Another tremendous turn-out from PRC at Clay Bank East this morning.  I daren't try to list everyone because I am bound to miss someone.  There were over 15 of us there, including Super Chauffeuse Sissons who hurt her ankle walking dogs this morning but still drove a car full of contenders to the race.

The big news is the Ladies won the team event.  We've been expecting this to happen sooner or later and today was the day!  The prime scorers were Kim, Lorraine and Lynn but the way the scoring works, all lady finishers will have contributed to the cause by knockin

Greetings All,

The Gazette & Herald are going to do a newspaper article about the Beginners' Course that we are planning to run in the Spring (update due at progress meeting this week).  They want to include a photo of club members, solely to bring the article to life I think. 

They have asked me to try to arrange a photo shoot for this Saturday.  Options are to meet in Malton at 11:30am, or meet in Pickering at 12noon.  These times tie in with the professional photographer.  I hope that several of you will be able to make yourselves available.&

Hello All,

I believe that there is a Beer Festival coming up at Suddaby's Crown Hotel and I think it might start on Thursday 8th December (tbc).

Given that we are running in Malton that evening, do you think we'd want to poison our beautifully fit and honed bodies with a strange ale or two afterwards?

Andy.

Does anyone know where I can pick up results for Ampleforth Trail Race from the 9th October?  I've done a couple of searches on the internet but can't find anything for 2011.

Once again I was proud to wear the green running vest with such a large squad of folks in the Levisham/ Saltersgate Fell Race.  Forgive me if I have missed anyone but I think we had 10 out of the 83 entries; 4 men and 6 women, so we would actually enter 3 full teams (1 male, 2 female).  And we were beautifully spread throughout the field - I would imagine most people could have seen a green vest ahead and (if they glanced back) one close behind too.

I will not give too much away ahead of my press article but let's highlight Mike Hetherton, restored to his former glori

Does anyone know where I can obtain our results for the Bransdale Fell Race? 

For those who missed the event, it was a great course and a very enjoyable outing to the back of beyond.  Category winners were the ever dependables - Mike Hetherton and Philly Hare!

Some interesting wildlife was on view, for example a stoat (or was it a weasel?) watched me have a pee.  But no sign of the lesser-spotted Nick Cousins, despite all the clamour in advance of race day.

Andy.

Greetings All,

Unfortunately the Gazette did not print the report I provided this week.  It was a mid-season report on Nick, Mike H and John Butler’s efforts in the Summer Fell Race Series.  I’ll try

For those not lucky enough to make it to Wistow for the YRRL 10k, I have to say I have never felt prouder to be a member of a sports club (and I've been in a few).

There was another large batch of personal bests achieved.  And everyone clearly gave it everything.  There was such a collective buzz of achievement.

No Pickering runner was overtaken in the final stages of the race because of the cacophony of encouragement yelled at them by the rest of the squad (Dan easily the loudest).  You should have seen the sprints that Dean, Malcolm and Syd produced to

Greetings!

There were plenty of good performances at the Easingwold 10k this week.  Andy (Botham), Lynn, Sam and yours truly all managed PBs.  Peter got under 43mins.

My Garmin reading says we did 10.10 km.  I wonder what other people made it?

Andy H.

Has anyone got a good photo of Vanessa from the 10 in 10 that I can include with latest newspaper report?

I need it by end of Monday to meet the Gazette's deadline.

Thanks, Andy.
