Prestwold 10K: Super Sally Saves the Day
We were down to the bare bones at Prestwold, with holidays, illnesses, injuries and even christenings, intervening. What better day then, for Sally to banish her demons and come racing again? There was also a good showing from the "inspirational lappers" (see below) as Trudy, John, Barry, Alison, Neil, Nick and Dave turned out for more punishment. There were top class performances from Rob who broke 40 minutes for the first time, Nick who set another PB and Neil who annihilated his, with his first sub-7m/m performance. Full report, results and statistics to follow. Roadhoggs: "An Inspiration"Roadhoggs picked up the "Inspiration" award at the Rainbows 100 Lap Challenge. Despite being 7 runners short, we completed the challenge in 2 hours 31 minutes, with a team whose ages ranged from 14 to 73 (and we weren't last!). Thanks and congratulations to Nick (who scorched through 11 laps), Alison, Dave, Neil, John S, Trudy, Euan Sutherland, Charlotte, Emma, Fi, Fuzzy, Aileen (F&K) and Barry. Gemma Steel Sets Glooston Record
The headline performance came from Gemma Steel who smashed Tara Kryzwicki's course record with a classy and determined effort which saw her finish 2nd over all. She said afterwards that she had come with the intention of grabbing the record and she made her intentions clear from the start. After running most of the first mile (which see did in 5.30) with fellow Charnwood athlete Glen North she forged out on her own, running solo behind race winner Gareth Deacon for the rest of the race. Coritanian Gareth Deacon surged away from the field right from the gun and steadily built his advantage over the field, finishing with an advantage of almost 3 minutes over Glenn North. In the team competition, Huncote Harriers retained their title from 2008. For Roadhoggs, Nick Cobley put in a storming run for 7th place (only 2 seconds outside his PB) and Neil Winkless improved on the PB he set at Swithland. Stormy Swithland
The man they call Zorro returned to the ranks at Swithland! Nick and Neil grabbed PBs, Lindsay (in her first ever race) and Paul made light of appalling conditions to make encouraging debuts. Sorry for the delayed report - we are still awaiting definitive results. Brilliant Bec Beats 4 Hours!
Rebecca made a fantastic Marathon debut, completing Edinburgh in 3.53. Others braving the heat were Rob (3.28), Angela (3.30) John S (3.59 with a dodgy hip) and Jon (4.19 on one leg). Hinckley Hot Again!
A record number of Hoggs braved the warmer than expected conditions. Congratulations to Emma who made her league debut and Neil and Caz who capped theirs with PBs. Even without Mark and Peter, our top 4 (Nick, John McD, Rob and Simon) broke 1.30 and the top 100. Charlotte surprised herself with a superb 1.46 and Colin completed his first Half in 6 years looking like he'd just run round the block! Full report. Results. Statistics. More Milstead Magic and John Gets Revenge!
Rob Milstead followed his PB last week at the Bungay Black Dog with another in the Shakespeare Marathon. His time of 3.13.47 has added significance as it will qualify him for London and Boston. Another notable performance came from John Stew. A year ago, this event thwarted his attempt to break the 4 hour barrier but this time the tables were turned as John recorded a fine 3.47.39.

John finally succeeded in getting the monkey off his back (it must have seemed like the full 300lb gorilla) when he smashed the 4-hour barrier in the Draycott Water Marathon. His time of 3.40.41 was 23 minutes inside the best of his string of near (and not so near) misses. Stamford Valentines 30K
