 Entries are coming in steadily for our 10km, which as usual incorporates the
 Surrey county championship. It also forms part of the Surrey Road League and
 of course our own Grand Prix. Over 350 entries have been received so far, so
 it's quite possible the entry limit of 700 might be reached. Over 50 of you
 have already got your entries in, but anyone else planning to run should not
 delay.  Details:.    

 SUMMER PARK SPECIAL FROM JUNE TO AUGUST
 Wiebke Kortum writes:
 "After having had such a good time coaching Deepa and Annemarie in the last
 year, and with my UK Athletics Coach assessment coming up this summer, I now
 want to offer a guided Richmond Park run to runners who are ability-wise at
 the slower end of our Intermediate 2 group and the faster end of the
 Intermediate 3 group (between 32.5 minutes parkrun and 27.5 minutes). Runs
 will be every Thursday at 7pm for three months, from June to August, meeting
 point is Ham Gate (there are toilets and limited parking, bus station for
 the 65 is 800 m away). We will run a distance of between 8 and 10k and
 always incorporate a SHORT speed or strength element. Interested runners
 please contact me at wiebke.kortum@gmail.com. There are no fees, and the
 first run will be on Thursday 5th June."

 NEIL'S BIRTHDAY WOBBLE
 Neil Walford writes:
 "I'm celebrating my 50th birthday on Saturday 21st June. We'll meet at the
 clubhouse at 3pm for a 7 miles lap of the Park (old Wednesday night run)
 followed by showers etc before heading to the Roebuck at 5ish for beers
 followed probably by The Ship, The Cricketers and The Triple Crown (details
 of later pubs to be confirmed by Andy Bicksieboo). Any Ranelagh people past
 and present welcome to either beers and/or run."

 ANDY'S WIMBLEDON ADVENTURE RACE(S)
  Andy Bickerstaff writes:
 "After the 'ahem' success of last year's race on Wimbledon Common (well the
 40 that ran it seemed to have a good time, despite the worst weather of an
 otherwise glorious summer), in a mad moment I thought it would be a good
 idea to do it again only bigger and even better! There are now three races
 of 5, 5 and 8ish miles still featuring one of my favourite routes along
 Beverley Brook and up the 'Toast Rack' with the infamous Rifle Butts thrown
 in for good measure. A bit of negotiation with the conservators means all
 three races now have a more scenic start at the Windmill. The races are all
 on Wednesday evenings. The first has already taken place (see results
 below), the other two are on June 11th and July 9th. It would be good to see
 a few of you there. Details are here:. Of course I always need
 marshals etc, and if you can help that would be great. Mail me at
 andy.bickerstaff@goodrunguide.co.uk."

 STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES

 GILL SANDERS...
 ...was in action again on 17th May at the latest round of the Triathlon
 World Cup in Yokohama, Japan. After leaving the water a full minute or more
 off the pace, Gill worked hard to regain contact with the leading group
 during the bike section and then finished with a very strong 35.14 10km run
 which saw her pick off one athlete after another. She finally finished 10th
 just five seconds behind Britain's World Cup leader Jodie Stimpson who had
 suffered a heavy fall during the bike-run transition.

 MSc ALTITUDE TRAINING STUDY
 Chelsea Golden writes:
 "I am a Masters student at St. Mary's University in Applied Sport and
 Exercise Physiology. I am writing to ask if anyone in your running club
 would have an interest in participating in my dissertation study. The aim of
 my study is to determine if training at a low or high altitude for three
 weeks will be an effective mode of improving performance and fitness. 

 To participate in the study, male and female athletes are required to be
 trained runners between 18-34 years old. You will be required to attend St.
 Mary's University for all testing sessions. You will come to the lab a
 couple days prior to the training program to complete an incremental
 exercise test, VO2 max test, and time trial. The training programme will
 consist of running in a normobaric hypoxic chamber at low or high altitude
 for 45 minutes. This will occur three times a week for three weeks. Once the
 training program is complete, you will attend St. Mary's University a final
 time to perform the incremental exercise test, VO2 max test, and time trial.

 If you choose to participate, I will provide you with a profile of your
 fitness and a physiological assessment (i.e. lactate threshold, lactate turn
 point, running economy, VO2max etc.).  You will also receive three weeks of
 FREE altitude training. You are also free to withdraw from the study at any
 time.

 If you are interested in participating, or have any further questions
 regarding the study, please feel free to send me an email at anytime:
 134243@live.smuc.ac.uk."

 SPORTING FEET
 Sporting Feet in King Street, Richmond, has a special offer under way until
 15th June. Dominic Stead writes:
 "It's buy one item of running clothing and get another one at half price!
 So for all Ranelagh members that is 10% off the first item too! We have some
 really nice new summer clothes at the moment from adidas, asics and Ron
 Hill."

 THOMAS CUP
 Current holder of the Thomas Cup, John Ricketts, points out that Thursday
 22nd May was the 125th anniversary of Sid Thomas winning his Cup in a ten
 miles match race against Edward Parry at Old Trafford, Manchester. He
 donated it to the club the following year, 1890.

 WHAT'S HAPPENED
 ***************
 SUTTON 10km  Sunday 11th May
 The Sutton 10km never attracts a huge turnout from Ranelagh, even though the
 new course - in and around Nonsuch Park - is a good deal more attractive
 than the old. It features in the Surrey Road League, but it's usually one of
 the scores we discard at the end of the season - the best four scores out of
 six races to count this year. We were slightly better represented in the
 2014 race, however, and our men's and women's teams both finished in 5th
 place. This leaves the men still at the top of the table after two races,
 and the women second to Clapham Chasers. Paul Doyle led Nick Twomey and Ted
 Mockett inside 37 minutes, and Paul's 4th place in the M40 class - though
 outside the prizes - was sufficient to secure him top spot in the M40 League
 table. Marie Synnott-Wells - who was the third W45 home - led our women's
 team which also included Juliet Edwards and an unwell Becky Hall.

 Others whose League points today put them into the top six in their
 respective categories include Nick Twomey, Paul Rider, Stephen Logue and
 Alan and David Meaden.


 GREEN BELT RELAY  Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May
 On a very warm weekend the Green Belt Relay was as enjoyable as ever and all
 credit to Stragglers for their excellent organisation. Credit too to
 Michelle Davies for organising our teams. We started one and a bit teams -
 the Bs being unfortunately a few runners short. Cut-off times were used
 where a team had no runner on a stage. Surprisingly this applied to 9 of the
 33 teams taking part.

 Our first team was well ensconced in midfield for most of the race and
 finished up in 16th place, while our second team was 30th. However, we did
 manage to pick up a handful of the coveted stage winner t-shirts: Michelle
 Davies on stage 1, Anna Scally on stage 2, Mark Herbert on stage 12 and Nick
 Twomey on the "glory" final stage to the Hawker Centre. 

 Organiser Michelle writes:
 "It was a lot of work but well worth it in the end and I would do it again -
 it will be far easier now I have one under my belt and a spread sheet or
 list for everything! It was great - plenty of banter and some excellent one
 liners from Vaughan. Some seasoned runners and some GBR virgins. All said
 they would do it again and, despite vowing I wouldn't, I would happily
 coordinate again. The thing I would like to push is how much team spirit
 this weekend helps to create, people got to make friends with people they
 never get to talk to (fast group runners with slow group runners etc.). The
 date for next year is not up but it will be the third weekend or last
 weekend of May so if people are interested please can they email me to let
 me know michelle.davies@richmond.gov.uk." 

 This week's Richmond and Twickenham Times has a good spread on the race
 including photos of Michelle and the Ranelagh team.
 
 
 THAMES PATH 100 miles Monday 5th May Richmond to Oxford
 No detailed report yet, but Simon Martin and Colin Brett both put in amazing
 performances to finish well up in a field of 227 starters, of whom 147
 finished inside the 28 hours limit.

 This comes from the race website:
 "In 2012 and 2013, the Thames Path 100 was fated with appalling conditions
 at some stage of each race. Traditionally taking place in March, we made the
 call after excessive flooding over countless weeks and months, to shift the
 event to the first bank holiday in May and finally we were blessed with
 almost perfect running conditions for the third edition of the event. 227
 runners registered early Saturday morning in Richmond-Upon-Thames, all with
 the dream of making it to Oxford in under 28 hours. The Thames Path 100 is a
 deceptive race. Looking at the course profile, with under 2000ft of climbing
 for the duration, it's easy to see a blazing fast course. But covering 100
 miles on foot is a challenge of enormous proportions at any time." 

 This was Simon's day. He and Colin ran the first 20-odd miles together in
 around 60th place but then Simon began to forge ahead and steadily worked
 his way through the field to 17th at the finish in a great sub-20 hours
 time. Colin finished a couple of hours down in a highly creditable 46th
 place.

 GDYNIA and GDANSK parkruns  Saturday 10th May
 Alan Davidson reports:
 "The Polish trip was superb. I went from Luton at 1500 so arrived (on time)
 but in the evening (+ one hour). On Saturday at 8am (7am our time) was the
 Gdynia parkrun mainly on a pleasant prom by the Baltic (swapped the Solent
 for a different sea!) then whisked by 30 minute taxi ride to a park a few
 miles out of Gdansk centre for the 10am parkrun in very pleasant
 surroundings. Then taxi to a station back to Gdynia for lunch then I caught
 a train to Gdansk - every train very long but packed like the tube in rush
 hour...I did manage to get a seat on one but being a bare metal one it was
 somewhat less than comfortable!. Gdansk had a huge number of striking
 buildings of a variety of styles but the odd thing is that because of the
 German occupation the allies/Russians bombed most of the centre flat so it
 has been reconstructed in the original style. Next day we had a boat trip to
 the Hel peninsula. The quay at Gdynia had a destroyer of the Polish navy now
 a museum but it was built in Cowes and spent the war based in Britain
 joining our ships going with the Baltic convoys. The walk at Hel was
 attractive but involved some miles of loose sandy beach then forest trail. I
 later did a similar walk from Gdynia just to wear myself out further!" 

 BRISTOL 10km  Sunday 11th May
 Richard Gregory made his 2014 road debut but in a very high class race found
 33.38 only good enough for 43rd place.

 WIMBLEDON ADVENTURE RACE 1   5 miles  Wednesday 14th May on Wimbledon Common
 This was the first of three mid-week events being organised by Andy
 Bickerstaff and the Good Run Guide. 75 runners tackled something not too
 dissimilar to Thames's mob match course. Anyone hoping that Thames's
 notorious "butts" would have dried up by May was sadly disappointed. Recent
 showers had ensured there would be enough mud and puddles to keep Andy
 happy. Our contingent fared pretty well - Mark Hebert was third overall, and
 Megan De Silva won the women's race by just four seconds with Marie
 Synnott-Wells in third place. Marie was also the first W45, Sonia Rowland
 was first W55 and Gordon Whitson was first M60.

 "Something wrong with the last statistic. If correct it would mean that, on
