NO REALLY, THIS IS IMPORTANT!
We urgently need to find someone to help Tamsin Burland with the job of
Volunteers Co-ordinator for our Ranelagh Richmond Half Marathon on Sunday
30th April. There must be somebody out there! If you can help, contact
Tamsin ranelaghhalfhelpers@hotmail.co.uk .
2XU SURREY LEAGUE and SURREY LADIES LEAGUE
The final men's and women's Surrey League races will be this Saturday 11th
February at Old Coulsdon, Happy Valley (women) and Wimbledon Common (men).
Start times will be back to normal at 12 noon for the women (followed by
U15s and U17s at 1pm and U13s at 1.30pm) and 3pm for the men (preceded at
2.30pm by all juniors). Note that the women will have a different start and
finish point from the usual. It's about 2.5 miles from the South London
Harriers clubhouse, so there's no need to go there except for changing and
toilets. Details and maps:.
There is plenty to run for - after three races our women are in 7th place
but close behind two other clubs, while our men are in a tight tussle with
SLH and Hercules Wimbledon for 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. If we can snatch
second place it would be our best ever men's League finishing position.
Details and maps for the men's race:.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - FEBRUARY 19th
Our last mob match this season is away to Blackheath and Bromley HAC on
their 7.5 miles true country course at Hayes, Kent. At their request it's a
SUNDAY MORNING race starting at 11am on February 19th. It's multi-terrain
with a few sections of road near the end, so trail shoes are preferable to
spikes. If we can defeat the 'heathens, this will be our fifteenth mob match
win in a row. As ever, we need all the runners we can get. When we last
visited Hayes two years ago both clubs fielded about 60 runners. We need
that many again, and more if we manage it. Unfortunately train services to
Hayes will be replaced by buses on that Sunday, so travelling by rail will
not be a viable option. We are setting up a car pooling scheme, look for it
on Facebook. Here's a map showing the location of the B&B HQ at the Sydney
Wooderson Centre in Bourne Way, Hayes (Kent) here:. There's plenty of parking in
nearby roads. Note it's a ten minutes jog from the HQ to the start, which is
off Addington Road, here:.
If you are arriving late there is limited parking at the start, but you'll need
to jog back there after the race (or get someone to take you) because the
finish is back near the clubhouse.
TROPHY HOLDERS
Our Trophies Steward Heather Martingell would like to collect up all the
club trophies well in advance of our Prize Presentation evening on April
1st. This is to allow time not only to get them all engraved with the names
of their new owners, but this year we also want to have them re-valued. If
you are a trophy holder please contact Heather hmartingell@gmail.com
regarding returning it. Items can be left in the safe
at the clubhouse but please let Heather know if you do this.
ELLIS CUP and DYSART CUP inter-club races Saturday March 4th in Richmond
Park
The Ellis Cup is a men's team race and the Dysart Cup is a women's. Both run
together over our men's two-lap league course of 5.5 miles in the Park.
Start time is 3pm and all are welcome, register on the day. It's also our
club junior championships over one lap of 2.75 miles.
RANELAGH CUP SCHOOLS RACE Saturday March 11th
Our annual schools race is one lap of our mob match course. Our chief
official Andy Bickerstaff will be away on holiday but we have a replacement
to flag the course in the person of Louise Piears. However, we do need
plenty of marshals to ensure that the schoolboys and girls stay on course.
Please contact Andy andy.bickerstaff@goodrunguide.co.uk as soon as
possible if you can help.
FINCHLEY 20 miles ROAD RACE Sunday March 12th at Ruislip

Cup will go to the first female. They will be incorporated with the
inter-club races for the Ellis and Dysart Cups and start time is 3pm.

the junior race.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
BANK OF ENGLAND INTER-CLUB 4.9 miles, incl HEC PETERSEN TROPHY Saturday
21st January in Richmond Park (Roehampton Gate)
Dave Lawley reports:
"To say this is a low key event is an understatement but don't let that ever
put you off running this cracking run. It's low key in the sense no one
really knows what is going on, where it starts, where to run and who is
going to turn up. The older gentleman giving course, turn-by-turn
instructions at the start was a particularly amusing highlight. That said
from all corners of a beautifully, wintry, sun-drenched Richmond Park 23
Ranelaghs found the start. It's a cracking run because it winds round the
park on a different, yet challenging, course to what we're used to. So long
as you follow the numerous yellow flags you can't go wrong.
Now about those yellow flags... yet again it is saddening to report that
someone / something decided to uproot some flags in a critical part of the
course near Pen Ponds. Yours truly here discovered this, whilst in second
place with Al Whatmough breathing down my neck, as for the first time during
the race I could see the outstanding Ben Anderson (who led by miles
throughout) running in circles, arms flailing and looking confused. He'd
gone left and followed the flags but this should have been straight on. Not
that we were to know this. Shortly the leading pack had grouped and were all
running round like headless chickens until we spotted three Milocarians
sneak through on what looked like the right course. A mad dash through some
woods then put us back on course and shortly after was a marshal adorned in
flags showing the correct route. We (politely as possible!) told him about
the sabotage but by the sounds of it he didn't think to move from his flag
station as annoyingly several other groups of runners went wrong too.
So back to the race and the impact this had. The outstanding Ben Anderson
amazingly managed to pick off the three sneaky Milocarians for a superb win,
quite how he did this I don't know as he had it all to do with 1.5miles to
go. Yours truly (angry at this point) managed to pick one off for a fourth
place finish shortly followed by Al Whatmough in 6th. So instead of a
Ranelagh 1,2,3 we managed 1,4,6. That's XC racing I guess and as the wise
Yoda suggests: lessons learnt 'course you must know, angry more often, get'.
It was inconsequential in the end as the 23 put in a great performance to
snatch the win with Milocarians in 2nd and Hercules Wimbledon taking 3rd. We
also won the Hec Petersen Trophy between ourselves and Ealing. The 8 to
score consisted of: Ben Anderson, me, Al Whatmough, Mark Herbert getting
back fit after injury (but had his works night out the night before so ran a
little sideways), John Shaw who flew in at the finish, Bruce McLaren (who
also went on the detour), junior Jonny Brook, and Richard Gurd. The
remaining ran strongly occupying many of the subsequent positions and the
Hillhouse family having a family run out with Lloyd Camp."
Organiser Gwyn Jones of the Bank adds: "Apologies to some of your runners
who got sent the wrong way near the ponds, apparently some clowns had
rearranged some flags just before the first runners reached them."
SOUTH OF ENGLAND CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 28th January at
Parliament Hill
Parliament Hill is an iconic venue for major cross-country championships,
offering fantastic views over London and a testing spectator-friendly
course. For "testing" read "hilly and muddy", although the course is rarely
exactly the same two years in a row as different sections of the Heath are
taped off for conservation purposes. The senior men's race is traditionally
over a three-lap 9 miles, while the women are asked to cover 5 miles.
Traditional too are the junior races which take place prior to the senior
events and usually serve to churn up the course into suitably "soft" going
for the seniors. Well, the juniors did their best on a mild and sunny
afternoon but surprisingly it never got really muddy this year. Mind you,
there were sticky patches here and there and at least one or two runners
went down headfirst into the infamous ditch. There were record fields
totalling about 1,600 runners in the senior men's and women's races. The
men's race invoked a cut-off time of 90 minutes and there were plenty of
runners who didn't make the cut. An estimated 500 men were lapped by the
leaders, making life difficult on the narrower sections of the course.
Juniors first, then. Izzy Atkins put in a great run to finish 18th in the
U15 Girls race, while brother Greg was a strong 52nd in the U17 Men. Euan
and Finlay Sinclair both ran well in the U13 Boys to finish 99th and 272nd.
On to the Senior Women, and the headlines came from Nic Jackson in her first
Southern. From the start Nic fearlessly tucked in just behind the leading
group. Gaps inevitably lengthened but Nic maintained her position. She
probably didn't know it, but in the later stages she was hanging on to a
place just inside the top 25 - the club honours qualification. A pack of
five runners was hot on her heels down the finishing straight but Nic held
them off to finish an outstanding 23rd, and hers will be the next name to be
added to the honours board. Congratulations Nic! Behind her, Laura Blazey
and Suzy Whatmough resumed their rivalry, Laura getting away a little in the
closing stages to finish 71st, with Suzy also well inside the top 100. The
scoring team of four was completed by Julia Bailey in 144th place not far
ahead of Becky Northmore. The final team position was a highly respectable
12th out of 63. It was good to see 14 Ranelagh runners taking part.
That Ranelagh representation was exactly duplicated in the senior men's
race. Richard Gregory set out with top 50 intent but slipped back a few
places as the first lap progressed. He wasn't going to slip any further,
however, and remained about 60th for the rest of the race. But if he thought
he was safe as Ranelagh's leading man he was mistaken. After a steady start
Carl Assmundson was steadily picking his way through the field and by half
way round the last lap he was on Richard's shoulder and then just a few
metres ahead. Richard rallied and the pair raced it out along the home
straight before Richard crossed the line two places and two seconds ahead of
Carl in 61st position. There was a similar scenario between our next two
finishers, Peter Haarer and Steve Whitehead. In a duel of the vets Steve
gradually caught Peter, only to be thwarted at the death by a matter of two
seconds. Completing the scoring team of six were the two Davids, Lawley and
Ready, excellent runs both. The team placed a solid 19th out of 69 who
closed in. Second claimers Jon Pepper and Jake Waldron both put in fine
efforts for 13th and 42nd places.

BOX HILL FELL RACE Saturday 21st January at Dorking
Race organiser Andy Robinson writes:
"At the front end it was a welcome return to the race after a few years
absence for James McMullan of Thames Hare and Hounds. James was the record
holder on the old (pre-2015) course, and so a new record looked to be on the
cards. However a fall when jumping a fallen tree 2 miles from the end forced
James to slow down and miss the record by 16 seconds. He said 'I just jogged
in after that', which can be translated for the rest of us as 'I just
retained my 3 minute lead'..
No such problem for the first lady. Nichola Jackson of Ranelagh Harriers
stormed round to beat both 2nd place and the previous record by over 5
minutes. It's difficult to compare the new course with the old one, but I
think her time would have put her close behind the great names of Sarah
Rowell, Angela Carson and Yvette Hague who were the fastest then, but all
from the last century."

FINALLY...
From Athletics International:
One record that may never be beaten is that by Ron Hill, who trained every
day (and twice a day for many years) from 20 December 1964 to his decision
to have a break due to chest pains and a possible heart problem at the end
of January 2017. His meticulous training diaries give every detail of 52
years and 39 days of running and he passed 151,000 miles by his 70th
birthday in 2008, when he completed his ambition of racing in 100 countries
and ended the record with over 160,000 miles. The European champion of 1969
and Commonwealth champion of 1970 (in his best time of 2:09:28) finished 115
marathons, all but the last (the 100th Boston marathon of 1996) under 2:52.
