RICHMOND 10km Sunday 21st June 9am start
There is still time to enter or volunteer as a helper at our 10km on Sunday
21st June.
Race Director Rick Jenner writes:
"Many thanks to those who have already volunteered. There is still room for
more help on the day - marshalling, giving out water, helping at the start
and/or finish etc. Can you help, or know someone that can? Even if you are
running in the race, you could still be useful at the start or finish. Or
maybe you have friends or family who wouldn't mind helping while you're
running?
If you can help, please contact Rick Jenner at ranelagh10k@gmail.com with
your mobile number and whether you're running or not."
Total entries at the time of writing are approaching 700, including a
staggering 100+ from Ranelagh! Entries are still being accepted here:
BARBECUE Sunday 21st June at the clubhouse
Following the 10k, we'll be having our usual barbecue back at the clubhouse
- all welcome, no need to book, just turn up..
MINI MOB MATCH Saturday 13th June at the Kingston parkrun. 9am start
Our annual parkrun mini mob match against the Stragglers will take place on
Saturday 13th June. It's Stragglers' turn to be "at home" and they have
chosen the Kingston parkrun, which starts and finishes on the towpath close
to the Hawker Centre. Phil Killingley writes:
"While Ranelagh's cross country mob is on an unprecedented seven match
winning streak, a 5km parkrun in Stragglers' back yard is a different kettle
of fish. Please do come and boost our mob numbers at Kingston parkrun (from
the Hawker Centre, Lower Ham Road) this Saturday 13 June, starting 9am. And
make sure that you bring your barcode and that your parkrun profile has you
down as running for Ranelagh, otherwise you won't score for us. As an
incentive, Stragglers are offering free post match refreshments, whoever
wins! Not sure we'll scare the non club runners by doing our mob match chant
at the start for this, but play it in your head anyway!"

STRENGTH and CONDITIONING SESSIONS

If the weather is good we'll be outside where there is a little more room,
however if it's wet we'll try and cater for as many people in the clubhouse
as possible. Sessions will start at 8.30pm and be led by different coaches
each month. Remaining dates/coaches are as follows:
Tuesday 30th June - Wiebke and Vicci, 28th July - Chris and Peter, 25th

RANELAGH JUNIORS
Check out what's happening in our junior section here:.
STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES
The junior handicap series is held on Thursday evenings between April and
August at the Hawker Centre off Lower Ham Road in Kingston. The remaining
dates are:
Thursday 25th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 16th July - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 27th August - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Runners are allotted a start time depending on their previous performances,
with the slower runners starting first. First time runners are given a
handicap according to their age. The course is just over 2 km on the grass
area in front of the Hawker Centre. It consists of four laps of the
perimeter of the grass area, which will be marked out. After the end of the
fourth lap the runners will cross the finish line and go down the finish
funnel in the order in which they crossed the line. New or inexperienced
runners, if they find 2 km a bit far, can run one lap - they will be given a
time, but their results will not count towards any individual or team
scores.
Points are scored for your club according to finishing position and personal
best times. First timers receive a medal for completing the course. In each
race medals are awarded to the first boy and first girl (regardless of their
overall place), and further medals are awarded to the 2nd and 3rd overall
places (whether boys or girls). The overall trophy and shields for first,
second and third places and the team trophy will be presented on the last
Thursday of either September or October. We will announce the actual date as
widely as possible. In order to take part in the junior handicap, entrants
must have a consent and medical form signed by a parent or legal guardian.
See here:. Please pre-register with coaches Colin, Heather or Maia.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
DORKING 10 miles Sunday 7th June
If you're planning a barbecue or a summer fete next year you could do worse
than to fix the date for the day of the Dorking 10. It always seems to be
fine and sunny for this race. Hot, too, sometimes, but not this year. A few
complained of rising humidity in the closing stages but generally running
conditions were good. This was reflected in the result with the leading 24
men all on or inside the hour. Happy to relate, five of these were from
Ranelagh, and there were three more across the line within another minute or
so. On the women's side 17 beat 70 minutes, two of them from Ranelagh.
Phil Killingley and Richard Gregory led the Ranelagh contingent from the
start, setting off fairly steadily and soon beginning to pick up places.
Before the half-way point was reached Richard was chomping at the bit and
pressed on, continuing to gain places. The tough last couple of miles found
him up to third, though with a couple of Hercules runners chasing hard.
Richard didn't waver, however, and strode into the slightly amended
finishing straight in a clear third place. As this race also constitutes the
Surrey Championships, Richard won the county bronze medal. Phil plugged on
strongly too, never losing too much to Richard and finally emulating last
year's sixth place with a time a few seconds faster.
It was a pretty close thing for the third Ranelagh spot, but Steve Whitehead
beat off all challengers to finish 11th and 2nd over 40, just 8 seconds
behind the category winner Ryan Harris of Reigate. That was a county silver
medal for Steve and not surprisingly Richard, Phil and Steve captured the
open team awards and the county gold medals. George Howard and Ted Mockett
were our other two inside the hour - indeed, inside 59 minutes. This was a
PB by nearly a minute for Ted. Within striking distance of the 60 minutes
barrier were Nick Twomey, Jonathan Smith and Kris Davidson.
International on the country Georgie Bruinvels was the clear winner of the
women's race in 58.46. Whether the sprint finish from George and Ted was
their own private battle or a desperate effort to remain in front of
Bruinvels is a matter of conjecture! Megan de Silva was in third place in
the women's race pretty well throughout, accompanied most of the way by Dave
Lawley, Peter Faull and Richard Kimber. Mick Lane was 5th over 50 and Mike
Peace was 6th over 60. Marie Synnott-Wells finished 16th in the women's race
and was our last finisher inside 70 minutes. Subject to confirmation she
will take the bronze medal in the county W45 championship. Becky Hall, with
a 73.59 effort, was our third counter for the women's team event. Although
beaten again by this year's high-fliers Guildford and Godalming, the
Ranelagh team took the county silvers. Next Ranelagh woman home was Ellen
Clague with a sub-80 clocking.

RACE FOR LIFE 5km Saturday 30th May in Regents Park
Elisa Ferrua reports:
"I took part in the Race For Life 5k in Regents Park on Saturday the 30th.
Even if it wasn't chip timed I did it in 22.30. The atmosphere and support
of people was great."
COMRADES MARATHON 55 miles Sunday 31st May from Durban to Pietermaritzburg,
South Africa
Lloyd Camp reports:
"I ran the Comrades Marathon, known locally in KwaZulu-Natal simply as "the
Marathon", on 31 May in the Ranelagh colours: my 5th completion of this
iconic 55 miles (88km) event. It has been 14 years since my last Comrades so
I hope it doesn't scare me for as long this time before I do it again! There
were about 250 UK runners in a starting field of 16,000-odd, of which 4,000
failed to finish before the 12 hour cut-off time and were bundled into the
'bale buses' ominously positioned along the route. The weather was hot, the
road was long and the crowd turned out in their multiple thousands. The
Comrades was started in 1921 by veterans of WW1 to raise money for the local
widows and orphans of the Great War, and 'The Comrades of the Great War' did
sterling work in raising awareness of the horrors of that war, running in
plimsolls and rugby shorts along the rutted dirt roads of the time, largely
unheralded at first and widely regarded as mavericks or madmen. The Comrades
remains a festival of the human spirit, and a true test of endurance and
comradeship. For the great majority, it's not a race: it's a community event
where everyone is equal on the day and when South Africans welcome fellow
athletes from a hundred countries. It is Everyman's race, and each of us
runs it for a different reason.
Comrades can be brutal not just because it is so far but because it is run
only on 'gun time': the five to ten minutes one loses before crossing the
start line is never regained, and there are five cut-off points along the
way, each marked with an official literally firing a gun to indicate that if
you have not yet crossed that mark, your race is over. Even if you cross the
last line, the finish, a second after the 12-hour gun, you do not get a
medal and are not listed amongst the finishers. I felt 'gun stress' all the
way! Uniquely, it is run in alternate directions each year: next year is the
"down" to Durban. But there is a lot of up in the down!
I started slowly, slowed down, and then finished slower, but eventually
reached Pietermaritzburg (my home town) in a pedestrian 11.32, in fantastic
spirits and filled with joy.
Come on Ranelaghs: come and feel it".

WIMBLEDON COMMON TRAIL SERIES - RACE 2 5 miles Wednesday 3rd June on
Wimbledon Common
This was the second of the three race series organised by Andy Bix and the
Good Run Guide. It was a beautiful early summer evening on the Common,
perfect for running. Even the notorious Butts were benevolently dry (-ish!).
Clapham Chasers dominated the men's team again with three runners home
before our first, Mark Herbert. The Chasers narrowly pipped us for the
women's team prizes too, despite another individual win from Megan de Silva.
This is becoming quite a habit - she has won both races so far this year and
did the same in 2013, only missing a clean sweep because of running off
course in the third race. Study the map before the next one, Megan! Marie
Synnott-Wells was next in, leading a Ranelagh 1-2-3 in the W45 category,
along with Wiebke Kortum and Heather Martingell. Bruce McLaren was 3rd over
40 and Peter Fordham was 3rd over 60.

EUROPEAN MASTERS NON-STADIA CHAMPIONSHIPS Friday 15th - Sunday 17th May at
Grosseto, Italy
Alan Davidson reports:
"I flew to Pisa then train to Grosseto (a huge baseball stadium) and taxi to
Fattoria la Principina, a hotel complex 6k out and dubbed the athletes'
village with race transits organised by the military. The next (hot) day I
had a trip to the popular tourist destination Siena (train journey like home
except the barriers failed at Sticcione not Liss!). Excitement in the
evening as Sky and Astana teams stayed at the hotel for the local stage of
the Tour of Italy cycle race. Main race day had a crazy mixture of weather.
The early women's race walk had a gusting gale, the following men's walk had
the same plus squally showers, but early afternoon the women's 10k road race
had hot sunshine. Then it changed for our race - the 33c heat had also very
high humidity under heavy cloud cover. The course soon left the town and was
mainly on cycle paths amongst farm fields with some mentally tough long
straights. But far worse was the draining effect of the humidity making
running kit sodden with sweat. It felt like a 55 minute effort so it was
with some relief that the finish line clock showed 51.33. It came as a shock
to learn that my very modest effort coupled with the times of our two faster
boys got GB&NI an M65 team bronze! We had an hour (military) coach drive
from Grosseto the following morning past the resort of Castiglione Della
Pescaia to a remote sports stadium which gave us a cross-country relay
venue: 3 x 2k laps (team of three) with a course of rough grassland and a
hard trail at the foot of a wooded hillside. On a warm morning I had the
glory(!) leg taking the timing chip to the finish line (25.21 total time)
where we won the team bronze again. Time left to travel to Civitavecchia
(which Tosca sadly failed to reach), found a sandy beach for a welcome dip
in the Adriatic then to Pisa to check on the tower (still uprightish).The
Easyjet pilot kindly said you are swapping 32c in Pisa for a typical English
spring day 14c wet and windy. He could have added your hourly train to
Reading will be cancelled...but at least I had my magic memories."
