2015 ROAD GRAND PRIX
The first eight races in Ranelagh's Road Grand Prix have now taken place and
there are just two to go - this Friday's Wedding Day 7km and the
Perseverance Wimbledon Dash 5km on August 9th. The leading scores to date
are: (Open) Ted Mockett 60, Phil Killingley 57, Steve Whitehead 51, Jonathan
Smith 43, Nick Twomey 40, Kris Davidson 35; (Men Over 40) Stewart Anderson
30, Steve Whitehead 29, Kris Davidson 25, Michael Everard 11; (Men Over 50)
Paul Rider 28, Bill Neely 21, Mick Lane 16, Simon Burrell 14; (Women) Marie
Synnott-Wells 31, Megan de Silva 30, Becky Hall 21, Carol Aikin 10; (Women
Over 40) Ellen Clague 28, Wiebke Kortum 12, Tanya Allen 12, Mel Davison 11;
(Women Over 50) Marie Synnott-Wells 36, Deborah Blakemore 18, Carol Aikin
17, Sally Bamford 11.
Winners of some of the classes are already decided but others look like
going right down to the wire. Full details of the Grand Prix here:.
2015 SURREY ROAD LEAGUE
After six events in the Road League and with just the Perseverance Wimbledon
Dash 5km to go, it looks as if Ranelagh will have at least two League titles
to celebrate, and quite possibly more. Subject to confirmation we have the
men's team title sewn up and in the W45 individual Marie Synnott-Wells has
successfully defended her title. Ranelagh's women are in second place and
could theoretically overhaul leaders Guildford and Godalming but odds are
against. Our best bet for a third title is in the Senior Women's individual,
where Megan de Silva is currently in top spot and will probably stay there.
In the same competition Becky Hall is likely to take third place if she runs
the final race. Similarly Steve Whitehead could make it on to the podium in
the M40 class. Phil Killingley's chances of a top three place in the Senior
Men's category depend largely on who else turns out for the last race. In
the M60 class Peter Fordham looks to be a probable 2nd or 3rd. Full details
are on the Surrey Athletics website here:.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - WEDDING DAY 7Km Friday 31st July 7.30pm start
At the time of writing Ranelagh entries for this race have just topped one
hundred! Entries are apparently being taken up to 10 o'clock on Friday
morning. We're the current holders of the mob match trophy for the greatest
number of finishers and I think we might just retain it! Details and entries:.
PERSEVERANCE WIMBLEDON DASH 5km Sunday 9th August starting at 9am in
Wimbledon Park
The climax of both our Grand Prix and the Road League is the Perseverance
Wimbledon Dash 5km. Details and entries:.
WHEATSHEAF and PIGEON 5km Saturday 1st August at 1pm in Staines.
For something a little more low-key than most road races, Andy Hayward
writes:
" I would like to encourage entries into the above run. Whilst the
Wheatsheaf & Pigeon (affectionately known locally as the "Wee & Pee") is a
great community pub, publicity is not their strongest point, and I
volunteered to try and help them get a better turn out for the run this
year. It is a very low key but fun event, and the only entry fee is a
(suggested £5) donation to charity (Help for Heroes) supported by the pub,
and last year we even got a free drink thrown in for that! It was a shame
that there were only six entries last year, and it would be great to get
more out to support this worthy cause, especially in this year of continuing
to remember the centenary of WW1, and the 70th anniversary of the end of
WW2. It ties in with a charity 'fun day' at the pub (bouncy castle, music,
BBQ etc.). Note the start is at 1pm.not 12 noon as previously stated.
To celebrate my forthcoming change of circumstances from 'Insurance
Professional' to 'Professional Brewer' and the impending launch of Thames
Side Brewery, I am also expecting a good turnout from my other (lunchtime)
running club - Raven Racers. It was even suggested by Andy Tucker (also of
Blackheath Harriers) that we have a Ranelagh v Ravens mini mob match within
the run, which I thought was a great idea if we get the numbers from both
clubs. I will be doing a BBQ myself in the afternoon/evening, and would
invite all attending Ranelites and Ravens back to ours (about 200 yards away
from the pub) for an afternoon/evening summer party with eats and drinks."
135th SEASON OPENING RUN and THOMAS CUP 3.8 miles HANDICAP
Looking ahead, our 135th season kicks off as usual with the Thomas Cup
handicap in Richmond Park on Saturday 12th September. All members are
welcome. The annual club photo will be taken at about 2.45pm in the Park
opposite the clubhouse and the handicap will get under way as soon as
possible afterwards.
STRENGTH and CONDITIONING SESSIONS
Head coach Karen Weir writes:
"The Ranelagh coaches will be putting on monthly strength and conditioning
sessions on a Tuesday evening after training. These consist of a few short
but very specific exercises for runners, that can then be repeated at home.
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 date is 25th August with Karen ".
THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK TRAINING AT OSTERLEY
The club is continuing to subsidise track sessions on Thursday evenings at
the Osterley track. All groups and all abilities are welcome. The sessions
are every Thursday 7.30-8.30pm. Link to the map is here:.
THROWING THE....??? CONTINUED...
Hmm, well, I have had a few answers put forward, but most have gone for
throwing the hammer. Perhaps I didn't make it clear that the answer I am
looking for was an entirely new throwing event, never held (so far as I
know) either before or since the Chinese cultural revolution in the late
1960s and early 1970s. This event was probably only held in China, though it
may have also appeared in satellite states like North Korea. Here's another
big clue - China at that time was a very militaristic society.
So, for the last time, here's the question:
During the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s, which new throwing
event was added to the domestic athletics programme?

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
ELMORE 7 miles Saturday 18th July
Phil Killingley reports:
"2pm on a Saturday afternoon in July is never going to be chilly, and this
was no exception. Fortunately there was a reasonable amount of shade for
what was a really hilly course by Surrey road standards. The real hills
came in the first half, and there was a even a downhill slope to the finish,
so conserving effort was worthwhile. I took a delegation of runners out to
jog the last half mile as a warm up, which proved useful as I had a Clapham
Chaser, er... chasing me at that point. Chasing is how I prefer them, and
that's how it stayed. :)
The highlight for Ranelagh must be Megan's individual win, backed up by a
women's team win, Marie winning the W45 category and Sonia the W55. The men
couldn't manage better than 4th, but with Clapham being pushed into third by
a resurgent Reigate (1st) and SLH (2nd), we escaped in the League reckoning.
I was pleased with my best age graded run this calendar year (80.3%), and
the scoring team was completed by Ted and Jordan Mungovan, who just about
held off a rapidly approaching Jon Smith and Dave Lawley. A general
well-done to everyone who ran this challenging fixture."
ELMBRIDGE 10km Sunday 26th July
In contrast to most of our races this summer, the Elmbridge 10k served up
pouring rain and a distinct chill in the air. Clearly this agreed with some
of the Ranelagh pack. Phil Killingley takes up the story:
"It was a superb day out at the today for Ranelagh Harriers, with lots of
smiles and even an odd pumped fist in the pouring rain by the finish. The
men's team picked up some big shiny medals in cases for the 6-to-score event
victory. This was largely down to another one of those familiar Blue Waves
- with our second to eighth runners finishing in the space of 2 minutes
between 35:04 and 37:03. Take a bow Ted Mockett (35:04); Ian Kenton (35:14
and a 40 second pb); Nick Twomey (35:38 and another pb); Mark Herbert (36:30
and huge pb); Jonathan Smith (36:30 also a pb). Outside the scoring, Nick
Wright (37:01, 6 secs off a pb) and Dave Lawley (37:03, another big pb) were
unlucky not to go sub-37. El Capitan was our first home in 33:35 and Jake
Waldron, new second claimer but ineligible to count for us in this race, 2nd
place overall with 32:03. Lots more pbs followed, including from Vaughan
Ramsay (first time sub 40min) and Llewellyn Davies (new member).
The three to score Surrey Road League men's team race didn't treat us quite
as well, but third wasn't bad at all, with Reigate picking up another win,
and Striders of Croydon pipping us to the second place. Clapham were
nowhere, and now they can't beat us in the seven-match league. So I drove
home thinking we'd got our hands on the trophy. But Reigate's impressive
double victory at Elmore and Elmbridge means that a first place in the last
fixture could leave them level on points with us, once each team's top five
team positions have been counted from the seven events.
A nail-biting Sunday afternoon ensued, with an email to Steve Rowland to
clarify the rules. If separating two teams on equal points were decided by
the number of outright fixture wins, that would favour Reigate, but
fortunately it appears that it's decided on the 6th best result for each
team (and then the 7th if necessary). This favours us, with our 29 points
at Elmore beating Reigate's 28 at our 10km. This is a very long-winded way
of saying that I think we sealed the league today!! (It may all be academic
if Reigate can't win at Wimbledon).
The women's team is likely in 2nd place in their league, having secured a
4th place in today's event, ahead of main rivals Clapham and Guildford.
Although we rely on Guildford not turning out in strength at the last event,
we are poised to leapfrog into first should that team show any complacency!
Another good run from Megan led our team home - she is looking in contention
for the first placed senior women's title for the Road League."
Marie Synnott-Wells ran her fastest 10k for some time and won the FV45
category. Only a few seconds behind Marie, Becky Hall was surprisingly close
to her pb, given that the race formed the central part of a 16 miles
training run! Next came Michelle Davies - another pb - and Julia Bailey.
CLAYGATE COUNTRY 5 miles Sunday 5th July
In addition to the results in the last e-news, Teresa Segovia finished 292nd
in 49.41 and Wally Garrod 343rd in 64.50.
STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES - RACE 5 Thursday 16th July at the Hawker
Centre, Ham
47 youngsters ran in the main event in this, the fifth of the six-race
series, 6 were first-timers, and of the remaining 41 no fewer than an
amazing 33 set personal bests. As usual the first-timers dominated the front
of the handicap, but in 7th and 8th places Oscar and Molly Stewart were
officially "first lad" and "first gal" respectively. Back in 27th place Euan
Sinclair edged closer to beating 7 minutes and was clearly the fastest on
show. Stragglers and Ranelagh member Poppy Jensen was the fastest girl on
7.13, and there was also a speedy run from Noah Heron-Brett with 7.40. Molly
Stewart leads the overall points table with 46, two ahead of Nathaniel Bond
in joint second place. There were 11 competitors in the Minis race and Ben
Rushby placed 5th but leads on overall points.
In the team scoring Ranelagh jumped into the lead over the Flaming Penguins
but there's not much in it, so all will depend on the final race of the
series on Thursday 27th August.

CHRIS BRASHER PONDS RUN Tuesday 21st July in Richmond Park
This was our annual homage to Ranelagh's Olympic Gold medallist and London
Marathon founder Chris Brasher. This run - visiting all 20+ ponds in the
Park - was one of his favourites. We split up into groups, some intent on
visiting the lot (Clive, did you lead your followers back before dark?),
others settling for just a sample. It's a good way of seeing bits of the
Park we rarely visit, even if some of the smaller "ponds" this year were no
more than patches of dry mud.

could not be tolerated would be a sport where you didn't drink either before
or after, such as cross-country running..."
