ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The club's AGM will take place in the clubhouse on Tuesday 4th July starting
at 8.30pm. All are welcome to attend. You should have receive an agenda and
annual reports last week, but if not please reply to this email.
COAD CUP summer 5 miles handicap Tuesday 11th July in Richmond Park starting
at 7.15pm
This is our annual summer cross-country handicap in Richmond Park. For those
unfamiliar with handicaps, take a look at our website here:. That also shows a course
map, and it's as well to familiarise yourself with the route. All members
are welcome to take part and there's no entry fee. However, please help us
out in two ways: first, please arrive earlier than your normal Tuesday time
if at all possible. If you all arrive at once there will be a queue for
registration and we'll be late getting the race underway. Secondly, if
you're a new member or haven't raced in a club event, please contact our
hard-working handicapper Angus Cater to give him some idea of what time you
take for a parkrun or a 10k or similar. This will allow him to assign you a
handicap in advance rather than trying to work it out on the evening of the
race. This doesn't commit you to running! Contact Angus
angus.cater@gmail.com .
ROTHWELL RELAY Thursday 20th July at the Hawker Centre, Lower Ham Road
Roy Reeder writes:
"Nigel Rothwell was a regular local runner for many years and helped
organise Richmond parkrun and then Kingston parkrun. Nigel devised and
organised a relay event on a Stragglers' club night several years ago. He
was present last year but passed away shortly afterwards. As well as lots of
Stragglers, last year's event was attended by lots of Nigel's friends from
26.2. This year it would be great to see anyone who knew Nigel from Ranelagh
Harriers at the event too. Teams of four will be graded on the night to try
to ensure balanced teams, so please have your recent parkrun time available.
The course is 2.5km. Register from 7pm and the race starts as soon as
everyone is registered (around 8pm). There will food and drink available to
purchase afterwards at the Hawker Centre. Free race entry but donations
accepted to Pancreatic Cancer UK."

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
RANELAGH RICHMOND 10k Sunday 18th June at Ham.
Our Australian readers like to scoff at us feeble Poms when we complain of
racing in hot weather. But surely this time we were justified, as
thermometers reached the mid-30s on a course which offered little enough
shade. It was too much for some: twenty or more headed for home after one
lap and the first aid people were kept busy as runners wobbled through the
finishing funnel. Happily there was no lasting damage. After some
re-hydration and a lie-down in the shade everyone was fit to get home under
their own steam - if that's the right word to use..
Given the conditions, times were quite reasonable, though winner Phil Wicks
took almost a minute longer this year than he had in taking the title last
year. Wisely no-one tried to go with him, and just like in the Dorking 10m a
couple of weeks ago we soon had two races - Wicks in one and the rest in
another. Kent veteran Chris Greenwood at least kept Wicks in sight and was a
clear second while Ranelagh's Jake Waldron was third. Jake was one of those
who needed some attention at the finish but he soon recovered. As Greenwood
is not Surrey-qualified Jake took the silver medal in the county
championship which as usual was incorporated into this race. There was
another county silver for Jake in the team competition where he, Nick Impey
and Ian Kenton finished as runners-up to Reigate Priory. Remarkably, Nick's
34.11 in 8th place was a new PB. In the open team race (i.e. including
non-Surrey athletes) it was Carl Selya-Hammer who joined Jake and Nick in
taking the second prize wine. Ted Mockett was our next man in after Ian, and
he was chased home by Steve Whitehead who placed 8th in the M40 category.
James Winch and Richard Kimber finished in the 37s and another eight RH made
it home inside 40 minutes.
The women's race was even more clear-cut than the men's. 18 year-old
waif-like Hannah Irwin representing Guildford recorded an impressive 35.47,
over a minute clear of Epsom and Ewell's Isabel Brinsden. Laura Blazey was
our first finisher in 13th place and she was followed by the very
inexperienced Adrienne Baddeley who recorded an excellent 42.20 in her first
serious 10k. The very experienced Marie Synnott-Wells was next home, taking
a bronze medal in the W45 Surrey championship. Becky Northmore was next,
then also inside 50 minutes were Elisa Ferrua and newcomer Niamh Holt.
There were 74 Ranelagh finishers in all, and it's a great effort on our part
that so many are able to run while we still find enough marshals, water
station attendants and so on to ensure an enjoyable and safe race. This
doesn't happen on its own! Race Director Rick Jenner and his team did
another great job, and Rick adds:
"Thank you to everyone that took part in the Ranelagh Harriers Richmond 10k
on Sunday. Well done to the runners who managed well in the pretty
unbearable heat. And a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and made
the race possible. I have had a lot of positive feedback about the race and
the marshals in particular for making it the fun event it is. Massive
gratitude to Hannah (for co-ordinating all the volunteers and getting the
new t-shirts), Niall for getting up early to manage the start and finish,
Hugh for cycling down from north London to put up signs and be lead bike,
and of course Alan for being our starter once again. And whoever it was who
had the idea of setting up a sprinkler at the water station - great
thinking! Next year I would either like to hand the Director reins to
someone else or will need more help with some crucial roles - if either is
of interest drop me an email to ranelagh10k@gmail.com."
Do get in touch with Rick if you think you can help...meanwhile, many many
thanks go to him and to all those involved.
Following the race we enjoyed our annual barbecue back at the clubhouse.
Some 35-40 members attended and the limited shade was much sought after as
the mid-afternoon sun beat down. Thanks to Michele Gibson and Andy Hayward
for organisation before the day, and to Ewa Soltys and a number of guest
barbecuers for keeping us fed and watered on the day itself.
MINI MOB MATCH v THE STRAGGLERS Saturday 24th June at Bushy Park
This was the ninth mini-mob match between ourselves and Strags but the first
to contest the new Rothwell-Wright Shield commemorating Straggler Nigel
Rothwell and our own Peter Wright. Prior to today the series total was four
each and Strags were evidently all out to take the lead. It was a "home"
fixture for them - held in conjunction with the normal Saturday morning
Bushy parkrun - and they pulled out all the stops to ensure a massive mob of
143 runners. Our total of 70 was fair but inevitably we were swamped.
We managed to supply the first three home in the shape of Ian Kenton, Greg
Atkins and Steve Whitehead, and Kris Davidson and Duncan Mallison also made
the top ten. Things were fairly even up to the first thirty or so, but
thereafter, Stragglers' weight of numbers began to tell and the gap between
the two totals inexorably climbed. It was 67 a side to score and the final
result was a win for The Stragglers by 3610 to 6546.
Laura Blazey and Ria Woodfield were the leading two women, with Adrienne
Baddeley and Becky Curtis-Hall 4th and 5th. It was good to see a number of
juniors taking part, as well as a pair of over-80s!
STRAGGLERS / RANELAGH JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES RACE 3 Thursday 8th June in
Richmond Park
This was the third race in the six event series. We were the hosts and by
most reckoning we were the most successful team on the day. We provided the
biggest contingent - 21 out of 66 finishers - Ranelagh runners filled 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th and 8th places in the handicap and the fastest girl and boy
were from Ranelagh. But unfortunately most of the front finishers were
first-timers and therefore didn't score highly, while the fastest finishers
were too far down the field in the handicap to score much either. So the
team result saw another win for the Flaming Penguins with 46 points to
Ranelagh's 33, giving a cumulative total of 122 to 90.
Our first finisher in 3rd place was Jack Donovan, pursued by Alfie Williams
4th and Jack's sister Megan in 5th. Matty Key and Luke Maguire completed our
front-running pack, with Luke officially 2nd boy home after all the first
timers were excluded. Fastest time was set by Tom Armstrong who recorded
7.20 down the field in 46th place. Joe Murphy and Alistair Brendon were two
of only three other runners to beat 8 minutes but they too were well down
the field. Just outside 8 minutes was Harriet Wiltshire with the fastest
girls' time of 8.08.
In the individual standings Alfie Lafeuille is in 2nd place, Nathaniel Bond
is 6th, Angus O'Brien 8th and Luke Maguire 12th.

THAMES HARE & HOUNDS PARKLAND RELAY Wednesday 14th June in Richmond Park
Peter Fordham took on men's captaincy chores for the day, as he never misses
an opportunity to sell this race. Certainly you could find a lot less
enjoyable things to do than running in a low key relay in the middle of the
Park on a bright and warm summer's evening. We had four teams of four out,
two senior men and two veteran men. Probably the best performance came from
Vets A who, anchored strongly by Kris Davidson, finished 16th overall but
4th amongst the vets teams and only 4 seconds behind 3rd place. Ranelagh A
finished 8th with Ted Mockett running a speedy last stage, Ranelagh B were
28th with an eye-catching lap 3 from Chris Bundhun and likewise for Vets B
Simon Martin an lap 3 was the fastest for the team that placed 33rd out of
53 complete men's teams.

SOUTH DOWNS WAY MARATHON RELAY Saturday 17th June Slindon to Petersfield
Two Ranelagh teams of four took part: an "Intermediate 1" team comprising
Wiebke Kortum, Chris Read, Elisa Ferrua and Amelia Churnside and an "Old
Friends" team of Michael White, Alison Dicks, Jar O'Brien and a friend of
Michael's. The four stages were 7.5m, 5.6m, 6.9m and 6.2m, making up the
26.2 miles Marathon distance Chris Read writes:
"The race was well organised and scenic, although the hills were tough,
especially in view of the hot weather. It was an enjoyable event, with more
than 90 teams completing the course. Wiebke's Intermediate 1 team came 13th
and Michael's Old Friends were 42nd. Somewhat surprisingly despite being
made to run up and down hills in temperatures of 30C we were still all
friends at the end of the day."

Marina Quayle writes on Facebook: "It's the morning after the Mont Blanc
marathon and I'm still feeling so happy and relieved that I managed to
finish within the cut off time. The course was tough with 2700 m of altitude
gain but the finish at Plan Praz made it worth it with amazing views of Mont
Blanc and a great atmosphere."

FINALLY...
A world record total number of 386,050 applicants from the UK and overseas
registered for a ballot place in the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon when
the application system closed on May 5. Of that number, 327,516 were from
the UK... 73,586 up from the previous UK applicant record of 253,930 for the
2017 event - an increase of nearly 29%. Just over 58% of the UK applications
were from people who have never run a marathon and more than 45% were women
(also a new record). Hugh Brasher, Event Director for London Marathon
Events, said: "It's fantastic that more than 191,000 people from the UK have
been inspired to apply to run a marathon for the first time in 2018. In
1981, less than 300 of the 6300 finishers were women. More than 149,000
women from the UK have applied to run next year and, in another first, there
were more female than male first time marathon runners from the UK who
applied this year (51.7% v 48.3%).
