Marshals Required
On Tuesday 24th
June, we’re hosting the Yorkshire Vets League at Leos. The race starts at
7:30pm and we need about 30 marshals, to meet at Leos at 6:50pm.
If you’re available
to help, please email [email protected] . If we have
sufficient marshals, then Valley Striders members will be able to run – if
you’d like to run, please mention this in your email. NB you need
not be a vet (over-35) to run, if you are under-35, you can run in the race as
a “guest”.
Football fans will
have noticed this is the same evening as England vs Costa Rica. We’ve
been negotiating with Sepp Blatter and he has kindly and conveniently arranged
the football match to start at 5pm (UK time). Leo’s will be open from
4:30pm so you can come early, watch the football (will finish at 6:50), and
then marshal (or run).
If you’re not
over-excited by the football, then please still come early and help us set out
the race route!

British Sprint Triathlon Championships 17th May – from Howard Jeffrey
The conditions for
racing yesterday morning were perfect and the venue was unmatchable. Clear blue
skies and sunshine not a breath of wind and a temperature of about 14 degrees
for my wave start. Dorney Lake for the swim within part of the grounds of Eton
College adjacent to the Thames in the rolling green fields around Windsor.
I believe the lake was
purpose built for the Olympics and it was laid out with race lanes as far as
the eye could see, was flat as a mill pond and a perfect temperature for
swimming. It felt great just approaching registration at a major event and it
could have been in Spain or Italy and I felt in good shape.
I had a steady swim
(without leaving my comfort zone) and was at one with the water for the 750m.
Had the usual tussle removing the wetsuit but am not alone in that. Hit the
bike leg hard on my TT bike and belted round flat traffic free superb tarmac
paths. All the merciless sessions on the turbo felt like they had paid off as I
was actually overtaking people rather than the other way round. 4 laps to make
up 20 K then the final 5K run. After pushing the bike it was no surprise that I
have had better runs (2 hilly half marathons within the last three weeks
probably also had some effect) still 21.33 saw me come in 5th place
(out of 13) in my age category.
Winner of the
category was Nigel Gates and for those in the know he is probably still one of,
if not the fastest runner in the world at that age. No slouch swimming or
biking either however he was 12 minutes ahead last month and yesterday ‘only’
9! To be in the top 3, I needed to be 3 minutes faster (you all know when you
are going as fast as you can 3 seconds is hard to find). Pushing the swim,
cutting some excess rubber of the wetsuit and a bit more running training and
continued bike efforts and I expect to get close. Well satisfied with finishing
at almost exactly mid point in the 600 field.
Have a go at
Triathlon, you know you want to!
