…and our 10k on June 17th - here:.
Half Marathon entries are coming in fairly slowly this year, so if you’re
planning to run get your entry in soon. Of course, if you’re not running
please volunteer as a marshal – see above.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Richmond Half Marathon Race Director Sandra Forrest writes:
“We’ve lost our photographer for this year’s race. It seems a shame not to
have one, but they said that the race hasn’t been profitable for them. We
don’t pay the photographer anything, or even organise their attendance –
they usually just turn up and then put a link to the gallery on the website
each year so that people can purchase their event photos if they would like
to. If anyone would like to give this a shot, there is an opening for this
service. Contact me directly at ranelaghhalfmarathon@hotmail.co.uk if
you are interested.”
This isn’t a vital service so if no-one is interested we will do without.

MINI MOB MATCH
Our annual “Mini Mob Match” against The Stragglers will take place on
Saturday 30th June incorporated with the Crane Park parkrun. If you’re
running a parkrun that day, please choose Crane Park if you can. Wear
Ranelagh kit and make sure your parkrun profile identifies you as Ranelagh,
otherwise you won’t count.
ONE WILLOW THERAPEUTICS
Zoe writes:
“Deep tissue massage for athletes can both enhance performance and reduce
the risk of injury, as runners we have all had muscle fatigue, inflammation
and some ligament issues.
One Willow Therapeutics is an established deep tissue massage specialist
which can work with each athlete to address injuries or specific concerns;
this is often best set to gain optimal result working within their training
programme.
One of our members, Zoe as part of One Willow Therapeutics is offering a
discount to all Ranelagh members. This might be great in helping any current
injury, or simply preparing for or recovering from an important race! For a
pre-race treatment it is advisable that it is taken at least week or before
the event, as deep tissue work can cause the body to change in a rebalance,
or readjustment which needs to be accounted for.
The offer is for first treatment, including consultation, for an hour £45
(normally £75), 90 minutes £60 and two hours at £80 (normally £120).
For those who would like to book please call Zoe at One Willow Therapeutics
on 07778 513098 or email zoe@onewillow.co.uk and let her know you are
a member of Ranelagh.”
TUESDAY NIGHT SOCIALS
Don’t forget that we meet for a casual drink after training on the first
Tuesday of each month. Venue is upstairs at the Roebuck on Richmond Hill.

WHAT’S HAPPENED
***************
CLUTTON CUP 10 miles handicap Saturday 17th March in Richmond Park.
Shackleton reports:
“The Clutton Cup favoured the bold: arctic temperatures, driving snow and
slippery conditions all had to be negotiated just to get to Petersham,
besides the vast drifts of rugby-goers heading for the international match
at Twickenham. Sixteen hardy souls gathered for the start. As we set off
one after another into the wild, we were met almost immediately by the shock
of an icy wind at full blast which sought out the marrow of our bones.
Queen's Ride offered some shelter but there was no real let-up until we had
reached the lee of Spankers Hill. The park was pleasantly empty and we
encountered fewer people than we did deer, the latter looking on
disdainfully as we skirted the herd (especially the stag with his air of
"None shall pass"). As we approached Pen Ponds an unmissable sign pointed
the way to the start of a series of red flags laid down carefully by an
intrepid Andy Bickerstaff which marked out the second half of the lap very
effectively. This section of the course covers parts of the park rarely
trod by Ranelagh (or indeed anyone else on this particular day) and if
perhaps the most bleak in appearance, it was the most scenic with acres of
snow-covered wilderness stretching ahead. We were soon at and through a
section called Pond Slade which was a little damp and boggy in places, and
then climbing back up round Sidmouth Wood to the start. If the first lap
was the epitome of the loneliness of the long-distance runner (I saw no one)
then the second was more lively as the faster runners began to close in on
those who had set off earlier. Janet Turnes was first to the tape and won
the handicap and the Cup. She was followed in by James Riley who produced
an excellent run and was unlucky to miss out on fastest man for the day by
just two seconds (that went to Peter Haarer who had the advantage of Marcus
Atkins to chase down in a close sprint finish). Mark Herbert was neatly
third finisher and third in speed order, while Fanny Vein was our fastest
woman, followed by Rebecca Northmore and Ann Kearey. The real heroes of the
day were the marshals: Andy Bickerstaff, Ken Powley, Alan Hedger and others
who nobly started everyone at the correct time and then endured the bitter
weather until the last runner came home. Back at the clubhouse the
post-race tea prepared by Carol Barnshaw and Clive Naish has rarely been
more welcome. In spite of the elements I enjoyed the Clutton Cup and my
only regret is that it has taken me more than thirty years to give it a go.”

FINALLY...
Submitted anonymously to the Ranelagh Harriers Gazette October 1922:
‘Tis honour of club that spurs us on
When weary and fit to drop.
‘Tis only a slacker that turns it in,
And none who can stand will stop.
‘Tis a glorious feeling when racing’s o’er,
No matter which man has won,
To feel that you’ve run for your club throughout
And your race was a race well run.
