WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
DORKING 10 miles Sunday 1st June
Phil Killingley writes:
"An excellent Dorking 10 miles took place on Sunday, in warm but breezy
conditions. Running under clear skies along windy roads beneath the North
Downs has to be one of the better road racing experiences, though those not
expecting the hills in the last third of the race may beg to differ.
Congratulations in particular to Lauren and Megan for finishing 2nd and 4th
lady respectively. Rick Jenner had a stormer for the men, and was our second
scorer, with Ian Kenton and your captain completing our scoring. Club statto
Ken Powley awarded Rick a 75.1% age graded score for his efforts - by some
way Rick's best run for the club. Duncan Mallison also pb'ed in percentage
terms with 71.8% - well done!" Lauren, Megan and Ellen Clague combined to
take third place in the women's team event and the county championship.
A few Facebook comments:
Megan De Silva: "I was 4th in the end. I was overtaken by a lady who kicked
at about 8/9 miles and I couldn't match her lightning pace."
Ellen Clague: "Lots of hills but lovely countryside. Thank goodness for the
shady tree tunnel!"
Ted Mockett: "Terrible!"
There's a movie of the race on Youtube which includes, amongst other things,
a short interview with Bill Neely. Video:.

THAMES PATH 100 miles Saturday 3rd May Richmond to Oxford
Results were in the last e-news. Here is Colin Brett's account:
"100 miles - what would it be like to run that far? I mean, a marathon has
reduced me to a wobbling wreck before now, so to run four back to back seems
unfathomable, but others have done it so it must be possible. My longest
continuous run to date had been 55 miles on the longest day of the 2013
Marathon Des Sables and that was very hard, but my ' finest hour' in a 15
minute running career!
May 3rd was a bright sunny morning, 15 degrees and perfect running
conditions. The start area on the steps just before Richmond Bridge was
buzzing with nervous anticipation. I had lots of family and friends to see
me off along with 226 other competitors who in reality become comrades in a
battle against distance, time and the course.
The first 20 miles went by with ease. I was running along chatting with
Simon Martin (Ranelagh) and Jez who I'd met in the Sahara as you do! I
nearly ended up in the river somewhere just before Staines as a massive
cheer of 'GO RANELAGH' came from Michele standing on a chair waving a RH
running vest from her back garden. Martin then joined us for a morale
boosting km as he'd been supporting another runner. Jez and Simon were both
looking strong and had run 100's before and I needed to stick to my own race
plan as a 100 mile virgin. I was quite pleased to see them pull away into
the distance somewhere around Windsor and to get into my own space. My race
goals were to finish within the 28hr limit but I really wanted to get under
24 hours as this would mean the belt buckle you receive on completion
instead of reading 100 miles would read 100 miles in 1 day. You're runners,
you know these things matter!!
I put my headphones on. My family Kaye, Tor and Noah had spent lots of time
filling my playlist which veered all over the place and kept a smile on my
face. This carried me along to my first goal which was Henley and the 51mile
aid station where there would be a hot meal (could not face it!) and more
importantly David my crew chief and Robert my first pacer. I very quickly
got cold and started shivering, Dave helped me into a new thermal top and
mid layer for the night, head torch was readied and I got a pint of milk in
me.
I'd fuelled up all day on coke (never usually touch the stuff), bananas,
watermelons, peanut butter sandwiches, sausage rolls, oranges and the odd
gel which all seemed to do the job as I was still running. It was a big lift
to be running along with Rob and later with Simon #2. Both are great company
and good ultra runners in their own rights and I felt very humbled when each
agreed to pace me 25 miles through the night. Rob and I ploughed on into the
night and the aid stations often came up quicker than I'd anticipated - they
were now down to 6 - 7 miles apart. We ran through Reading sometime before
midnight in the midst of a Beer and Cider festival, tempting, but no, on we
went. The crews at the aid stations were fantastic, filling bottles and
making hot drinks.
Running was now being interspersed with marching breaks and the track was
muddy and wet. We somehow missed a turn and had to track parallel to the
Thames Path for a couple of miles but were anxious to get back on track
before the next check point. We got soaked crossing a field of rape seed and
could make out the Thames on the other side of a large drainage ditch. Rob
launched himself across dragging only one foot into the water. I'd been
running now for 65 miles and launch mode wasn't an option, it was wade
through or take a massive diversion. Or so you'd think! This is when you
know you have good friends. Rob could probably read the distress on my face
and said 'Don't worry I'll make a bridge'. I now looked confused, not
difficult! He jumped into the ditch in water up to his nether regions, bent
over and instructed me to walk across his back, We were bloodied, mudded and
bruised and laughing our socks off as we came into the next check point. It
was 2am
We had five miles to the point where Dave was making us all sausage sarnies
and tea. Rob would drop me and Simon #2 would take over pacing duties. We
got to within a mile when I slipped on the ever muddier track and ended up
wallowing in a 4 inch deep puddle unable to get up as my muscles went into
spasm, fairly humiliating, Rob got me up and I managed to stumble to our
meeting point. It was a lovely surprise to see my wife, nephew and sister in
law along with Dave and Simon waiting - shame I looked like a swamp monster!
I seriously couldn't have got more mud on me, I was soaked and it was now
very cold - 2 degrees. They were all a bit concerned about how I looked and
sounded (slurring and not making too much sense apparently) but inside I
was still feeling strong. I got another layer on, had the best sausage
sandwich imaginable, had a hot drink and headed out with Simon at 3am to run
another marathon.
Simon was the perfect pacer, happy to chat to me and not get much response.
He ran on, opened gates, took full responsibility for navigation and rations
at each of the aid stations and as he was an A&E doctor I felt in safe
hands. All I had to do was put one foot in front of the other which I did
with increasing difficulty. The walk/march breaks were getting longer and my
knee was hurting more than the rest of me and starting to swell.
The sun came up and head torches were happily removed, Simon kept confirming
we would smash 24 hours and I started to believe him. The last aid station
came into sight and I enjoyed the most amazing coffee infused chocolate
brownie before setting off determined to run all of the last five miles. My
knee by now was squelching and the pain quite extraordinary but the end was
in sight and nothing was going to stop me. My final time was 22 hours 1
minute 10 seconds. The joy and relief of finishing was immense but the pain
was to get worse before it got better. The drive back from Oxford was
torture and the look on my kids' faces when they saw me told me I had pushed
to my limits as I was carried from the car!
Of 227 starters 146 finished I was 46th. Simon Martin had a fantastic run
breaking 20 hours and finished 17th . We both got our 100 Miles in 1 day
buckle and beat the course - happy knackered runners. For me the best thing
was just the affirmation of knowing I have an amazing family and friends who
were prepared to support me."

STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP Thursday 22nd May at the Hawker Centre
Colin Brett reports:
"Unlike the seniors' scoring system, more points are good in the junior
handicap series and our group of youngsters continue to do us proud. It was
a dark stormy evening but the rain held off as did a lot of voters in the
European elections which were also being held at the same venue. Luckily
our squad has grown this year as half term, exams, growing pains etc meant
half the team from race 1 couldn't make it but those that couldn't make race
1 were keen to do well, and they did! Josie Kearey ran a massive pb to be
first girl and Oliver Beal followed in his brother's footsteps from race one
to be first boy finisher. Lydia Louw ran yet another pb to be fastest
finisher overall. Luke Maguire, Tor Heron-Brett, Emily Kearey, Mathew Beal,
Arthur Louw, Charlie & Johnny Brook all put in really strong performances
and contributed to a fantastic team effort."

SURREY COUNTY MASTERS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 31st May at Ewell
Paul Doyle writes:
"I'm slightly annoyed there was a clash with the Dorking 10, but I'm long
overdue a Surrey medal so I decided to opt for the track where the pickings
are a lot easier than the road. I had a fairly comfortable win in the 1500m
in a low quality field (4.44). There was a good runner from Camberley who
romped away with the 5000m. I ran OK for 2nd place (17:11) and Trevor ran
well for 3rd M45 and a new PB."

This was a St Mary's Richmond track fixture, but it saw the welcome return
of Liz Kipling after seemingly interminable injury. Barring a couple of
parkruns last year this 3,000m was Liz's first race for over two years and
she ran a very respectable 10:41.8 to win the women's event. Also running in

10:14.7.

FINALLY...
It seemed like a good idea at the time...in May, athletics officials in
Wroclaw, Poland held an exhibition discus and hammer throws competition from
a boat moored in the River Odra. The boat was about 57 metres from land.
About 20 discuses and 5 hammers were lost in the river...
