A couple of running events with club members taking part today:

Well done to Cam who took part in the 8.9 mile Chase the Train run at the Bure Valley Railway (it looks like he did it!). Super running Cam!

A brace of RntS decided to venture almost to the opposite side of the country from Cam to take part in the Sublime Swaffham 10k. Well done Paul and Charlotte. Top efforts all round.

Paul – 47:15.6
Charlotte – 1:09:34.3

Blue skies and sunshine, very different to yesterday and a lovely morning for the RntS who took part in the Dereham 10 Mile race. (Maybe a tad too warm – it certainly was whilst standing at the 5.5 mile point).

A brilliant showing from the trio of ladies today, well done.

Official Times:
Paula – 1:21:35.7
Hayley W – 1:32:41.6
Kirsty – 1:43:53.0

Usually, it’s not too difficult to herd a bunch of RntS into one spot, but when there’s upwards of 3000 people in a small(ish) market place and around 2500 of those are in running gear, you can’t sometimes see the wood for the trees!

Hence, when the photos appear, you’ll note that some RntS are in one or both of the group pictures, but we didn’t manage to get one of everyone together.

This year the weather was much kinder that the scorching heat of last year (although at points it was rather warm today). Thanks to that there were some very good times from members including a few PBs.

Today also heralded the first ever test of the ‘Full Club Kit, Holiday and Body Bag, Bag Drop Bag!’

Cat – 51:07

Great running by Ceri and Chris P who went to their ancestral home to take part today in the Newport Marathon (that will be 2 in 8 days!) and 10K, respectively. It’s a good job that they’ve been doing hill training (even if it was just to get to the start line!)

Official Times:
Ceri – 5:32:57
Chris P – 56:13

Well done to David who continued his brilliant preparations for this year’s Comrades by taking on the 6 lap Longhorn Ultra Marathon.

62k of training in the bag!
