The Week Ahead - 6 July

Ivan is Coach of the Month, and following the inventive pyramid of last Thurs, he’s offering a track session on Tuesday - 4X1200 metres.

The alternative is a timed recce of the Magor Marsh 10k. Your chance to try the new course under Suzie’s watchful eye. Meet at Leis Ctre 7pm to drive to Undy for 7.30 start.

A special treat for Thursday. Gill Stott will take us round her favourite course in Brockweir, with birthday cake to follow. Bring along some eats and a drink to celebrate Stottie’s day. Meet at Leis Ctre 7pm to share cars.

Then the big weekend! Our first ever training weekend at the camping site at Merthyr Mawr, near Bridgend. You’ve all had Andy C’s letter by post and email, so I’ll just say that it promises to be a fun and incident-packed couple of days and nights with good weather ‘promised’ by Mr C. Absolutely free. Come for as long as you like, but come!

Bev and Claire’s Ironman + Saunders Mountain Marathon by James

Massive well done to Bev and Claire today for finishing an ironman. Claire was 44th in her category and Bev 10th. Fantastic effort guys. I hope you aren’t feeling too sore. I think it’s an amazing achievement (you wouldn’t get me on a bike for 6 hours!)

AND
Well done to Matthew and Steve in the Saunders this weekend, looks like they had a cracking 2nd day.  Matthew and Steve (as a pair) finished second in the Kirkfell Class in a total time of 9.29.58, 7 minutes behind the winners

AND

Esther with her friend Bill finished second in the Carrock Fell class in a time of 8.16.58, 8 minutes behind the winners. Es and Bill were also the first mixed team.
