White Horse Half Marathon Results

Well done to all those who braved the wind and rain in the Vale of the White Horse, either to run or support. By rights it shouldn't have been a day for PBs, so honourable mentions go to Tristan for beating his by 7 minutes, and to Chris, Lee, Ben and Arthur, whose PB was officially 'hard-earned'. If anyone else set a PB, please let me know.
 
Congratulations also to Hannah and Kate for their category prizes, and for ticking the box.

Cholsey Chase Results

A small ERR turnout at Cholsey meant that it was something of a joker-fest among the men. Well done to Tess for leading our category-winning ladies Kate and Jacky home. According to the chip timing they were separated by 24 hundredths of a second.

Harwell Cross Country Results

A massive well done to everyone who competed in the final cross country of the season at Harwell. Hannah went one better than ever before by outsprinting Witney's Frankie Snare to finish second in the women's race, and delighting her band of supporters in the home straight (fortunately, it didn't 'kick off' between us and the Witney fans). This also meant that she won the Senior Ladies' title for the season as a whole. A strong debut from Anna, and excellent 3rd ERR place from Tess helped the ERR ladies to finish 5th in Division 2 on the day, and 6th for the season, which should hopefully mean they retain their Division 2 status for next season.

The ERR men also excelled themselves by finishing 3rd in Division 1 on the day, and a strong 5th for the season. Mark Baker also improved on his previous best by finishing 16th, and Chris shrugged off the fact that he had run 31 miles the day before to make the A team.

As I said, this was a fantastic effort by all concerned. I just wonder what Ben is going to do for the next 8 months...

Winslow 10k Results

A cold and breezy day at Winslow, so a pretty good ERR turnout all in all, and some excellent performances among them.

Robert set what may well be the first of many club MV50 records in finishing 4th, Chris followed him home in an impressive PB, Nick made his 10k debut, apparently (what has he been doing all this time?), and well done to Tristan for also setting a PB.

The official results show 2 entries for 'Tess Evans'. Naturally I've gone for the faster of the 2, but if you have any idea who the other one was, please let me know.

Cirencester Cross Country Results

A longer report from Ben will follow, but here are a few highlights in summary.

Firstly, well done to Florence in the most junior category (ok, it wasn't quite her debut), and her mother Tara for improving by over 4 minutes compared to this race last year.

The ERR men's team finished 4th in Division 1 on the day, which is the best result I can remember (can any Creasey brothers think of a better one?), and now lie 5th for the season. The ERR women finished 8th in Division 2 on the day, and are 6th for the season overall.

There were 135 women finishers on the day, and 207 men.

Culham Cross Country Results

A smallish turnout at Culham meant that it was something of a joker-fest, which I'm sure wasn't the idea when this was added to the fixture list. Anyway, the men's team still had an excellent day, finishing a creditable 6th in Division 1 on the day (and not far behind 5th), to stand 7th overall for the season. The ladies struggled without Hannah, and finished 8th in Division 2 on the day, 6th overall for the season.

Well done to Mark Baker for leading the men home, but the Good Egg of the Day award has to go to Andy Goodwin, who went all the way to Banbury to run, only to find that there wasn't anyone there (something to do with reading the wrong year's fixtures). Commitment to the cause, albeit in the wrong direction.

157 finished the women's race, and 255 finished the men's.

Here is the Captain's Log (courtesy of Ben), followed by the results:

It was great to see such a hearty turnout from the ladies, who fielded 10 runners, welcoming Lucy Natarajan for her debut XC, which I gather she did enjoy quite a bit. Team-wise the ladies sorely missed Hannah Hale, unfortunately laid low by a winter bug, and we wish her a speedy recovery and return to the fold soon. And well done too to all the others who seem to always, or nearly always, be there, come rain or shine: Tess Evans, Kate Williamson, Nicola Coppuck, Samantha Harrison, Esther Muir, Lesley Parry-Jones, Elaine Butler, Gemma Ferrier and of course their Skipperess Jacky Pinnock.

There was continued excellent commitment from the Men's A squad, who were almost at full strength, alongside B team ever-present stalwart Simon Walker, and also Steve Butler who continued his 100% competition record this season too. Several VM 50+s ran as well: Mark Creasey, Martin Johnson, Keith Baker and Robert Hale - a good reflection on the club and good for team morale too.

The performance of the day, without a doubt, went to Keith's son Mark Baker who finished a brilliant 28th place (out of 254 finishers), just ahead of our perennial #1 Robert Storey, both of them bearing down steadily on the so-called 'elite' runners towards the top of the pack. Special mention should also go to Under 20 runner Matt Ray, who cemented his place in the A team with a gritty run, crossing the line in 90th place, as 6th ERR finisher.

Eynsham Men's team as a unit continue to run with strength, comfortably beating both Cirencester and Woodstock. The overall series positions are tightening up considerably and Eynsham A are facing a real battle now in the last two races to retain their Div. 1 status, so let's have a good solid month's training chaps!

In honesty, it was disappointing that we had our lowest overall men's turnout for 2 years (just 14 runners), with one or two entire potential B teams absent, but I am confident we can reverse this blip. I am a firm believer in  building a club/team momentum steadily together, resolving to develop strength in depth, as (in my opinion) one can really derive inspiration (and enjoy the perspiration more) when our efforts include but also expand to something bigger than our own individual goals. I wonder what full-strength Men's B, C and D teams would be like? Talented, I would say.

Remember that we do all share in each other's successes.

Andy Reading 10k Results

Some fantastic performances at the Andy Reading, with excellent PBs for Chris, Arthur, Marie and Tess, although pride of place has to go to Simon for finally nailing that elusive sub-40 minute 10k, which I think he was quite pleased about. In case you're wondering, all jokers are placed in the final race if they haven't already been played. If I've missed any PBs, please let me know.

Harcourt Hill Cross Country Results

A course of 2 halves at Harcourt Hill: a fairly flat gallop on the grass around the sports pitches, then a proper muddy romp through the woods. Welcome to Antonio to his first British Cross Country, which apparently is rather different from the Spanish version. 

Well done to Hannah for her 3rd place, leading the Eynsham ladies to 4th place in Division 2 on the day, while the ERR men overcame a few notable absences to finish 7th in Division 1. Thus far for the season, the our ladies are 6th and the men 7th.

There were 132 finishers in the women's race, and 248 in the men's.

Eynsham 10k Club Results

As ever, a massive thank you to pretty much the whole club, who turned out to help make the 2014 Eynsham 10k as popular and successful as ever. To quote the only review I've found so far on Runner's World:

Can't fault anything. Organisation is second-to-none and the marshals did a wonderful job.

Among the runners there were some fantastic performances. Congratulations to Robert for securing the Oxon County Grand Prix title for 2014, and to Hannah for beating her own club record and finishing 2nd overall in the Grand Prix ladies' category.

Well done to all the others who set PBs, or made their debuts at the distance. If I've missed anyone, please let me know.
