had lots of parkrunners already this year, but
so far none have been entered on the performance database because for inclusion
you need to email [email protected]
to say you were wearing your club vest.

Peco Results
Didn’t we do well!
The men were first in the premier (i.e. first
division) and the women first in the first (i.e. second) division.
More good news. Horsforth were second men’s
team, relegating Abbey to third, so if we can win the last two races our men
will win the league, whatever position Abbey finish.
More good news. Striders women are now in the
lead for promotion, and I believe our points score in this race was better than
any of the premier league teams – a good sign for next year.
Great to see lots of Peco newbies, including Simon,
Rob, Dave, Holly and
I don’t have the vets positions, so check www.pecoxc.co.uk and click on “race 3”

Now, put 30 January and 6 March in your diaries.

Finally, this was for Grand Prix points. Can you
ladies remember which men you finished just ahead of or just behind, so that I
can get the correct sequence for G P points?
