SURREY ROAD LEAGUE
The Wimbledon 5km was also the final race in the Surrey Road League and our
women's team held on to take the team title by a clear four points from
Elmbridge and South London. This was all the more pleasing for being
unexpected and congratulations go to all who contributed to the excellent
result. Clapham Chasers were very comfortable winners of the men's League
but the Ranelagh squad held on to second place.
Our only podium finisher in the individual competitions was Heather
Martingell who took the silver medal in the W45 category. However, there
were a few near-misses: Ted Mockett and Peter Faull 6th and 8th respectively
in the senior men, Trevor Maguire and Stewart Anderson 4th and 8th in the
M40s, Paul Rider 4th in the M50s, Phil Jackson, Peter Fordham, Alan Meaden
and David Meaden 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th in the M60s and Hannah Doyle 5th in
the W35s.

OPENING RUN and THOMAS CUP 3.8 miles Handicap
The Opening Run of our 133rd season will take place on Saturday 7th
September, beginning as usual with the annual club photo at about 2.45pm and
continuing with the 4 miles handicap for the Thomas Cup. All members are
welcome, but if you haven't paid your 2013/14 subscriptions yet please do so
before the 7th. Details:.
Note there will be an amendment to the course this year. The Park Manager
has requested that we completely avoid the skylark breeding area near the
Pen Ponds and so there will be a change to the route between the back of
Spanker's Hill to the Ponds.
CABBAGE PATCH 10 miles Sunday 20th October in Twickenham
The popular Cabbage Patch 10 has already attracted well over a thousand
entries so if you're planning to run you should not delay. Details:. Bear in mind,
however, that this year there is an unfortunate clash with the Surrey
Cross-Country League - the opening League fixture takes place the day
before, the men at Wimbledon and the women at Lightwater.
BUILDING FUND DRAW
Our Building Fund Draw is to be discontinued for the time being. If you have
a standing order paying for your entry, please cancel it.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
MABAC LEAGUE 5 miles Tuesday 6th August
Bev Ali reports:
"There was a huge field at the start for the Wimbledon MABAC! It was held
on a Tuesday evening as usual, which always encourages Ranelagh runners to
participate. The start was re-designed to minimise the bottleneck at a wee
bridge early in the route, the weather was perfect, and there was a real
feast laid on by Wimbledon Windmilers in the lovely new Wimbledon Rugby Club
facilities after the run. Personally, even injured as I am, I do not think
I should have taken 40 minutes to cover 2.5 miles, so I suspect the
measurements may have been a little approximate. I did really enjoy doing
one lap without having to worry about making the timekeepers wait for me or
about it getting dark, and it was definitely far enough for my gimpy knee.
The speed with which I was lapped would indicate that there were some really
fast runners leading the pack home. We had some Ranelagh first timers who
seemed to be suitably impressed with the MABAC ethos, and a core group of
beginners course graduates as well. All told it was very successful MABAC -
congratulations and thanks to the Windmilers."

PERSEVERANCE WIMBLEDON DASH 5km Sunday 11th August at Wimbledon Park
The Wimbledon Dash 5km, starting and finishing on the track at Wimbledon
Park, provided the climax to the Surrey Road League and our own Road Grand
Prix.
Our men's and women's teams both had everything to run for - particularly
the women, who after finishing first team at the Elmbridge 10km had quite
unexpectedly found themselves five points clear in the lead. It wasn't cut
and dried though - three other clubs could all theoretically overhaul us,
but calculations suggested that if we could finish at worst third today we
could not be caught. And, reader, we did it! Clapham Chasers won on the day
but they were not in contention overall. Becky Hall, Marie Synnott-Wells and
Michelle Davies rose to the occasion and secured second place, giving us the
League title by four points from Elmbridge and SLH.
For the men, Clapham Chasers already had the title sewn up. Indeed, their
win today was their fifth out of the seven races, and with the best five
scores to count they amassed the maximum score possible. Our task was to
hold off Tadworth AC for second place. Tadworth have been relegated to
Division Three of the Surrey Cross-Country League but they are a different
kettle of fish altogether on the roads. We finished only fourth today but on
this occasion Tadworth were under-strength and could do no better than
eighth. The result was that we held on to second place by a single point.
Our first finisher today was Carl Selya-Hammer, who inflicted a rare defeat
on our new Captain Phil Killigley - Phil presumably suffering the sleepless
nights of new fatherhood! Trevor Maguire closed in our scoring team but Mark
Herbert and Peter Faull were not far behind.
Heather Martingell was our only prize-winner in the League individual
competitions, winning the silver medal in the W45 class. Heather, Trevor
Maguire, Peter Faull and Phil Jackson were the only Ranelagh members to
complete all seven League races.
RATCHFORD RELAY Tuesday 20th August in Richmond Park
There was a great turnout of nearly forty runners for the women-only
Ratchford Relay. Thirteen teams started, each consisting of one 'fast', one
'medium' and one 'slow' - though as always in this kind of event the
classifications were somewhat blurred at the edges!
Anna Scally takes up the story:
"I always look fondly on the Ratchford Relay as a great opportunity to be
able to run, race and get to know better the female club members who fill
the clubhouse on a Tuesday night, so having persuaded John that putting two
kids to bed on your own is child's play (!!), I jumped at the opportunity to
be able to run this year. Whilst I have been running a bit recently and am
starting to feel fit again, I was a little concerned when Ken and Frances
decided that I would be the fast runner in my team... but hey it is only
three laps, how hard could that be?!?! Cindy had done a great job of
marking out the course, which was exactly 0.62miles or 1km this year, so
after a warm up lap, we 'fast' runners lined up to go! I was in a team with
Natalia and Eleanor, both graduates from this year's running course and both
in fine form, so not wanting to let them down, and with the competitive
blood back pumping in my veins I set off at pace that my legs are not
accustomed to and my lungs even less so! With the competition breathing
down my neck and then in front (great running Gwen), I completed the first
of my three laps and handed over to Natalia to start the chase! Now as many
of you will know, there are many different combinations as to how to run the
Ratchford Relays (Fast; Medium; Slow; Fast; Medium; Fast / FSFMFM etc) which
means that you never really know who is going to win until the first person
crosses the winning line. We had opted for the F,M,F,S,M,F combination
which meant that by the time I handed over to Eleanor after my second loop,
she was running against a mixture of every speed, but she ran valiantly and
handed over to Natalia in a strong position, with a few to chase down. And
chase down she did handing back to me with Amy Breakell only about twenty
seconds ahead... could this be the year I am finally in the winning team?!?!
But despite my lungs wanting to burst and my legs pack up and go home, Amy
was just too strong for me to catch, so congratulations to the winning team
of Amy Breakell, Ellen Clague and Beverly Walsh, you ran a great race and
were deserving victors! Finally I would like to say thank you to everyone
who made my return to the club after too long so welcoming, it was great to
see so many old faces and to meet some of the new members, there is some
great talent out there and it would be great to run with you all again
soon!"
Newcomer Gwen McCormack was responsible for three of the four fastest times
with 3.38 on the opener and then two 3.44s. Anna, Amy and Amii Cleary were
others in the sub-4 club, but they were joined there by the very young Lydia
Louw who ran a very impressive 4.04 on lap 4 and followed that up with an
amazing 3.57 on the final stage. Very well done to Lydia and fellow juniors
Livvy and Juliet Ricketts.

IRONMAN UK 2013 Sunday 4th August at Bolton
David Rowe reports:
"I normally write huge race reports for my website and this race is no
exception. If you want all 8,500+ words (yes, that many) together with
photos then please have a look here:. For the abridged version,
please read on.
I entered Ironman UK late in 2012 with the plan being to 'have a look'
around the course and see if I like the race. If so then I'd step up my
triathlon training into a much more focussed effort with the aim of going
back to Bolton in perhaps 2014 and attempting to finish well in my age group
(40-44) and maybe trying to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. This was the overall plan.
Race morning... One and a half tins of rice pudding and a coffee was
breakfast, then into my wetsuit for the 2.4 mile swim in Pennington Flash. I
ticked that off in 1 hour and 15 seconds. A big PB for me although it
appears that the swim was probably 100m or so short. Never mind, we're all
racing the same course that day. I was 115th at this point and 15th in my
age group. After a quick transition I was onto the bike for the 112 mile
ride.
I had a great ride, the support was fantastic and I felt strong throughout.
I religiously kept my nutrition going in (energy gel after gel after gel
every 20 minutes without fail) and found myself slowly moving up the field.
I'd planned to 'smash' the bike and work really hard (much harder than
before) and be prepared to have a nightmare of a run at the end. It's all a
learning experience and this wasn't my 'A race'. 5 hours 27 minutes later I
was off the bike and putting my running shoes on ready for the 26.2 mile
marathon to finish things (and me!) off. I'd moved up to 34th overall and
was now 1st in my age group. I had absolutely no idea that I was doing this
well. I thought maybe 10-15 in my age group would be how I'd fare if I had
a perfectly executed race.
I started the run and I got overtaken by some people in my age group after
only a few miles - I thought to myself 'I must learn to run faster.' I
settled into a pace (a little under 8 minute miling) and just stuck to it.
Energy gels, sports drink and water were consumed whenever I could lay my
hands on any and I just ticked off the miles. I didn't realise until after
the race that at the 12.6k timing mat (yes, they always seem to be at
strange places) I was 3rd and the top five in my age group were separated by
only 43 seconds. Once again I had no idea.
I pushed on and at about 20 miles I felt strong enough to push harder. I
fought the pain, leaving everything on the course to do the best I could.
Slowly I drifted up through the field as others were fading or not running
as quickly as I was in the final miles (around 7:18 miling for the last 6
miles). I crossed the finish line in 9 hours 59 minutes and 55 seconds.
This was a big PB for me, especially on a tough course. My marathon time
was 3:26:30. I finished 27th overall (there were 11 'professionals' ahead of
me) and lo and behold 1st in my age group! I was in shock. Absolute shock.
I had no idea during the race how well I was doing (read the blog linked
above for much more about this).
Well, finishing 1st in my age group now qualifies me for the Ironman World
Championships in Hawaii this coming October (yes, in only a few weeks time)
and I'm currently booking flights and accommodation to take part in this
amazing race. I've dreamt of one day taking part in the race. Every year I
stay up all night and watch the online video stream of the event. This year
I'll be on the start line. I cannot believe it!"

GOOD RUN GUIDE WIMBLEDON COMMON ADVENTURE 4 miles Wednesday 14th August
Andy Bix and Louise Piears put on their first race under the Good Run Guide
banner on what turned out to be a damp evening on Wimbledon Common. The
route was an abbreviated version of Thames's old course, taking in most of
the best bits of the Common - Beverly Brook, the Toast Rack, the Windmill,
Queensmere and the Butts. All it lacked was the water splash through the
Brook!
A couple of Army types soon got away leaving Trevor Maguire in an isolated
3rd place which he occupied to the finish, also taking the first over 40
medal. In 16th place Sonia Rowland was leading over 45 and over 55.

FINALLY...
This one is obviously doing the rounds: Pete Mulholland found it in the
Striders of Croydon club magazine.
"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this column misstated
the average pace at which women in the University of Exeter study were able
to run after 10 weeks of training. Most were able to run for 30 minutes at a
pace of about 12 or 13 minutes per mile -- not 12 or 13 miles per minute."
