4 striders made the 3 hour journey over to Llanberis for the 38th Snowdon International (fell) Race at a mere 10 miles (5 up, 5 down) and 3300ft of ascent this was meant to be a bit of fun. But with the scorching heat it proved quite tuff but a really good day out. With 600 entrants and international runners representing all of the UK, I think we all made a good effort in representing the Striders, so 1st in for us in 85th position in 1hr:32 was Steve Hawkins (he also would have been 9th in V40 class if he wasn’t called James Walker), 109th 1hr:35 Rob Donald, 156th 1hr:39 Marcel Darling and 224th 1hr:45 Shaun Cooper.  Followed by a paddling in the lake after, some of us even made it on TV too.

Derby Telegraph article
Kinder Downfall – Sunday 14 April
The latest race in the headbanger calender is Kinder Downfall at 10 miles and nearly 2000ft of ascent this is a hard run on any day. However with a virtually clear day but 30 mph winds this would prove to be a real test of strength and determination.

Six Striders had pre-entered the full to capacity race (a note to enter early) to see what the day would hold for them. I saw them about a mile in from the start of the first climb (photos on facebook shortly) and they were all smiles (James Walker in 7th Overall). I caught up with them again at Edale Cross 3 miles from the finish having made a start on the descent from Kinder, well they were looking rather battered but at least they had the wind behind them.

First in for the club (in just a vest!!) was James Walker: 29th, 1:23:13 which is a very respectable time given the conditions, followed in by Rob Donald 68th in 1:29:02.

First woman back in for the Striders was the very in form Gayle Gamble 198th in 1:47:54, followed in by Kate Wray 228th in 1:52:50. Christine Purslow in 280th in 2:14:03 and Sandra Butcher 282nd in 2:15:12. I think they benrfitted from my encouragement over the last 3 miles in, they will tell you differently. Thanks for the coffee & cake ladies but i’m not waiting for you next year, freezing but a really good event.
Wakefield 10K & Fun Run – Sunday 14th April
Following up last weeks perform the Pearch family were out in force. Sam came in 12th overall in 34:56. Whilst the kids, Callum & Bethany (new members this year) run the 1k. Callum got round in 5:30 & Bethany did 6:06. Looks like they run like their dad, rather fast.
Bournemouth Half Marathon & 5K- Sunday 7th April
Sam Pearch says he is not in good form but managed a mere 1:17:03 and was 5th overall in the Bournmouth half. Sam’s better half Cath ran her first 5k whizzing round in 30;13, well done to the Pearch family.
Four Inns Challenge – Saturday 6th April
Two of our Striders, Wayne & Luke Stevenson were members of the 3 man team, the ‘Banana Splits’ who were 10th/11th overall? in a mere 10 hours 6 mins. Don’t be fooled this is a 40 mile off road event over some of the roughest terrain in the peaks and Luke is only 16. This is a seriously impressive time guys, don’t think there are many in the club that could/would want to even do this. You may not remember but the Striders had a winning ladies team in 2011. Awesome result Banana Splits. Whats next Luke ‘Lakeland 50’, just kidding.
Stafford Half Marathon – Sunday 17 March

Yes he is off already, Dave Keegan was the only Strider to make it over to Stafford on this cold & dry day. Dave was 1088th of 2071 finishers and managed 1:54:07 and was the 8th in the V60 class.

Ashby 20 – Sunday 17 March

It was cold and wet, but this did not stop thirty Striders from completing the Ashby 20 mile road race. Many of whom are training for the London Marathon in April.

First back in 25th place was Steve Hawkins in 2 hr 7 minutes while John Thornton was 2nd fastest over 60.

Results – Patrick Munro 2:14. Marin Kerr 2:16. Steve Pezutti 2:16. Matt West 2:17. Paul Brunt 2:19. Gareth Brown 2:23. James Cunningham 2:27. Shaun Cooper 2:27. Neil Hancock 2:34. John Thornton 2:37.

Weston 5M & Fun Run – Sunday 24th February

Not as big a turn out as last year, it was freezing but dry. Was it warmer running or watching?

It was good seeing such a wide selection of Striders in action and a few PB’s, both Luke & Julie Stevenson. Any others let me know.

Fun Run
As you can see a massive well done to Clodagh on a very impressive result, watch out adults. In addition there were a number of very tiny members flying the clubs colours and I think it may have been the first race for some, so a massive well done to you all as well.

Well, a BIG well done to all that showed up, ran your guts out, helped with the tent and Christine P who brought the flap jack, delicious must have had 5 pieces. Here are the results for the grown up’s, kids to follow when I get them. This is still really confusing !!

Men: Finished 5th (we can do better,surely) on the day but are top of league 2 by 2 points.

Women: Finished 2nd on the day and are top of league 2 by 1 point. Massive result keep going!!

As a team we came 2nd on the day but are still top of league 1 by a single point over Hatton Darts.

Note; the team that beat us on the day was Hermitage who are top of league 2.

Guys, come on. Our girls are showing us how it should be done, we really need to be fielding a stronger team on Sunday 17th. I know there are some injuries but some of you are soooo good you can run on Saturday and Sunday, please turn up if you can.

These are really confusing but will have a go.On the day

 

  • We slipped down to 3rd
  • The men were 1st in league two.
  • The ladies managed to beat the Derby Tri team (for the 1st time) to be 1st in league two, massive result.

The overall standings are:

  • Striders are still (just ) topping the overall team standing (both leagues).
  • The men are still 1st in league 2, we need to bet those runners from Beaumont in the next race.
  • The ladies are still 2nd in league 2, we need to get past the Derby Tri team in the next race.

A massive well done, it shows that it is not about been the fastest runner but what we do as a team and in the first instance we have to turn up
