BILL HARVEY
We’re very sorry to report the death this week of Bill Harvey, one of our
longest-standing and most popular members. Bill’s funeral is at 09:30 at the
East Chapel, Golders Green Crematorium (shortish walk from the Tube station)
on Monday 28th October for family and any friends able to make it at such
short notice. The family are planning to arrange a memorial service,
probably in December. Details and obituary to follow.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Membership fees for 2019/20 were due back in April - if you haven't paid up,
please do so now. There are some urgent deadlines with England Athletics
coming up imminently (not least the need to make sure you're registered for
any XC fixtures), so please do make sure you're paid and registered this
week.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB
Our first mob match of the season is at home in Richmond Park on Saturday
2nd November against Orion Harriers. Start will be at 2.30pm. As usual we
need as many runners as possible to make up the sort of “mob” we will need
if we are to take the Lee Cup. The more runners we have, the better our
chances. Orion will probably bring 50 runners – we need to match that and
more. Put the date in your diary now. The race also incorporates our club
veterans championships.
SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUES Saturday 9th November on Mitcham Common
(women) and Wimbledon Common (men).

Saturday 9th November. The men are on Wimbledon Common, division 2 start
time earlier than usual at 1pm. They are followed by the under 13s at 2pm
and the under 15s/17s at 2.30pm. The senior men’s division 1 race – in which
we are not involved - concludes proceedings at 3pm.
The women are racing on Mitcham Common. Division 2 – not us – starts at
11am, the under 15s/under 17s at 12 noon and the under 13s at 12.30pm.
Finally the senior women division 1 – our race – starts at 1pm.

ACHILLES TENDON RESEARCH
Mitesh Panchal writes from King’s College University:
“I am a Masters (MSc) student in Advanced Physiotherapy at Kings College
University in London. I am currently in the process of doing a research
project and am looking to recruit participants who have been suffering from
Achilles tendon pain for over 3 months. The aim of the study is to
investigate whether pain processing is altered in people with chronic
Achilles Tendon pain compared to healthy individuals. It will hopefully
provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in causing ongoing
pain in people with chronic Achilles tendon pain. For more information

WHAT’S HAPPENED
***************
SURREY LADIES LEAGUE Saturday 12th October at Reigate
For the first of the season’s League races Reigate’s Priory Park was a
little murky but not too bad underfoot and as hilly as ever. Cordy Parker
was the leading Ranelagh runner throughout, though Megan de Silva was
closing on the second lap. Closing on both of them was Fanny Vein, just half
a minute down at the finish. Sarah Palmer ran well in her first League race
as our fourth scorer and the team was closed in by Becky Northmore. We
placed a solid seventh of the fifteen clubs in Division 1. Our B team – one
short of the required five runners – was 13th comprised of Alice Littler,
Ria Woodfield, Marianne Malam and Niamh Holt.

SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE DIVISION 2 Saturday 12th October at Reigate
While the Division 1 race was testing a new course on Effingham Common
Ranelagh’s men were making a short-lived (we hope) visit to Division 2.
Reigate’s Priory Park was the venue, the course a little churned up from the
preceding women’s races.
Skipper Rich Kimber reports:
“Well, that went pretty well. We were aiming to lay down a marker for the
season with a strong victory, and we did it in style. Conditions at Priory
Park were perfect for the season opener. We hosted the corresponding fixture
in div 1 last season, and Richmond Park was still a dustbowl, with
temperatures in the 20s. While the weather stayed mild, persistent rain
meant soft ground and a good helping of proper mud to get stuck into over a
hilly course in Reigate.
And get stuck in we did. The headline: despite the plague of absences that
seems to affect the first fixture every season, we won by a resounding 88
points. Ben Anderson was race winner, followed by Jackson Creegan, who
stormed his second of the course's two laps to secure a sensational Ranelagh
1-2. Both were unsure of their fitness going into the race, so these were
particularly fantastic runs from both.
And the quality didn't let up throughout the scoring team. George Howard was
an excellent 10th overall, followed shortly by Phil Killingley, with Peter
Haarer also in the top 20. Standout performances also came from eighth
scorer Ed Forbes, who seems to get quicker with every run, and Sergio
Stillacci, who ran a fantastic 78.4% age grading to secure the A team
anchorman spot on his XC debut. Marc Leyshon made a welcome return from
injury and newly installed team manager Jon Smith was ninth scorer, turning
heads (mainly away from him) with his, er, bold yellow shorts, inspired by
Mike Peace. Rumour has it he's pressing for these to become standard issue.
Expect resistance. The Kiwi contingent neatly topped and tailed the team,
with Vaughan Ramsay de facto B team anchorman.
Especially gratifying with the win was that everyone clearly enjoyed
themselves and showed fantastic team spirit, with some hard battling and
good packing. Fulham and Reigate both packed somewhat in the middle order,
and Fulham's numbers were conspicuous - they topped the B team competition
fairly comfortably. With a full-strength team there's little doubt we would
have been first, having taken the top four B team spots, but an incomplete
squad of 17 meant we incurred penalty points.
We shouldn't count on this fixture's remarkable 1-2 every time, but there's
a realistic prospect of closing out inside the top 30 next time, which
should still see us under 200 points. Several regular scorers are due to
return for the next fixture, and we'll need them to keep up the momentum.
This wasn't a foregone conclusion, and it took standout runs from every
member of the team, so very well done to you all. There's plenty more racing
to do and we'll need the same again at the remaining three fixtures. Watch
out Div 2 – we're on a mission.
Thanks go to Becky Curtis-Hall, and Steve and Sonia Rowland for turning out
to cheer on a drizzly day, as well as the assorted family, friends and other
halves, plus Jon Smith for ably handling the numbers and VC James Riley on
beer duty.
Peter Haarer's run as fifth scorer was good for a typically impressive 84.1%
age grading. He was almost two minutes ahead of the next over 50 - but most
noteworthy of all was that this was his 62nd Surrey League scoring
appearance. This puts Peter just two scores away from the club all-time
record. Simple maths: placing in the three remaining fixtures this season
will see him become Ranelagh's all-time top scorer.”
The junior races stay with the Division 1 fixture, so our intrepid trio of
Felix Allen and Finlay and Euan Sinclair fought a lone battle on Effingham
Common, where they finished a respectable 12th.

CABBAGE PATCH 10 miles Sunday 13th October

SOUTH OF ENGLAND AA CROSS-COUNTRY RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 19th October
at Wormwood Scrubs
It was good to see three Ranelagh teams in the senior women’s race. Our A
team featured two new members in Helen Shires and Emma Harris, and together
with Suzy Whatmough they finished a very creditable 17th. Our B and C teams
finished close together after Izzy Atkins had run a strong opening stage for
the Cs.

SURREY MASTERS CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 19th October in Morden
Park
We were relieved of the duty to host this race, which has been our lot for
many years. Instead the Surrey organisers opted to try a new venue, Morden
Park. It seems that dodging organisational duties kept our runners away too,
for we were very thin on the ground indeed. Nevertheless, we showed up well
when the medals were given out, all coming from the first race, which was
the combined women over 35 and men over 60 championship over 6.4km.
Megan de Silva ran very well to take 2nd place and the silver medal in the
W35s. She also led Bonnie Morgan and Kathy Henry to the W35 team golds.
Behind them Marie Synnott-Wells won the bronze medal in the W55s. Chris
Owens was our first male finisher, 2nd M65 and silver medallist. Another
silver went to Mike Peace in the M70s. Dave Kew would have followed suit as
2nd M75 but only one medal was at stake in his age group.
We fielded only two runners in the second race and Paul Murphy and Mick Lane
finished close together mid-field but did not threaten the medallists.

SAHARAN CHALLENGE Friday 11th October at Ourzazate, Morocco
More from Rachel Revett:
“On Friday 11th October at 7am, about 100 walkers and joggers set off on
minibuses to the start of the Saharan Challenge 2019. This two day event
covering around 40k each day took place in the Draa valley, southeast of
Ourzazate in Morocco. One hour later, 5 (yes, only 5!) runners set off. The
day started out warm, reaching around 28 degrees, but cloud kept the sun off
us for most of the run. Day 1 was mostly on good tracks and road (apparently
last year it wasn't a road) and through small villages where friendly
children called out to us while the locals looked on, mostly bemused! Three
rest stops and just under 5 hours later I finished, and spent the afternoon
chatting to people and enjoying the warm weather and later on welcoming the
last of the walkers into camp.
Day 2 started with rocky terrain just outside the desert camp, so we picked
our way through the rocks to the first rest stop. The sun was at full
strength and there was very little shade most of the day...it was 35
degrees. The medics at the rest stops kept a careful look out for signs of
dehydration and there were podiatrists to take care of our feet. I mostly
powered myself with copious amounts of heavily sweetened Moroccan tea. We
ran along palm fringed tracks, dry riverbeds and through soft sand in
places, which slowed everyone down. The flat landscape at the end allowed us
to see the finish from quite a distance, and gave us that extra boost to
carry on into the sand dunes and to the end. Finishing felt fantastic, and
we lounged around the finish camp, enjoying the shade and some cold drinks.
On the bus back to our camp we saw some camels, which completed our desert
experience.
Many of the runners and walkers had raised money for good causes to come on
the trip. The company that runs it is Action Challenge, who also ran the
North Downs 50k (actually 52.75k) two weeks earlier. In that race you reach
marathon distance going up Box Hill! The events are inclusive, in fact they
are more designed for walkers than runners. I would highly recommend the
Saharan Challenge for anyone that wants to test themselves in conditions
very different to the UK and over two days. It was very well organised and
they looked after everyone well on the trip.”
SNOWDON ULTRA 50 MILER Saturday 12th October at Betws y coed
Paul Ritchie reports:
“On Saturday 12th October I took part in GB Ultras Snowdon Ultra 50 mile
race. This started from Betws y Coed at 6.15am heading through woodland to
Capel Curig and then onto a bridleway for some km before heading uphill
parallel to Tryfan and up to the shoulder of Glyder Fach. Having made good
time getting here I then undid all that by heading way off course, picking
an unrunnable route (heather covered rocks and streams), adding in a good
couple of km and to add insult to injury falling and snapping one of my
poles.
Despite that I was still making reasonable time, and managed to regain some
places on the good paths up and down a cloud-covered Snowdon. The next up
was a long slog back up Glyder Fach with rain now coming in and no
visibility. On over Glyder Fawr and a steep scree laden descent to a wet
and treacherous Devil's Kitchen. After another fall here (no harm done, but
alarming some tourists) I was a bit more cautious down to Llyn Idwal, there
finding a great runnable path down to the checkpoint at Ogwen Cottage,
arriving in 12th place.
From here, in much better weather now, there was a very steep climb up Pen
yr Ole Wen (33% gradient) which was duly slow going. On reaching the top, a
marshal advised that the route was being shortened to miss Carnedds Daffyd
and Llewellyn. This was disappointing, but onwards and downwards back to
the foot of Tryfan and the trail home. Beyond Capel Curig there was a
detour up to a couple of lakes and the final checkpoint. With a sub-13 hour
finish looking possible I pushed the pace a bit helped by some good forestry
tracks in places, then back past the Ugly House and into the woods back to
the finish at Betws y Coed.
I finished in 5th (of 107 finishers, 33 DNF). With the shortening of the
course I suspect it probably ended up officially at about 75km, with about
4000m of elevation. For a hardy few, this was merely the halfway point as
they set out again for another 50 miles. Not on my list yet!”

TIRANA 10k Sunday 13th October in Tirana, Albania
Rodney Oliver reports:
“I am a frequent visitor to Albania, now aged 82, and I was able to take
part in the local 10k. Half of the course was around a lake in the
picturesque ‘Parku i Madhe’ ( Big Park) and the finish was in in Skanderbeg
Square. The only criticism was that there were no kilometre markers. The
Half Marathon was also run being twice around the 10k course.
The Kenyans dominated all the first three positions in both races. 42
different nationalities took part, it was fine moderate weather with
enthusiastic crowds and music! There were 2,500 competitors,1,620 in the
10k”.
