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

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
The Stragglers are again holding a series of 2km handicap races for juniors

details on the Surrey Athletics website:.
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.
1 S Overall (B&B) 30.20 (chip time 30.20)

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.
