Bromley Vets 5 XC race, Great Bentley Half Marathon
Posted by Nolan in Everything Else, Monday Musings, Races & Reports on March 19th, 2012
Beckenham sent an elite squad of vets to the Bromley vets 5 mile race this weekend, as modesty prevents Andy from bragging… I’m pleased to inform you all that the spritely trio of Stuart Scott, Andy Hinds and Ken Baksh won the team prize! Gail also took 2nd place in the lady race. Congratulations.
Elsewhere Will and Mel ran the Great Bentley Half marathon 1:25 and 1:34, I think Will has been lying to us about his age…he’s clearly 37! Results
Anyone else race?

Half Marathons
Over in Bath, Jim Addison notched up a solid 1:16 at the Bath Half Marathon, whilst down south in deepest darkest Kent, Kate Marchant produced an excellent PB of 1:34 at the Lydd Half Marathon, fair reward for all the manic hill running she’s done of late! Also running at Lydd was
Daniel Bently – Gouldstone 1:22
& Sophie Bishop 1:37.

Club Championship – Petts Wood & Cross Country
Posted by Nolan in Cross Country, Grand Prix, Races & Reports on October 10th, 2011
Petts Wood 10k
For the second GP in a row, Jim finished in another impressive 2nd place, however the burning question on everyone’s lips, who was Stuart Slot? It seems abit of a misunderstanding meant that the men’s team prize slipped from under our noses thanks to registration problems. You win some you lose some. But in any case the ladies had a good turn out and won the women’s team prize with Helen maintaining her good form and finishing in 5th and 1st V45. Club Championship age grading results will be announced at the Christmas Dinner! Results
Kent League Cross Country Race 1.
Due to the ladies and most of the men, saving themselves for Sundays club championship at Petts Wood, there was a poor turnout for the 1st Kent League XC race in Swanley. But at least we were able to field a 4 man mens team. The course was fairly tame for a cross country race, ie pretty flat with no mud. The standard was very high so a 16th place for Chris Minns was a good run. Next up is the slightly more challenging hills of Tonbridge on the 29/10/11. Results
Grand Prix: Switchback 5
Posted by Nolan in Grand Prix, Races & Reports on September 28th, 2011
