obviously we couldnt start on a handicap basis but just give the points to the 6 club runners who improve most on or are closest to their previous best.
just a thought incase we cant find a suitable course, the idea would need to be examined by the handicap commitee to ensure it met with regulations.]]> Chris Herkes Results & Race Reports Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:07:06 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2744#msg-2744 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2744#msg-2744 alan rowell Results & Race Reports Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:37:36 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?6,2717,2743#msg-2743 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?6,2717,2743#msg-2743

Just to note that I was out running this evening, spying out a possible route for Autumn / winter event. This is a lot more tricky - to find a lit route with no meaningful interaction with traffic, within reach on club nights. We will also have to be more weather wise - it cannot be run if there is even a hint of frost, both for safety ground and becasue the course will then be much more variable on timing. No promises therefore, but it looks like we will have sufficient interest.]]> BigZ Results & Race Reports Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:16:34 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2741#msg-2741 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2741#msg-2741 les Results & Race Reports Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:55:39 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2740#msg-2740 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2740#msg-2740 Simon Hackett Results & Race Reports Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:58:09 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2739#msg-2739 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2739#msg-2739 Craig Herkes Results & Race Reports Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:32:41 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2738#msg-2738 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?15,2452,2738#msg-2738 Many thanks to Andy and Rob for timekeeping, etc, etc, etc..................

It was good to see a number of new faces taking part and I am really encouraged for the future of the group, the final standings of the summer handicap are:-

1st Stuart Reay 13 points

If anyone can explain in simple terms how I can re size photos to get them on here that would be much appreciated.

I had a number for this race but unfortunately having recovered from recent hip problems and managed to get five days training in I came down with heavy cold on Wednesday and had a couple of days in bed - so totally Pi@*&%$ off at missing the race. Never mind, I am sure I will be back soon.

I felt OK until 5 miles when my calf started to ache and by 7 miles I was limping, so decided that walking was the only alternative.
It's the same injury as last year, so 2/3 weeks off running will be needed. Grrrr!
Still, there are worse things happen and perhaps it's my aging body telling me to have a rest.
Well run all and great to have a women's team running again.

5th in the Women's Teams - Durham City (Olivia, Anna and Kelly)

for some reason Simon isn't on the results list I have seen but he definitley came in with or close to Gary.
Alan Rowell picked up an injury about 6 miles I think and again he isn't in the results list but he was definitley at the end.

www.race-results.co.uk/results/2010/tynedale10.pdf

All in all very quick times. There always seemed to be an orange vest along the road somewhere to focus on.
I was aiming to be under 1.20 and would've liked 1.15 so I was chuffed to find out I had a 1.13 in me. It is a good course but I now know what they mean when they say undulating, if you're not going up then you're going down!
A little bit of sunshine for the first 3 miles and a bit of a head wind at times but nothing that caused too much of a nuisance. And pretty impressive refreshments at the end as well.

It's therefore all to play for on Tuesday. However, I am unable to make it down on Tuesday (working away Tuesday and Wednesday - doh!), so that takes me out of the running.

I therefore also attach a revised handicap sheet. Everyone will have some change of handicap (mostly 6 seconds) - due to an improvement in the slowest reference time.

Not so many years back we used to have a night out in Durham just for a few drinks on the Saturday night of the NE XC, which this year is on 12 December. It was normally a good night as most will have raced that day and would not be racing on the Sunday. Don't have to go to Durham could arrange a quiz night somewhere perhaps??
