05/06/2011 by Vanessa.
Here are the results for last Thursday evening’s run:
race-4-results.pdf
And here are the overall results for the series:
overall-results.pdf
Provisional results were announced on the night, and there were a few changes to those. My apologies to those who thought were in 2nd and 3rd place as they are actually a couple of places lower. oops…
Syd is still the overall winner, but he is joint with Niki, with 126 points. Gerry is 3rd with 124. Well done all!! The top 8 finished within 7 point of each other, so it was very close.
Here is a list of everyone’s best times, for extra interest:

My thanks to James for doing the sums, to Brenda for marking out every race, and to all the people who helped and supported at each event. I could not have done it without you!! Also thank you to the 72 Harriers and friends who came and ran at least one of the races.
Look forward to 2012 already!

The Week Ahead 30 May 2011

A nice choice on Tuesday – either a Windmill Hill session over in Tutshill, or the 3k Time Trial at the Beachley track.
On Thursday the final Club Handicap in Chep Park Wood – first off at 7.15. Any one of 16 people can still win overall, so if you’ve done at least two already, better come along. Or Vanessa is still looking for a couple of helpers, so that’s a fun option. Please contact her if you can help.
Have you some time on Friday eve to attend the East Wales Region AGM? I’ll be going and can give a lift to four more. It would be good to have a few Harriers there to support the region and represent endurance runners.
A special event on Saturday. Andy and Gill Stott are organising another Treasure Hunt from Brockweir. Orienteering made simple for runners. This time with electronic punching (no stupid clues). You can choose either 60 or 90 minutes to score as many points as possible. All on footpaths, tracks and lanes. Registration from 11.15 am at Mackenzie Hall, Mill Hill, Brockweir. £3 entry includes printed map and hire of ‘dibber’. Suitable also for accompanied kids and mountain bikes! Everyone welcome (car share if possible -limited parking).

Very simple week this one, dear Week Ahead reader. Or dare I hope there’s more than one? Unlikely…

The Week Ahead 25 April 2011

An excellent opportunity on Tuesday to improve your leg strength and speed, and your hill technique in races. We’re over in Tutshill to do the Windmill Hill sessions.
It’s the usual one minute up/one minute down format: but here’s the special bit – you run the first 30 secs with high knees and arms, and then the coach’s whistle will signal you to change your style to shorter, more economical strides in a way that, as in a racing, gets you to the top of a hill with the least effort and in the best shape to push on.
So the session gives you a combination of the hard driving style that will benefit your leg and body strength, and the economic race style that will improve your race efficiency.
Then on Thursday come to Chepstow Park Wood for Round 2 of the Club Handicap Series. See if you can improve your Round 1 time, and impress the Rack Raid selectors who can be mighty influenced by a good Handicap performance. Start at 7 this time as the evenings get longer.
Then come on down to the Fountain Inn just a mile away in Trellech Grange for a post-race drink and bite. Last time they had a quiz on as well.
