LONDON MARATHON and MARATHON ACHES AND PAINS PARTY
Good luck to all our runners in Sunday's London Marathon. As usual we'll be
gathering in Janet Turnes's pub the Wych Elm on Sunday evening. There's good
beer and good food generously laid on by Janet so please come along.
Everyone is welcome, but If you've completed a marathon lately, whether it's
London, Paris, Brighton or anywhere else, do bring your medal (or medals in
some cases!). The Wych Elm is in Elm Road, Kingston.
RICHMOND HALF MARATHON Sunday 5th May starting at 8.30am
Our half marathon is only a couple of weeks away now, and we're still
looking for marshals, particularly in the Kingston area. Please volunteer
for a couple of hours' work if you possibly can. Contact
ranelaghhalfhelpers@hotmail.co.uk.
LONDON4BOSTON
Amelie Hunton, who is running her first marathon in London on Sunday,
started a London4Boston Twitter campaign to show London's solidarity with
the people of Boston and all those affected by Monday's tragic events. She
was asking people to wear a green ribbon to show their support. Here's a
link to the story on ABC news:. Amelie was interviewed on
Radio5Live on Tuesday and the campaign looked set to take off. However, the
London Marathon organisers subsequently announced that they would be asking
runners to wear black ribbons, so Amelie has stepped back.

McLEOD CUP and WOMEN'S PERFORMANCE AWARD
These two competitions are for points scored in all winter club races. The
Baker Cup handicap was the last of the seventeen scoring events. The very
clear winner of the women's award was Sandra Prosser who amassed an amazing
1276 points, almost 50% more than anyone else. Sonia Rowland was runner-up
on 860, with Becky Hall third on 798. Full scoreboard:.
It was a closer contest in the men's competition, but Trevor Maguire hung on
to his slender lead. He totalled 1232 points, ahead of Chris Camacho on 1203
and Steve Rowland on 1096. Scoreboard:.
POINTS PRIZE
This competition also reached its conclusion at the Baker Cup. It's for
consistency in handicaps and the winner was Mark Herbert on 19 points. Mark
just stayed ahead of Philippa Kitchen who scored the maximum 10 at the Baker
leaving her on 18 points. Third place went jointly to Phil Aiken and Chris
Camacho, both on 16. Bad luck to Chris on just missing out on two awards!

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
BAKER CUP 3 miles road handicap Saturday 6th April
Once again, thanks first of all to Ken Powley who continues to fill our
handicapping void. He had a field of over 50 to contend with today, mostly
regulars but with a smattering of new faces too. And as usual he did an
excellent job with nearly forty runners home within two minutes. However,
there was a surprising runaway winner...
First away from the start beside White Lodge was Deborah Blakemore followed
at ten seconds' distance by Paula Maguire and then by the rest of the field
over the ensuing twelve minutes. The quadruple out-and-back nature of the
course foreshortens the gaps, but if any of the faster runners thought they
would catch Deborah and Paula, they were to be proved wrong - with one
exception. To great acclaim it turned out to be Michele Gibson's day. Our
Social Sec put in a great run to forge past all those in front of her and
stride up the last hill a good half minute clear of the pack. That pack was
still led by Paula and Michele, but only just as a horde of runners bore
down on them. Paula was competing as a guest so missed out on the silver
medal which went instead to Deborah. Next across the line Prelini Chiechi
was also a guest so the bronze medal went to Peter Fordham.
Fastest time of the day was Trevor Maguire's 17.48 ahead of Ted Mockett on
17.56 and Niall O'Connor on 18.05. Fastest woman was Becky Hall on 19.42
followed by Juliet Edwards on 20.42 and Wiebke Kortum on 21.04. Winner of
the Jack Ellicock Trophy for the first under 18 in the handicap was Luke
Maguire.
In the evening we filled up the upstairs room at the Roebuck for our annual
prize presentations supper. Michele and Andy organised as efficiently as
ever, Mike White provided the beer and Alan Hedger provided an astonishing
array of newly polished and engraved silverware. Alan, Clive Naish and the
President saw to it that the cups found their way to their new owners.

MARATHON DES SABLES Sunday 7th - Friday 12th April in Morocco
Colin Brett and Si Martin did amazingly well to finish 76th and 213th out of
almost a thousand finishers in this, one of the toughest races on the
planet. With high temperatures and desert sands to contend with, competitors
are faced with four stages of near-marathon distance plus a near-double
marathon thrown in on the fourth day. Colin and Si finished day one together
but thereafter Colin forged ahead well inside the top hundred each day, with
a best of 56th on the murderous 81.5km fourth stage. More details to follow.

PRAGUE HALF MARATHON Saturday 6th April
On her Powerof10 profile page Michelle Davies lists her targets for 2013 -
sub 21min 5km, 42min 10km, 1:34 HM and 3:30 Mar. Well, Michelle ran 20.54
at the Gunnersbury parkrun last month and a big PB of 1:33.43 on chip timing
here in Prague. So that's two down, two to go! PB also for Mark Herbert.
1 Z Tadesse (Eritrea) 1:00.10 (chip time 1:00.10)

PARIS MARATHON Sunday 7th April
Ben Shore reports:
"Conditions could not have been much better for the Paris Marathon. Bright
blue skies greeted the 40,000 starters and while the day began cold, the
temperature by finish time was near perfect for fast running.
There were two stand-out performances amongst the six-strong Ranelagh
contingent.
Duncan Mallison, a veteran of eight marathons, finally nailed a sub 3.10
after a brilliantly judged race. He passed your correspondent at the 35k
mark, looking strong, and finished in 3.08.34. Having run 3.11 at his last
marathon in Seville, Duncan showed the benefit of experience, going through
half way in 1.34 and hanging on impressively in the hard yards towards the
end.
Catherine Jones, who was press ganged into Ranelagh membership by me just
one year ago, also performed extremely well. In February 2012 she ran 28
minutes at the Richmond parkrun, in Paris she managed 3.30.34 frustratingly
close to her intended sub 3.30. She lost about 90 seconds around kilometre
38 - 40 from painful knees, and despite pushing hard in the final stretch
couldn't get the time back. Cathy, like Duncan, does qualify for London on
the 'good for age' criteria so perhaps that's when unfinished business will
be dealt with.
Next up, Lars Lundqvist. Lars, was injured in the crucial period eight weeks
before the marathon when he would have liked to have been clocking up some
big runs and, despite a brave opening half (1.39), he didn't quite have the
legs at the end to complete the job of sub 3.20...coming in at 3.29.10. This
was still a significant personal best for Lars who only started running
seriously last year and must be a candidate for most improved Ranelagh
runner over the past twelve months.
Next up was Paul Rider, who produced an impressive 89 minute half marathon
at Eton just three weeks before Paris. Paul was on track for sub 3.10 time
at half way, passing 21k in 1.35. Sadly, like several of us on the day, he
blew up after 25k, coming home in 3.41.52. Commenting on the result Paul
said: 'I ran in Paris on Sunday. Well, the first 28k anyway. Not much of a
run, I'm afraid, but hopefully it will get me a point in the road grand
prix.' (It should be noted that if we had known he was running we would have
invited Paul for alcoholic commiserations at the end but alas the chance was
missed!)
Ian Grange again demonstrated his consistency, coming in in an extremely
creditable 3.49.10. His desire to keep banging out 26.2 miles is fast
becoming the stuff of club legend - a legend enhanced by the fact he went on
to run 3.51 at Brighton just a week later in very windy conditions. Has any
active member run more marathons than Ian?
Finally my own race didn't go to plan. Aiming for 3.07, I got half way in
1.33.15 but could feel myself dying as soon as I crossed the half-marathon
line. The last 7k were extremely difficult, and I only managed to finish (in
3.23.44) because I met another struggling Brit from Tunbridge Wells...we
walked for 30 seconds at each kilometre marker then hobbled/ran to the next
one. At the end I ended up in the medical tent for thirty minutes with
hyperthermia.
However, when I finally got to the hotel room I asked Cathy to marry me and
she said yes..so no harm done. Perhaps like other first time marathoners, I
swore I'd only do it once and am now reconsidering.
Good luck to everyone running London...now I really do know what you'll go
through."

parkrun MINI MOB MATCH Saturday 13th April at the Kingston parkrun
We had a turnout of 46 for the mini mob match, not bad considering we also
had 30-odd running the Towpath 10 the next day (a dozen or so gallantly did
the double) as well as another ten lining up for marathons. However, there
was one more Ranelagh vest reluctantly on show - worn by Stragglers' captain
Roy Reeder as a forfeit for losing to us in our Surrey Cross-Country League
B team competition. The extra runners from Stragglers and Ranelagh doubled
the average Saturday morning attendance here to 170, even though the
anticipated third mob from Kingston & Poly failed to materialise.
The Kingston parkrun course is tarmac at the start and end, with a section
of rough tow-path in the middle. Puddles were the main feature of that
tow-path section, accounting for relatively slow times. Strags provided the
winner in James Ruskin, but Marc Snaith filled the runner-up spot and Ted
Mockett and Nick Wright were close at hand in 4th and 5th places. That gave
us a good start, but thereafter Strags always had the edge, though there was
never very much in it. Counting 43 a side we lost by 1736 points to 2013.
THAMES TOWPATH 10 miles Sunday 14th April
The Towpath 10 was the first race in our 2013 Road GP, though quite a few
spring marathon marks have already been set too. At last we enjoyed some
fine weather, but the towpath remained very wet. Steve Whitehead was our
first man home in 9th place, and 3rd over 40. Trevor Maguire was not far
behind, then came Mark Herbert, Niall O'Connor and Stewart Anderson all
inside 70 minutes. Alberto Esguevillas was just outside 70, and then Marie
Synnott-Wells crossed the line in 7th place in the women's race and 2nd over
45. Juliet Edwards was 14th woman home and Phil Jackson and Peter Fordham
filled the top two spots in the men's over 60s class.
Steve Whitehead writes:
"It was good to have a run in warm conditions and although there was a
strong wind, it was tropical compared to the arctic blast of late. Good to
see a big turnout from Ranelagh; we all had an extended chat before the race
as the start was delayed by 15 minutes to allow everyone to use the toilets.
The race itself felt painful but a good workout ahead of the summer season."
BRIGHTON MARATHON Sunday 14th April
Becky Hall reports:
"A tale of two (other) halves.
Both Rob and I have seen big improvements throughout the last year in our
running times, partly through the continued hard work of the club putting us
through our paces at Tuesday sessions. Despite this, we both travelled to
Brighton with some trepidation about the forthcoming race: Rob because he
ran a stellar time and pb last year and the weight of expectation for him to
perform well again was high and me because this was to be the first time I
had raced over the marathon distance, having only run a few before at more
moderate paces.
On the start line I decided to try and temper my habit to go off too fast so
stuck with Rob for the first four miles, but then he told me to go on as I
was actually making him speed up too much as well. In my naive mind I was so
comfortable that I went on with a group of five or six guys who were having
some great banter. I should have known that I was in for trouble when just
past half way we caught up with the sub 3:15 pacer. Ah.
17 miles in and disaster struck, my legs just instantly turned to concrete.
I struggled on through the Hove loop up and back on a road that seemed to go
on forever with each mile getting slower. At mile 20, with a 9:52 mile to my
shame, I was all ready to pack it in, when who should call out my name, but
Rob!
Although he was tiring from the too fast start he was looking a lot better
than me. I decided to try and stick with him as long as possible and was
able to pick myself up again. Both of us struggled through the power station
loop and ran straight into the headwind for the final four miles. By then we
knew the sub 3:30 was still on and the sub 3:25 was possible, so we decided
that all being well we would cross the line together.
It seems only fitting really, we train together, we often finish races
within seconds of each other and although both of us could have done perhaps
a better time on the day with more realistic first halves, neither of us
felt we would have run those last miles as quickly as we did without our
better half by our side. As we crossed the line in 3:24:17, the announcer
called out that Hugh Jones was there and that made me very proud to be part
of the club that has been such a big part in our success. Thanks to all the
cheery, lovely, and committed Ranelaghs, hopefully we can carry on with our
improvements for some time yet, after a well earned break of course!"
