Malta Half – A clean sweep of the “second lady vets” award(s)

Congratulations Mel for getting second lady Vet in the 1,400 strong malta half marathon in testing ( e.g. lovely and hot ) conditions.

I would post a link to the results here, but there is a delay, which may, or may not, and Im only saying “may” be caused by the lead car taking the front four runners off the course, and then only getting two of them back again!

Well done Kate

On pain of pain, I have promised to big up Kate’s achievements at the Wheaton Aston 10k – first female vet and 9th chick overall.

WELL DONE KATE

Maybe kate you would like to dazzle us with a race report?

They seemed funny at the time….

Thanks all for the entries to the caption competition at the chrimbo dinner. Here are the “highlights”….

cap1

 Annual walking-stick race veers off course

Ferar refuses to admit short-cut was a failure

Once again Andy leads us up sh*t creek, but at least this time we have a stick

2009 Club trip dissapoints compared to 2008

How dirty would you like it?

The Ladies’ showers flood again

“I told you the Green Belt Relay was tricky. I think Jim went that way”

Beckenham Runners search unsuccessfully for Dulwich Runners’ sense of humour

The search for Ben’s ancestors proves fruitless

Another Green Belt wrong turn

 

 

cap2

Beckenham take an embaressing wrong turn during “reclaim the streets”

“Surely one of you can ride a bike without stabilisers?”

They should have said it was quick-drying cement

Take me for a ride!

Beckenham try the Madission, but are too distracted by lovely “SideBurns” Jason (Yummy)

See, I told you cycling was easy.

Kate adamantly points out she is NOT a “little teapot” - several variations on this one and the hokey cokey, macarena, etc 

“Beckenarama” Beckenham’s own bananarama tribute band, work out a new routine

“And…” – Some kind of existentialist contribution there.

Nobody told me it was fancy dress

How many times do I have to tell you we dont support the Dutch football team

Anyone else for running camp?

Thats right, its “Big” John, now form an orderley queue.

Who has the best massage technique

I mean… its not even as though its that cold.

Beckenham knocked out by JLS in the X-factor heats

When Andy loses his contact lens, we all suffer.

“Bottoms Up” From Beckenham Runners

Local Runners warm up for Annual Farting Competition. “We do it for the crack!” A spokeperson says.

Go through that again John. Where do babies come from?

Website updates

I’ve finally got round to testing out my shiny new administrator rights on the webite – Ive had a lot of feedback the the pages are too “busy” so Ive started by removing a lot stuff from the edges. If you feel Ive gone too far and want something back, let me know.

I’ll be tinkering with the  site over xmas, so hopefully it will be easier to find your way around.

Cheers

Piece of cake # 3 – This time it’s serious

Congratulations all who took part in the 3rd “piece of cake” 1.5 mile time trial.
Warm up run at the Piece of Cake#3
Unfortunately, a combination of exhaustion, south-west winds, deterioration in road surface, wrong use of bike, wrong use of gears, etc etc, mean that we failed to break the world record this time. The fact that Nolan wasn’t here may have been a factor.
Anyway, the results are below.  Next time trial at a date to be announced.
 
 

 

Name Left Leg Right Leg
Will 4.35 4.09
Ben 4.14 4.15
Simon 4.24 4.24
Andy 4.34 4.37
Mel 4.41 4.45
(note:uncomfortable run-in with learner driver)
Smalls 4.45 4.36
(note:Smalls failed to be disqualified this event. However we continue to scour the rulebook for infractions)
Jen 4.56 5.01
(a 2nd time that’s Jen has qualified for the Levi’s award)
Nicky 5.04 5.00
Colin 5.05 5.06
Gail 5.42 5.32 
(note: not only was Gail the best improver, but by common consent it was believed she had the heaviest bicycle)
