Well done to Evette who completed her first Triathlon event yesterday.
A great result (even if she does say she’s lacking bike handling skills).

Comrades Marathon 2018
Wow!
I’m writing this whilst watching the live freed of the Comrades Marathon 2018. The 12hr cut off gun has just been fired and that’s it! Finished! People are collapsing just before the line, some after running more than 90km, but not quite making it.
I’m very pleased to say that a certain David Sharp wasn’t one of them!
What a fantastic run! 90.184km in 11hrs 32mins.
I know that I wasn’t alone in tracking you today David. You had an awful lot of support back in North Norfolk and we’re all very proud of you.
Well done.
We look forward to seeing you when you get back.
Alex Moore Memorial Relay 2018
What a day! A fantastic event hosted by Norfolk Gazelles at the Skeyton Goat. For a day that started off very cloudy and muggy, it certainly got very hot, very quick (the sun decided to come out 5 minutes before the start!).
RntS placed four teams:
Team RntS (Paul, Mat, Ant)
Blood Sweat and Beers (Libby, Cat, Paula)
Kerrie and the Pacemakers (Kerrie, Mark, Allison)
Team 200 (Chris, Ceri, Robert)

Team RntS – 1:25:55
Blood Sweat and Beers – 1:48:07
Kerrie and the Pacemakers – 2:03:26
Team 200 – 2:13:03
It was a great day, finished off with a picnic prepared by Allison!
And we didn’t need a gazebo either!

The Archdeacon’s Charge and Picnic 2018
A brilliant day today at Holkham for the Archdeacon’s Charge and Picnic 2018 organised by the Diocese of Norwich. Well done to everyone who took part, especially Ant who come first and got the biggest bling of everyone (don’t know where he’s going to fit the ribbon to wear it though!). How he managed that time in this heat is anyone’s guess!
Isle of Wight Challenge 2018
Well done to Kevin and Evette who took part in the Isle of Wight Challenge during the May bank holiday weekend.
Kevin took part in the Full Island Challenge and Evette the First Half Island Challenge
Unfortunately, due to injury, Kevin had to pull out at the Northwood House timing point. Even so, on a hot weekend, 52km in is very good going!
Evette did fantastically and completed her event.
Great work both!
Official Times:
Evette – 9:05:02
Kevin – 7:58:37 – 52km
