ECCA XC RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 31st October at Mansfield
Good luck to our women's team who are making the trip up to Nottinghamshire.
SURREY LEAGUES
The next League races are on Saturday 7th November. The men are back on
Wimbledon Common but hosted by Belgrave Harriers this time. Start times are
2.30pm for juniors and 3pm for seniors. Location and course map:. The women's races are at West
End Common, Esher. Seniors run at 12 noon, followed by juniors at 1pm and
1.30pm. Location and course map:. For both events all are
welcome and you can register on the day.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB
Following our stunning success in this season's first mob match last
Saturday, it's time to look ahead to the next. We are facing the might of
Thames Hare & Hounds on Saturday 28th November on their Wimbledon Common
course. Start time is 2.30pm. Technically this is an away fixture, but the
Thames HQ is no more than a couple of hundred metres from Richmond Park's
Robin Hood Gate, so it hardly counts as away really. We can expect Thames to
be stronger at the front of the field than Orion were, so that massive blue
wave of Ranelagh vests will be all the more important. Don't forget,
everyone needed, everyone counts. Join the Blue Wave!
VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON BALLOT
London Marathon organisers have substantially reduced the number of
guaranteed places on offer to clubs - citing the increase in "good for your
age" qualifiers, most of whom are club athletes. Our allocation has
accordingly been reduced to just two. If you have been rejected in the
public ballot and meet the club's qualifying criteria of having run in two
mob matches during the past twelve months (or run one and marshalled club
events twice), please contact our Hon Sec Wyn Williams wynfordwilliams@icloud.com before the Christmas Party on 5th
December.
KEN POWLEY...
...was knocked off his bike the day before the mob match and was very sorry
to miss such a momentous occasion. Fortunately the damage seems to be
confined to severe bruising, but he can't get out and about for the moment.
We all wish him a speedy recovery. In the meantime we had to resort to old
fashioned paper and pencil methods to produce the result on Saturday!
SUBSCRIPTIONS...
...for 2015-16 are well overdue but there are still quite a few active
members who have not yet paid. The club is unable to register you with
England Athletics unless your subs are paid up. Despite the increase in the
EA registration fee to £12, we are keeping our subscription rates unchanged
for at least another year. That's £40 for seniors, £20 for second-claim
members and those who are retired and over 60, £10 for under 20s and
students and non-running members. There is also a £70 family membership.
Post your cheque to Membership Secretary, Ranelagh Harriers, 135a Petersham
Road, Richmond, Surrey TW10 7AA or leave it in an envelope at the clubhouse.
A Standing Order form is available from our website here: . For Bank Transfers, our

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
HAROLD LEE CUP MOB MATCH v ORION HARRIERS Saturday 24th October 7.67 miles
in Richmond Park
Phil Killingley reports:
"We start the 2015-16 season with a record 7-match winning run in mobs,
having won all four for the first time ever in 2014-15, and having broken
our 30-year bogey run in Epping Forest. What more is there to achieve, you
might ask? Satisfied we are not (as Yoda from Star Wars might say). This
year we set out to retain our winning run as long as possible, and see if we
could get 100 people out at the first fixture, vs Orion at home. Otherwise
known as 'Operation Centurion'. If we did that, we might also sneak over
our record mob turnout - 106 people vs Blackheath in 1988.
There was no room for complacency. Orion had beaten us in Richmond Park two
years ago. They had sworn vengeance for Operation Betelgeuse last year, and
were posting videos of Orion members chanting traditional songs on YouTube
to motivate their faithful, promising double points for this away fixture,
and bringing a coach-load. Nor did the omens look good - Ranelagh
statistician and general legend Ken Powley was knocked off his bike the day
before, preventing him from supporting the fixture.
But down at the clubhouse on Petersham Road at 2pm, things were looking up.
Although Orion had arrived, bringing a very decent away turnout of 50
people, Ranelagh had logged more than that already on the scoresheets - Alan
Hedger scribbling furiously to record them all. By the time we had to get
up to the start, we were still some way short of 100, with 89. Would there
be others waiting to register up the hill?
Alan strode over the road in the park with his clipboard towards the great
oak tree surrounded by runners preparing themselves to mob. A huge crowd of
Ranelites swarmed towards his blue-capped figure and your captain knew
immediately that we had done it! In total we turned out 117 starters -
beating the club record by 11.
Cindy Croucher's video on Facebook records the superb mob chant for
posterity. Christopher Camacho replied to that post: 'It was so loud I could
just about hear some sound without wearing my implant processor and that
says a lot!'. Then off we ran down a dry-underfoot Queen's Ride towards
the ballet school in pursuit of glory.
The first time the new course was run in October 2013, Boniface Kongin, a
guest runner, ran it in 41:37. That was beaten last November by Ralph
Street's 41:30. Jon Pepper decided to do the minimum needed to pinch
Ralph's crown, winning yesterday's race in 41:29. Having dumped his car in
Balham, and sprinted to the clubhouse from Richmond to beat the traffic, it
was his second race of the day.
Waves of blue followed thereafter. 7 in 10. 13 in 20. 19 in 30. 25 in 40.
30 in 50. 36 in 60. 43 in 70. And so it went on. And on. Ranelagh's
dominance showed in the final scoreline of 1715 to 2909, bemusing our Orion
competitors.
The women's race was won by Orion's Mestawet, with Becky Hall second and
Gwen McCormack not far behind in third. Ranelagh's women's contingent was 31
strong (another record?), versus 9 from Orion.
There are far too many to name, but I should record the Ranelagh Veteran
Champions: Peter Haarer won the V40s with a numerically pleasing time of
44:44; Trevor Maguire wasn't very far behind to take the V50s, and Chris
Owens, our bronze world triathlon champ, the V60s. The force of the mob was
strong in Simon Burrell, who ran with what he described to me before the
race as a "mild stress fracture" in his foot - wishing him a speedy recovery
and a better choice of adjective. It was also strong in the many people
running the challenging 7.5 miles for the first time, and in those who came
out despite injury or illness to marshal or support - your efforts are much
appreciated.
But the force of the mob was strongest in our numbers across men and women,
young and old, fast and slow. This is an event that brings us together as a
club and you should all be proud of your place in Ranelagh history.
Finishing with a message from the Orion captain. 'Orion had a thoroughly
enjoyable day and although we didn't get the result we wanted the spirit and
the fun of the mob matches was there for all to see'."
The race incorporated a sealed handicap within the vets championship. For
reasons of space we'll hold over the full result until the next e-news
(though you can see it on our website here: ). Winner was Bert
Grieco, with Chris Read and Peter Fordham filling the minor places.
A few historical notes: that former record turn-out of 106 was on the 16th
January 1988 when we hosted Blackheath Harriers. They turned up with a
remarkable 92 runners. As we were housed in temporary accommodation at the
time, we borrowed the Richmond Canoe Club's changing rooms for the
afternoon. 1982 London Marathon winner Hugh Jones led Ranelagh's team but
was beaten into second place by the heathens' Tim Nash. 89-a-side scored,
and from a total count of 14,554 points we lost by a margin of 114. Six of
the 1988 team were in action again today: Gordon Whitson, who finished 13th
back in '88, Peter Haarer 24th, Bill Harvey 28th, Mike Peace 34th, Clive
Naish 41st and David Wright 50th. Only Peter, 19 at the time, has improved
with the passage of 27 years! Ranelagh had only nine women in the race,
Blackheath even fewer. Sonia Rowland was the leader.
SURREY COUNTY MASTERS (aka VETERANS) CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 17th October in
Richmond Park
As usual, we hosted the Surrey Masters championships but officials, results
and medals etc were in the hands of Surrey Athletics. There were two races,
firstly a 6km for men over 60 and all women, then a 10km for men 40-59. The
first race was the bigger of the two, with 110 finishers as against 84 in
the 10km. There was a slight hiccup in the first race as the leading M60s
and women went slightly off course, but they were quickly called back and no
damage was done. 62 year-old Bob Bradbury from Woking dominated and finished
a good half minute clear of second-placed Ian Kitching of SLH. A similar
distance behind in third place, and securing Ranelagh's first medal of the
afternoon, was Chris Owens. 17th overall, and winning the M70 class, was
Hercules Wimbledon's former rock star, King Crimson guitarist Peter Giles.
Ranelagh's new M60 David Powell unluckily missed the start by at least half
a minute but fought his way through to the top half of the field. He and
Mike Peace closed in the Ranelagh M60+ team, which was initially placed
joint third before corrections to the results pushed them down to fifth. Tom
Reay followed, and then Allan Lang who won a "virtual" gold medal in the M75
class.
The leading women Nikla Sturzaker of Herne Hill and Nicola Richmond of
Dulwich battled it out to the line in third and fourth places overall - but
both came away with golds anyway. Sturzaker won the W40 class and Richmond
the W45. Oddly the leading W35 was well behind them in ninth place. Leading
W50 in 19th place was Guildford's Susanna Harrison, pushing Marie
Synnott-Wells back into the silver medal spot. Bonnie Morgan came next,
leading our W35-44 team of herself, Karen Weir and Hannah Doyle into fifth
place. Deepa Sharma backed up the team. We thought we might have a chance in
the W45+ team competition and so it proved. Marie, Ellen Clague and Sonia
Rowland took the silver medals, and Sonia received another silver as the
second W60 home. Corinne Bishop was sixth in that category.
In the 10km M40-59 race it was South London's Stuart Major who as usual made
the rest of the field look very pedestrian indeed. Multiple gold-medallist
in this event, Stuart finished almost a minute and a half ahead of his
nearest rival and won the M45 gold. Third overall, and first M50, was
Guildford's Mark Tennyson. Again we had to go down the field a little before
the winner of the younger age group, M40, appeared. Ranelagh's first
finisher was Kris Davidson who placed 4th in the M40s, missing a bronze
medal by a single second. The M40-49 team was closed in seventh by Bruce
McLaren and Kevin Knowles. It was left to our M50-59 team to give us our
only gold medals of the day. A rapidly returning to fitness Trevor Maguire
led them in, taking the individual M50 bronze in the process. Then came
another excellent run from Colin Brett, 5th in the M50s, and then John Shaw,
4th M55. Providing backup not far behind were Richard Holme, Peter Weir and
Simon Burrell.

SOUTH OF ENGLAND AA CROSS-COUNTRY RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 17th October
at Wormwood Scrubs
Phil Aiken reports:
It was a Saturday morning in March, back in 2012, when I experienced
Wormwood Scrubs on my parkrun London tour. The Race Director pointed out
that tourists rarely came back. I described it as a bleak expanse of
football pitches overlooked by a prison, which possibly explains why. But 3½
years later, I was back. The South of England Cross Country Relays have made
Wormwood Scrubs their home and, with a full programme of races from U13 to
Senior, they offer an alternative to those who are not Surrey-eligible and
still young enough not be classed as a Master. Rugby traffic delayed
journeys into and through Richmond so both teams' declaration sheets were
completed and handed in with a member of each still to arrive. But arrive
they did. And with time to boot, too.
The Senior Women's race consisted of three legs of 3k, following the
perimeter of the Scrubs. Fresh from her top 15 finish at the opening Surrey
League race the previous week, Julia set off full of confidence, quickly
settling into second place. Not surprisingly she had dropped a few places by
the end of the lap, finishing in 8th place, three ahead of former Bath
University teammate, South London's Rachel Coe-O'Brien. Bracknell, Newbury
and Herne Hill occupied the podium positions. The Women's Captain took on
second leg responsibility. Like Julia, Becky ran the 8th quickest leg time
and, with Newbury unable to match their opening leg performance, we moved up
to 7th. Bracknell retained first place but, with no final leg runner, their
race was done. So second placed Belgrave now assumed the lead, ahead of
Barnet and Dulwich, who moved into contention thanks to Claire Elms, who ran
the fastest second leg.
It was left to Suzy to close things out. London Heathside lay 15 seconds
ahead. Less than that behind lay Winchester with one-time sub-2:40
marathoner Michaela McCallum and South London, with Steph McCall. Steph had
broken the Surrey Road Relay course record to claim gold, overturning a
significant deficit to Herne Hill. Today was no different. Starting 1'05"
behind Belgrave's Rose O'Brien, she passed all eight runners ahead of her
and crossed the line with a 17 seconds advantage, running the fastest time
of the day by 27 seconds. Belgrave held onto second but there was a real
scrap behind, with Heathside's Sarah Swinhoe running the 6th fastest time to
snatch 3rd from Dulwich by a mere three seconds. The gaps were too much for
Suzy to make up any places so we finished a highly creditable 7th in our
first appearance, though behind four other Surrey teams.
For our B Team, Gwen ran the opening leg just 35 seconds slower than Julia
to came home 14th. Elisa and Becky (a different one) gained valuable cross
country experience on legs two and three as we finished in 16th. Though
these relays may have the lowest profile of the half dozen road and cross
country events put on by the South of England AA, that's actually no bad
thing. It won't be another 3½ years before I come back."

BOURNEMOUTH MARATHON Sunday 4th October
Mick Lane fell a little short of his sub-3 target but placed second in the
M55 category. Mick has a special aim in mind: it's claimed in Runner's World
that the greatest span between first and last marathons under 3 hours is 36
years. Mick ran 2:44 back in June 1979, a couple of weeks after his 19th
birthday. So if he can slot in another sub-3 now he will at least equal that
record.
