RESULTS
Results from Toulouse (from Ian Sanderson)
Ian
emailed "Big John was first to the finish and was sipping on a coffee (and
a beer) in Cafe Albert before the marathon runners had even set-off. Dan bust a
gut (?) to be the first strider home in the semi-marathon, Becky got a p.b. and Anne finished her first
half with a smile on her face. Clive cruised around the marathon course in
sub-3 hours and everyone else finished under 4 hours, which is pretty
impressive. Steph got a p.b. All-in-all a great tour,
and everyone (including the 8 supporters) had a good time, even those of us who
failed to get any cassoulet. Come and join us next year (wherever that may
be)!"

REPORTS
Worksop half marathon (from Chris Sawyer)
I ran the Worksop Half Marathon on Sunday 29
October. The route description says the race is also known as "the scenic
one" and it lived up to its nickname. The race starts and finishes at a
school about half a mile from the centre of town. It is held on closed roads
and more than half the race takes place within the Clumber Park estate.
Although not flat the course is only gently undulating with the only climb of
note within the first mile - you descend the hill again in the final mile. The
rewards for finishers are a Long Sleeve T-Shirt and medal - both Halloween
themed. The race was well organised but like many races these days there was a
10 minute delay at the start because of problems at registration.
My performance was 732 out of 2485 - gun
1:47:43 and chip 1:47:11. I think I was the only Valley Strider present.
