Maidenhead Half, Regents Park 10k, Derwent Water Trail and various

It was a fairly routine weekend for our runners, with not much to report other than some road races and various parkruns.  The triathlon season is winding down and the cross country season is yet to begin!  There were, however, some excellent results at the Regents Park 10k with Jim Connell breaking 40 minutes for the first time and another cracking run from the unstoppable Cathy who was the second female finisher of the day.  Caroline White and Jo Irwin also had good runs, finishing first in their respective age categories.  Tom Stephenson ran an impessive time at the Maidenhead half marathon finishing with a PB of 74min12secs.  We also have a PB from Mike Bironneau of 38min03sec at the Bedford 10k. 

We are also delighted to see an excellent result from Ursula, who is now living down under, at the Dubbo half marathon.  

Laura Boothman reports she is a convert to trail running and enjoyed her debut up in the Lake District at the 15km Derwentwater Trail Race and Jesper and Gavin had solid runs at the South Cheshire 20.  

With the end of the triathlon season approaching there were a couple of results to report - Sandra Buckton completed her first half ironman with great success, and Dominic took part in the Diamond triathlon at Dorney lake.   

With the cross country season heading our way fast please can you all put the following in your diaries - on the first  Saturday morning in October we will be running an introduction/refresher to cross country running session.  This will be a training run followed by training and racing tips - venue is likely to be Hampstead Heath and absolutely everyone is welcome. Details to follow.
