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.

This month we will soon have to start getting back to running around the streets again in the darkness. as the light is beginning to fade at about 8ish, so enjoy the remaining joys of running whilst being able view the beautiful surroundings.

For your continued enjoyment8-) please find September sessions below.

Remember. We train to race, so fit your training around and to suit your races

Thursday 2nd September
Distance run on following route:-
MC- right to Houghall Woods and up Tonks Bank-right at top through colleges to come out on South Road- left up to C of Nth- cycle track to NX- right and down The Avenue- left at bottom and down Nth Rd to Sliver St- Mkt Place- underpass and along riverbank to club.
IMPORTANT .. If you are racing this week-end make sure you run easily tonight.
However, if not, a few fartlek efforts would not come amiss.

Tuesday 7th September
Andy and Rob's Last Handicap. The series I mean, not their last ever.:S

Thursday 11th September
Hard run tonight, so easy warm up to Duke of Wellington via New Inn, down Lowes Barn Bank to Stone Bridge.

Easy jog back to MC.
If you can remember your time from/to Stonebridge from the last session see if you can beat it.

Steady paced run for ONE hour ( hopefully)
MC/New Inn/ Durham School/ North Road to Garden House/cross road to DLI / path behind Aykley Heads to Bek Rd/ left to Salutation/ Whitesmocks/ Neville's X/ Peth / Durham School/ MC.
Set off a group, but form own groups and regroup at NX.


Tuesday 22nd September
How about a track session for a change.
Good warm up.
6 x 1000M @ your 5K pace with 3 minute jog or walk recoveries.
Tough session so a good warm down needed.

Thursday 24th September
How about THE TESCO TROT with the Pennyferry Bridge/ riverside Silver St extension thrown it.
Up for it? Great!X(


Tuesday29th September
And finally to finish off the month a session that you will all thank me for?????????
Jog out to Ravensworth Terrace (at top of Claypath) THEN...................................

When you send me something can you mark your email ‘newsletter’.
The sort of ‘copy we’d like is pretty straightforward such as
• Race reports (maybe with the odd photo). Perhaps it’s a race only you did and you would like to tell others about. If it’s a race that many club members completed then agree who is going to send in the write up.
• Could you review in advance a race coming up in the next couple of months for the benefit of people who haven’t done it before?
• News/important notices about Cross Country and Road Races (I’ll be in contact with the captains for this)-but there will be a slot available each month.
• Advance notice about any training programmes for the month ahead.
• News/results to do with the ‘Winter Handicap’.
• Any ‘news’ about anything to do with running. Maybe you’ve read a good running book and would like to review it, or been to an event, seen a film (what did you think of Run Fatboy Run?- rubbish/brilliant?), got some new kit, whatever. Maybe you write running poetry....
• News about upcoming social events
• ?????
If anyone would like to help Dave and me with this that would be terrific. Please email me at the address above or have a word on club nights. A group of dedicated reporters digging up stories or writing copy would be great. Thanks

Meanwhile Anth and Jon were tearing down into Waterhouses and along the old railway line to the Stone Bridge. Then through Durham to Rennys Lane where the rest were waiting for the last leg. Ian and Alan heroically running a second leg in the searing heat. 9 of us then set off to Pittington, Hetton and Murton, stopping off at a farm near Murton to get some iced water from a really friendly farm with a dog that was really happy to see us! That doesn't usually happen at farms. Quickly along Murton main street, past Dalton Park where Ted joined us for the last couple of miles. Over the A19 and then into Seaham on a lovely path dropping gently downhill past the golf course, with the blue sea glinting in the distance ahead of us.

Onto the beach and then a paddle and swim (it was that warm!). The stones from Killhope were hurled into the sea and then food and drink for all with a great spread supplied by Jon. Ian made a brew, a great end to a memorable day. Thanks to all who ran (that's Ian,Ted,Alan,Rob,Anth,Jon, Chris C Chris H,Craig H,Bob,Alan J,Stephen), provided support and made this happen-especially Alan R for saying let's do it and Bob for support driving . Suggestions for next year welcome.

Results are at [www.sportsystems.co.uk]

Summarised below.
Positions are across the line and not the chip time position
though the times are the chip time.

1 32:02 Dan Garbutt - 1ST MALE
6 32:57 Ian Crampton (v40) - 1ST V45 1st team too
12 34:06 Graham Hunt
20 35:25 Rosie Smith - 1ST FEMALE
62 39:02 Richard Asquith
118 40:53 Rob Garbutt (V45)
126 41:06 Alan Rowell (V60) - 2ND V60
141 41:46 Anthony Hunt (V40) - PB
147 41:44 John Nash (V?)
171 42:45 Gary Coulter (V55) - 6TH V55
178 42:47 Clare Manser
224 44:11 Elwyn Baldwin (V60) - 4th V60
242 44:20 Ian Marshall (V45)
409 48:51 Peter Chapman
475 50:26 Diane Wood (v45 Ladies) - 8TH Ladies V45
618 53:51 Joseph Harker (V70) - 4th V70

I enjoyed it, I think. A PB for me (25 seconds) which I was personally happy with, but there were some seriously good performances from many others. Good to see Elwyn and Ian Marshall back racing and unlucky to Graham who loses his club championship by posting a better time than last year!

From the Cumbrian border above Killhope to Seaham.(50 miles appx). All the way across beautiful Durham.
So far the team consists of (some final confirmations from the following still to come in) Alan Rowell, Anth, Alan Jackson, Chris Callan, Ian Crampton, Rob Hand, Ted Tait, Kevin Knight, Bob Hewitson, Rob Garbutt, Dan Garbutt, Chris Herkes, Gary Coulter, Andy Billett.

We'll get the length of the running legs sorted next and how this fits in with transport arrangements and then we need to put together the groups and agree who runs which legs. Bob and myself(+anyone else interested) will do a survey of the route soon.

Rob G has pointed out that there is a race at Billingham that day so if you're doing the relay don't double book.

Any suggestions always welcome. If anyone else wants to participate please let me know.
