We usually try to keep the faster senior men on a relatively low profile on the website, because we do try very hard to keep the club as welcoming as possible to all, with every member who contributes to the club being as valued as the next, however, I am about to make an exception.
The Chiltern League is the one event in the year where the whole club gets together to compete and is therefore a vital part of the club's make-up. Down the years we have won lots of awards, but the reason we have thrived in recent times has been due to getting lots of people out and packing the senior men together. However, we have not had anyone in the leading places of division one for a very long time.
New club member Kate Johnson has taken the extreme approach to winning a Stag race early in her club career!
Having used her new membership as an excuse Kate seemed to struggle round the course in October to register a time of over 22 minutes. Now suddenly, just a month later she is cruising round at the front of the field and snatching up the 25 points on offer with a time over 2 minutes quicker…………. is this just a cunning plan to achieve overall victory? We shall see!!
What a morning at Stevenage! On a normal day there are probably eight people who could justifiably expect the headlines after their efforts today, but with so many outstanding individual performances it's difficult to know where to start.
As the club half marathon championships for 2013, there were 17 people that arrived at Ridlins track in Stevenage feeling in fine fettle to take on the course (and three others frustrated not to be running!) in lovely, if somewhat breezy conditions. As usual, everyone had their own targets of PB's, qualifying times and simply finishing, but there was the usual pre-race nerves kicking around too.
