Fairy Freckled Cow Trail Race - Llyn Alwen

Sunday 3rd July 2011

     Spot the fly !!

             (click on image)  

Tables updated above - D

Considering the distance a huge number (30 at last count) of club members took part in the Fairy Freckled Cow Trail Race, around the Llyn Alwen reservoir near Denbigh.

The weather was superb, bright sunshine, with a gentle breeze, not quite strong enough to keep the flies at bay but very pleasant to run in.  A bad accident closed the road on the way to the race, and the organisers delayed the start by 25 minutes to allow many runners (Trevor included) to take part.  However, slightly delayed, we set off on the combined walking and biking trail around the water.

The terrain was gentle rather than arduous, although this was definately an off-road event with a couple of significant climbs. At one point the field in front could be seen winding up a long hill - not a sight for the emotionally unprepared.  However, as Tony tells us, the purpose of our short recovery sessions is to prepare for hills, and to keep on running over the top (rather than stop to get breath back!).  There were several bridges and great views to keep the spirits up, and the race finished on the dam itself.  Organisation was good, with one water station in the race, plus an innovation - tubs of yoghurt provided at the end - surprisingly palatable considering the state of some of the runners on finishing.

Provisional results are here, but (as always) subject to revision.  If any club runner has been left out or is shown in the wrong place please let Don know (or post a comment here).

Malcolm was overall winner, and the first lady was Phillipa Taylor in a time of 47:20

BMAF NATIONAL 5K CHAMPIONSHIPS – HORWICH

Sunday 19^th June 2011

Same course as every year, 3 undulating laps around Horwich, part of the Carnival of Racing which including cycling, race walking, orienteering etc. Conditions were good generally apart from the wind. There were not as many competitors as last year as some had complained about various things; it still didn’t stop plenty of course records being broken & some truly excellent performances. Tom did comment that he couldn’t believe it as the first lady passed him & she was a V50! You have to wear you age category on your back – which has its positives & negatives. Well done to Jane & Tom for picking up silver & bronze medals in their respective categories. I have added the first V80 male & V70 female as they posted fantastic times & show you what you what can be achieved at that age.

1^st  Steven CROWE – Ellesmere Port V35 15.33

29^th Fiona MATHESON – Falkirk – V50 1^st 17.06 (1^st lady overall & new national & course record)

35^th Tom MCGAFF – Wilmslow – V55 3^rd – 17.35

71^st Louise RUDD – Wilmslow – V35 5^th & 9^th lady – 19.18

96^th Jane MULRYAN – Wilmslow – V55 2^nd & 18^th lady – 21.13

120^th Steve CHARLTON – Thames Valley V80 1^st 25.07

125^th Brenda JONES – Bro Dysynni – V70 1^st  & 28^th lady – 26.26

Dunham Massey 5K (race 2)

Friday 17th June

The second 5k Dunham Massey race was held last Friday. It was slightly drizzly with a bit of a breeze.  I think some of the age groups were wrong in the results (or mine was anyway).  Christine I believe had a PB. I also had a PB (or rather a new PB since I started running again if that counts?).

Cliff to Castle Relay

18 June 2011

Damian, Janine, Mike Halman and I formed half the parkrun team for this crazy relay race from Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol to Windsor Castle.  The 128 mile route was mainly off road along muddy canal and river paths with the odd dash through a city centre.  It was a 3.00am start and Damian got us off to a flyer.  We all ran 3 legs each totalling 14-22 miles.  After various trials and several extra miles we ran into Windsor in the late afternoon 3rd place out of 4 teams.  This is clearly not the full story which will have to wait for the newsletter ...

... in the meantime here is the video evidence.

Fingers crossed this becomes an open event next year so we can send a WRC team or two.

Bramhall parkrun

11 June 2011

I don't usually bother reporting the Bramhall results on here because everyone knows where they are http://www.parkrun.org.uk/bramhall/results/latestresults.  But this week was exceptional for the number of WRC runners and also a fantastic time by Malcolm - despite mine and Stuarts regular efforts this was the fastest run by a vet since the course revision in April 2010.

I provided a thoughtful pacing service on the first lap and when Malcolm overtook me at the top of the hill on the second lap I thought I'd probably catch him by the pond.  But Malcolm had other ideas and despite crowds of geese and tailenders charged away to complete a faster second lap and go to 7th on the all time age graded league.

Janine is WRC runner of the month and duly delivered a Bramhall PB as did Andy Whittingham and the in form Paul.

Below is the report from the race organsier by way of explanation to some of the evening's events!

Surprisingly enough, a rain-free evening’s running was enjoyed after a day of torrential showers and it was a larger than usual field of 171, swelled by quite a few of Wilmslow Harriers (for whom it was a Club Championship race – thanks lads!), who set off up the track from the canal bridge. However, by the time they came back there were one or two unusual issues to attend to – it transpired that the first two back had somehow contrived to miss out the final checkpoint and consequently had to be disqualified and the race’s run of 17 years since the last injury was well and truly ended by two apparently broken ankles, one of which turned out to be a really bad sprain and ligament tears. The strange thing about the other one was that it occurred after the runner had finished in a very creditable fifth place and was on his way down the funnel – his prize voucher is in the post and both the runners met up in Stepping Hill A&E and no doubt compared notes. Best wishes for speedy recoveries to the pair of them.

It was James Scott-Buccleugh who therefore came home in first place half a minute in front of Simon Harding, with Malcolm Fowler, five times winner of the race coming in to claim third place and first V40. The V50 prize went to Mark Richards and the V60 to the Great Merchant of Alderley, Tony Hulme.

Olivia Walwyn had a fine run to win the Ist Lady spot, seven minutes clear of Claire Aspinall with Rebecca Avanssian arriving three minutes later for third place. The Ladies’ V40 was claimed by Kate Sutton and the LV50 by Angela Maziere (not, as announced at the prize-giving, by Helen Todd).

Macclesfield and Stockport shared the Men’s Team title with 19 points each, while Altrincham were clear winners of the Ladies’ Team with 235 points.

I continue to get a bit worried about the long-term future of our sport; a staggering 67.3% of the field were vets, topped by the 75-year-old Andrew Gregory (who did NOT come last !!), with only 32.7% being under 40. While this is clear testimony to the long-term health benefits of fell-running it does make you wonder what a large proportion of the internet/technology generation do for exercise other than develop massively powerful and versatile thumbs!!

However, enough of geriatric whingeing – everyone who came along, with the possible exception of the two injuries, seemed to enjoy themselves both at the race and in the Boar’s Head, so thank you for your participation and I look forward to seeing you next year, when it will be the 25^th Anniversary of the first running of the race.

Bowdon 5k

9th June 2011

This was just what was needed to shake the hill out of the legs of those who'd run the Boars Head the night before.  The rest of us had no excuses but found ourselves disappointed with the times compared to previous years.  The start had been moved back and an extra triangle added to the park section which seemed to add 20-30s.  Still a fine 5k on a nice evening and Louise picked up another category win.

National Masters Road Relays Championships : Sutton Park , Birmingham

The club had both mens and ladies V45 teams competing in the prestigious masters road relays yesterday .

Ladies V45 Teams

 

 
1. Bristol & West               59.55

2. Arena 80                       1h 00 43s

3. Windsor Slough & Eton  1h 01 39s

4. Les Croupiers                1h 02 58s

5. Wilmslow                     1h 03 57s

 

Jane Mulryan 21.06     Christine Geraghty 21.21    Clare Hawkes 21.30

 

14 teams completed

 

After the 2009 escapade with the M6 delays I gave Christine a 7.30am deadline for setting off and she met it without a hitch. 

 

No jams this time so we arrived even before the registration desk had opened and were asked to come back in half an hour. Time for a nice cup of tea and a wander round to settle us down.

 

Jane and Martin soon joined us and we persuaded Jane it really was just the one lap she had to run. We took at look at the first and 'worst' hill and got a few comments on the warm up about our luminous summer series shirts before cheering Jane off for the first leg.

 

Forgetting her nagging piriformis issues for 21 minutes she looked like the stylish runner we knew and ran a superb leg passing over to Christine. With the help of her pink compression socks as Christine bounded up the final hill it didn't go unnoticed by the official - 'look she's pumping hard with her arms and really sprinting in well for you!'  Clearly hadn't been on the sharp end of a Christine sprint finish before.

 

I got off to a nice start with a bit of momentum coming off the downhill to take a couple of runners on the first hill, then spent the next 2 miles ever so gradually reeling in the lady about 100m in front of me and having to put in a fair effort on the home straight to make sure she didn't come back.

 

Support and marshalling out on the course was fabulous. Relays are such a great event and Sutton Park is the spiritual home for them. This was the first time I'd done the Masters and as a lower key, but no less competitive version, it had a very special feel. The lady next to me in the changeover pen summed it up nicely: it's like being in a time warp, we've gone back 20 years but everybody's aged.

The men had Bill Heaton , Malcolm , Trevor Morris , Tom , Graham MacNeill and Rob.

Official results are not yet out but the men finished sixth.

More detail will be uploaded once available , but two fantastic results from our club teams in a NATIONAL event .

Well done all.

Nick.

Chester Half Marathon

15 May 2011

1 John Gilbert (Kent AC) 1.07.28
7 Rob Downs 1.14.20 1MV45
18 Graham MacNeil 1.18.00 3MV45
1028 Don Bullough 1.53.50
1045 Carolym Hirons 1.54.05

2160 finishers

Chester is a decent half marathon that has been won in the past by Mike Halman and last year Damian.  The out-round-and-back course is reminiscent of Wilmslow but more obviously down on the way out and up coming back.  This year the blustery wind was more of a factor although the worst of the rain held off until some of us were through the racecourse finish.

The Kent athlete was gone after the first mile but I held on to the large following group for most of the race and was contesting 2nd for a while.  Graham narrowly missed second V45, just losing out to Gary Rowlinson of Sale who was determined for revenge on Wilmslow after having being pipped by Malcolm (in full charging rhino mode) at Mobberley.

Trafford 10k

13th March 2011

Like Louise and Tom we were up against it with the quality and depth of the Trafford 10k field.  With practically the top 50 under 34 minutes and a crowded fast start there was little chance to run your own race, it was a sprint from the gun.  Jim and I tried to hang onto the pace but ended up fighting a losing battle with the leading ladies into the last 3km.  The first V40 ran 30:17.  Flat and traffic free, Trafford is probably the fastest 10k in the area with far greater depth than GMR.  And as Matt and Alan showed you really should PB.

BMAF National X Country Championships

Saturday 12^th March Perry Park Birmingham

 

I picked up Tom early Saturday morning & we set off for Birmingham hoping the rain would hold off. By the time we got to the Alexander Stadium – which is currently being renovated for the USA to use in 2012 – the weather was glorious not what you expect for X Country weather!  We parked next to Claire Stevinson after much waving to gain her attention & we set off to look at the course. It was 3 x 2K laps for the women & 4 x 2k laps for the men. It was very dry, fairly flat & the sun was out – albeit the wind was rather strong, particularly on the up hill finish – not sure who decided that when devising the course but it was unpleasant!

 

The ladies set off at midday, it was a very strong field & I was engulfed by fast runners straight away. I couldn’t believe it when my watch bleeped to say that I had done the first mile in 6.14 – that's road racing pace! Unfortunately I paid the price & ended up going backwards. It was great to have supporters there including Claire who kept telling me that I looked strong – I was obviously hiding the fact that I was struggling! The first 3 ladies had a real battle, Lucy Elliot winning from Claire Martin – who was the winner in Dublin at the International last year. Claire had beaten Lucy the week before at the Inter Counties X Country Championships. Claire did mention that even she had found it hard work with her average mile pace being 5.43! Bev Jenkins from Salford who was the winner at the NVAC X Country champs couldn’t stay with the front runners on this occasion. Bev is running the London Marathon in a few weeks with Katie Price, who plans on doing it in 7hrs, Bev has done this before with Katie, a far cry from last years 2.57 in the Dublin Marathon!

 

The men’s race was an equally high quality field, the speed that they were going was phenomenal, we could barely run across the field in time to cheer them on. It was again a real tussle for the first two, the lead changing until the last lap when Martin Cox from Salford pulled away from Mark Dalkins of Telford AC. They made it look easy. Tom looked comfortable all the way round & maintained the 3^rd place V55 virtually from start to finish. I think the 2^nd V55 had beaten him in a fell race the weekend previously; unfortunately Tom couldn’t exact his revenge on this occasion.

 

It was certainly an experience & very high quality athletes, for me it just showed me how much work I have to do to catch up with these ladies.

cloud nine n. Informal. "A state of elation or great happiness..." 

Well, for one, it should be.  For on a glorious spring morning, Damian became Cheshire Champion again, in finishing a close second behind the indomitable Simon Bailey. 

Otherwise, Cloud 9 is an multi-terrain hill race over 9 miles with a total ascent of 1250ft.

With half the club's ladies seemingly "trimpelling" up in Lancashire the other "half" endured the (not as muddy as usual) local classic Cloud 9.  The large quality field set off along the disused railway line with Tony in hot pursuit having not quite made it to the start in time.  We ask not why?

Although the summit of Bosley Cloud is not half-way it psychologically represents the turnaround point of the race, with the bulk of the climbing complete.  But, there's no time to stop and admire the extensive views of the Cheshire Plain and Derbyshire hills - another time. Along with many people atop, Mike and the "boys", provided welcome encouragement before we disappeared over the back and quickly down through the trees ..... to the stile!  Even at this point the finish is still some five miles away, and off we head on a big loop where a few metres could save a whole mile.

Apart from Damian, Jeremy and Dianne, who had good races, the rest us were out merely for the exercise with our various excuses and disabilities!

High Legh 10k

27 Februray 2011

This is a nice little race that is a bit like Whitley 10k.  The only problem is that it is full by about November.  I was somehow nearly 2 minutes slower than my last run here in 2009.  It was rather windy and waterlogged in places and after a brief tussle for the lead I ran completely alone.  But the excuses didn't quite add up to the deficit.  My consolation is that I didn't push the leader to beat my unlikely course record.

Rob

Great North West Half Marathon

It was disappointing, having left Wilmslow in perfect running conditions, to arrive at a windy Blackpool. A fast time on a flat course was dead and I hadn't even got my shoes on. The sign on the tram stop where I parked actually said 'Bispham'. I recall my grandmother, a social-climber who'd bullied my grandfather into buying their own house, used to say that Bispham was a cut above Blackpool. Judging from the hotel that housed the race HQ, it may have lost that status and, with the blustery wind, I was reminded why I had broken with the family holiday tradition; I'll stick with the Red Sea.

I knew there were a few other Wilmslow runners but saw no-one until the start where I lined-up with Janine and Paul. It was the last I saw of either of them until the finish. Steve I never saw.

Into the second mile Huma came past and a few minutes later, Sharon. I had not run the race before but it used the same promenade, traffic-free, paths of the Blackpool-Fleetwood 15k we'd run in the Series a few years ago. The lower path was more sheltered than the higher one but the organisers had a sense of humour and we ran with the north-westerly on the more sheltered path but had full exposure running into it. Sharon and I had seen a lot of one another at Four Villages and the first half here was similar. At Helsby, once Huma had overtaken me she moved steadily away but today I could see her all the way. We turned after 6 and for the next four miles, very slowly, I was reeling her in. Then at 10 we turned back into the head-wind and she started to ease away and I started to wonder whether I was going to have Sharon back on my shoulder. I didn't but Sharon did get a PB.

Worth the 1 hour 20 minute drive? For me 'yes', I bettered my Four Villages time, my legs really ache, I lack the motivation to push myself as hard on a training run.

Alsager 5

Sunday February 6th.

Alsager attracts a quality field, I seem to remember Mike Halman finishing 44th. Nevertheless it has never been that popular with Wilmslow runners; those who are not training for London have their eyes on the Wilmslow Half and a five-mile Sunday does not fit the schedule. We did, when it was a regular Cheshire Grand Prix event, get better representation but the narrow start, and the history of fallers, has forced it out. I'm not good at the Half, and so Wilmslow is not, for me, the focus, it is for many. A fast five-miles looked more inviting than a training run. Seven others concurred, well probably five; Trevor runs everything and Martin is gently working his way back.

Mick was edged-out of the M60 first he had won the previous two years but was happy with his run, as was Rob. Mick is, however, starting to mutter about unfair competition from young M60s. Matt and I were disappointed with our times. Cat and Mike were looking disgustingly healthy, this is their third continent of 2011, but that's it, Catriona is about to re-enter the real world. I didn't see her, Julie, Trevor or Martin after the race; although warm, it wasn't standing-about, chatting weather. Good to see Martin back racing.

Five years ago, it was at Alsager that I took the club M60 record (over the longer races I couldn't touch the legendary 'Rocket' Ron). However my best as a 64-year-old, in perfect conditions on the flat at Green Drive, was 50 seconds outside Ron's M65 time and I was never going to be close on a damp, blustery, February Sunday. I ran to 'average pace' on my watch, "keeping-up" with Ron over the first two miles before slipping back but the final result was a major disappointment; somehow I'd managed to run 5.11 miles, adding 40 seconds to my time. Rocket's record, which has already lasted 15 years, will have to await Tony and Mick coming of age.
