Congratulations to
Graham Ford for a good victory and commiserations to Gary Mann who made a great
effort in the last 100 metres to overtake Grace but did not know Graham was
ahead!
Handicaps were based
on 2 years information in the performance database. Did they seem correct
for you? There were two glitches –
·
Richard
Adcock claimed his handicap was too favourable(!) and when I checked I found it
was based on a Great North Run time – he said it had been just a week after his
Ironman Triathlon.
·
Mick
Tinker was one of many who claimed that his handicap was too tough. After
the race I checked and it was based on his time at the Bramham Park 10k – which
he’d not run – there is another Michael Tinker in Yorkshire and we’d got the
wrong one – sorry Mick!
·
So
for the next handicap two more to check are Paul Sanderson (he has a namesake
at Hyde Park) and Bob Jackson (I saw a Rob Jackson in the Chevin Chase results)
Thanks to Mike and
Eileen Crosfill for timekeeping, and to Ian Place, Kathy Kaiser, Ken Kaiser and
Paul White (also Natalie and Ted Crossland) for marshalling.

Parkruns
I get an email from
parkrun each week. The last two weeks have been rather strange. See
if you can see what’s unusual in the results below!
Results for Leeds
parkrun, event number 220, 31/12/2011.
185 participants
completed the run today. The first male to finish was Simon MIDWOOD (M) (Valley
Striders AC) in a time of 00:17:17. The first lady completing the course was
Sarah GRAHAM (F) (Morpeth Harriers & AC) in a time of 00:20:14. You can
find the full parkrun results for this event here: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/leeds/results/latestresults.
The following club
members participated:
1 Simon MIDWOOD
00:17:17
3 Joel GIDDINGS
00:18:53
7 James TARRAN
00:19:48
12 James TARRAN

00:22:27
19 Roy HUGGINS
00:20:02
31 Christopher A
SAWYER 00:24:04
59 Meryll CRIPPS
00:29:39
86 Sarah OLDROYD
00:25:31
138 Meryll CRIPPS
00:28:47
Yes, James and Meryll
both ran twice! The reason was that there was an extra parkrun on new
year’s day but the computer system couldn’t cope!
There was also an
extra Leeds parkrun on Xmas Day and other Striders running 2 parkruns in a
weekend were Sarah Oldroyd running Roundhay on 24/12 and Hyde Park on 25/12,
and Joel Giddings and Chris Sawyer both running Roundhay on 31/12 and Hyde Park
on 1/1.
The good news is that
to add to Simon Midwood’s 1st place on 31/12 was that Sue Sunderland
was 1st W on 1/1. And another winner was Pam Lomoro 1st
W at Wanstead. Congratulations to all three! And also to Joel
Giddings who scored two 2nd places and a 3rd over the
holiday period.
Striders Ladies Summer Tour (from
Holly & Sarah)
Hi ladies,
Sherwood Forest was the favourite, there is also the option of Wharfedale half
for those wanting more of a challenge but Sherwood will be the official ladies tour
for this year.
Details:
Clumber Park
Saturday 9th June 2012, 11am
10k trail run (not muddy)
£30 discount of £5 per person for groups of 5-lets get full cars so we
can get the discount!
Becky Murray also suggested overnight log cabins and camping so we could make a
weekend of it. I will look into the details for this at a later date.

Please reply to the thread on the Forum with more ideas of accommodation and
who's interested so we can get a list together so we know who we need to email.

Happy new year!

EVERY THOUGHT ABOUT
BECOMING A PUBLISHED AUTHOR USING YOUR RUNNING KNOWLEDGE?
JMD MEDIA ARE
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO CREATE SHORT INDIVIDUAL RUNNING GUIDES FOR OUR BRAND NEW
EBOOK RANGE
• You don’t have to
be a published author, we just want people with knowledge of their local routes
and a passion for running.
• Could you write an
accurate guide for people to follow, including mileage, terrain, time frames
and local conveniences?
• The inclusion of
photographs to add to the visual appeal of the route is a must.
• They don’t have to
be very long, one detailed route per guide.
• Great publicity
for your club or association.
• Will be available
on Amazon when published and of course you will earn royalties on the sales.
Here’s one we made
earlier!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Britain-Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire-Attenborough-ebook/dp/B006FXVJY2/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1323247795&sr=1-2
We’ve already got
the ball rolling, have a look at this Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire route on
Amazon to get a better idea of what we are looking for. Click on the book to be
taken to Amazon’s website. You can purchase the guide in its full format for
£1.15 or reply to this email and we will send you a text copy minus photos, for
free.
If this idea
interests you and you would like to know more, please contact Steve Caron,
Managing Director for a chat about writing your own running guide.
