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).

Official Time:
57:58

Part two in the trilogy of Jaguars 10k races.  This year the medals all join up to make an RAF roundel and each medal has one of the aircraft that were based at RAF Coltishall.  The second medal having the English Electric Lightning (the first – The Mad March Hare – having the Gloster Javelin).

Today, although it was overcast, it was rather warm for the two lap race (thank goodness the sun didn’t come out until it was finished!).

Official Results:
Lucy Mc – 53:30 PB
Adam S – 53:31 PB
Mark – 53:34 PB
Kerrie – 58:08
Chris P – 1:03:08 PB
Lynne – 1:08:16
Claire – 1:09:24

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.

A rather warm run in Swaffham today.

Well done to numbers 12, 13 and 14!

There were a few organisational issues it would appear, but a number of PBs shows it was a quick course.

Official Times:
Cat – 48:53.6 – PB – Class Winner
Ceri – 1:02:43.9 – Class Winner
Chris – 1:09:05.7 – PB – 2nd in Class

A fantastic showing by Runners-next-the-Sea at the Glebe House Super Sprint Triathlon in Hunstanton.  A special mention goes to Hayley for her first Tri (I’m guessing it won’t be her last!).

Official Times:
Ant – 50:26
Mat – 51:02
Paul – 1:04:28
Libby – 1:10:52
Hayley W – 1:12:45

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

Phew!  What a scorcher!

Well done to everyone who took part in a very warm GEAR today.  With temperatures into their 20’s and the amount of entrants, it was a difficult but very very enjoyable run!

Official Times:
Mat – 40:59
Cat – 52:12
Hayley – 53:06
Mark – 55:44
Adam – 55:45

*Honorary RntS for the day!

        

Well done to Nur who got a great new PB at the Stirling Marathon.

Looks like you had some lovely weather for it!!

Official Time:
4:29:58

Following the postponement of the original MMH (from March, not surprisingly) a slightly reduced team made it to RAF Coltishall for the rescheduled run.    This event being the first in the trilogy of runs for the RAF Centenary year organised by the Jaguars.

A grey, cold and drizzly day greeted everyone, but once the event started, only the wind really caused issues (You can tell why it was an airfield!  From KM 7 to just over KM 8 it was a head wind as we ran down the runway!).

Some good event PBs were gained today.  Only 6 weeks until we’re there again!

Official Times:
Adam S – 53:41
Lucy Mc – 53:41 PB
Mark – 53:58 PB
Kerrie – 58:05 PB
Lynne – 1:07:43 PB
Claire – 1:07:48

Brilliant runs by David (who should maybe be renamed Mr Consistent) and Robert (completing his 26th time) in the hot hot hot Virgin London Marathon Today.

Well done guys.  Same again tomorrow David?

Official Times:
David – 4:44:11 PB
Robert – 6:25:53
