 WHAT'S HAPPENED
 *************** 
 SURREY LADIES LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 11th February at Coulsdon
 The course kept away from the windswept Farthing Downs this year, but even
 down in Happy Valley it was bitterly cold with swirling snow flurries. This
 was the final League race of the 2016/17 season and we looked to consolidate
 our position mid-table in Division 1. Previous results had been a little
 topsy-turvy with an 11th in the opening race followed by two excellent 2nd
 places. We finished 8th today, moving up to 7th overall but only just over
 one hundred points behind 3rd place. 
 The always consistent Megan de Silva led our team in a solid 11th place with
 Jo Billings chasing hard in 17th. Suzy Whatmough was another half minute
 back in 25th place and then it was Julia Bailey and Marie Synnott-Wells in
 the 60s to close in the scoring team of five. Becky Northmore was right on
 Marie's heels, leading in our B team to 4th place today and 6th overall in
 the B teams contest. Junior Jess Harbert, Becky Curtis-Hall, another junior
 Cecily Day and Tamsin Burland made up the rest of the Bs, backed up by
 Claire Warner, Jess's mum Karen, Cecily's mum Clare and Jackie Dunkley.  
  
 
 2XU SURREY LEAGUE DIVISION 1  Saturday 11th February on Wimbledon Common
 Phil Killingley reports:
 "Well that was quite some race!  On Saturday morning, if you'd told me that
 we'd get 1st (Ralph Street) and 2nd place (Ben Anderson), I'd have been
 dancing about celebrating a second placed team in the league.  

 But Hercules Wimbledon, starting 29 points behind us in fourth, turned up
 and wiped the floor with everyone, closing their ten in 35, and scoring 215
 points.  First and second placed teams after three events - Kent and SLH -
 finished fifth and sixth this match - Kent were far enough ahead to keep the
 title but SLH dropped to a distant fourth. Thames pulled one out of the bag
 to grab second in 245 points, showing that talk of them being a spent force
 is premature, pushing Herne Hill down to sixth overall. With a resurgent
 Belgrave returning next year to Division One, things will be interesting
 indeed at the top. Clapham look shaky - although they survive, their total
 this year was 110pts worse than Ranelagh's in 2004/05 when we went down. 

 Ralph Street's return from Oslo, where he has reportedly been on a diet of
 threshold running and few intervals, was dramatic - an "easy" win for him.
 Ben Anderson continued his meteoric rise to storm into second. Out of twelve
 podium positions available this season across the four races, Ranelagh have
 taken an astonishing five. Jon Pepper has a first and two thirds to his
 name, though was out through illness today and so misses out having looked a
 dead cert for the individual Surrey League title. Peter Haarer moved from
 fourth in the V40s to bronze, only a couple of places off silver. 

 Jackson Creegan had his best ever SL finish in 13th, before a close knit
 trio of Richard Gregory, Carl Assmundson and Eirin McDaid snuck inside the
 top 30. Captain Killingley was harried by Haarer in 42nd and 50th, with
 Jordan Mungovan and James Winch running excellently to close the scoring. 

 Lots more blue vests poured in the next 45 seconds - any of them could have
 anchored us on a less star-studded occasion- Steve Whitehead, Al Whatmough,
 Sam Dalgleish and Nick Twomey with his best ever away XC result. There were
 strong runs too from those further down the field. 

 Off to the Fox and Grapes to celebrate a great season we went. We later
 found out we'd held onto third position in the league, equalling our best
 ever from the 1980s. Congratulations to all our runners and support team
 throughout the season on this splendid achievement - thank you all for the
 hard work and fun!!!"

 Tom Armstrong and Finlay Sinclair represented us ably in the Under 13s race
 in 7th and 31st positions.


 PELLING RATCLIFF CUP MOB MATCH v BLACKHEATH AND BROMLEY HAC  Sunday 19th
 February at Hayes
 Phil Killingley reports:
 "A warm front swept in over the weekend and Ranelagh were wondering whether
 it would sweep out our unbeaten record of 14 straight mob wins. Blackheath
 had fielded 60 in their last home fixture against us and we were thin on the
 ground. 
 
 I arrived at the clubhouse to find a minibus from Hounslow Community
 Transport already there, carrying 11 of our quickest and best under the
 superb 'carpool is cool' stewardship of Dave Lawley. Blackheath had the edge
 as their numbers crept up above 30, but more Ranelagh appeared out of the
 woodwork. And with 5min to spare before the start, an eye-bagged Carl
 Selya-Hammer who had raced 5 miles yesterday, partied till 3am, then run
 16.5 miles on the way to the race, pitched up to nearly level the teams at
 32 (us) - 33 (them). Carl proceeded to finish 14th.  He even remembered to
 hand me the Surrey League Anchorman Trophy to pass on to James Winch. What a
 legend!
 
 Chants complete (Blackheath's is probably the best mob chant after the
 Hobble Gobble; neither Thames or SLH seem to have one and Orion's runners
 are too busy trying to remember the words of theirs to really give it the
 welly that a chant needs), we raced off for a lap of the starting field
 before disappearing into the countryside.  Having run this twice before I
 shouldn't have been surprised by the steepness of the hills or the number of
 stiles, but I was. Memory blocks out painful things. 

 David Wright, Mike Peace and Clive Naish, 3 of our top 4 mobsters in
 attendance terms, had no excuse, having raced here countless times before,
 and raised their tallies further.  David turned 60 two days ago and now has
 168 mobs to his name (check out how many you've done here: ).  Inspired
 by these exemplars of mobdom, Ranelagh had a great race and recorded 13 of
 the top 14, peppering the field with more blue and amber after that.  It was
 an easy win in the end: B&B 1092 - RAN 738.  

 Highlights included:
 - Eirin McDaid winning the FB Thompson medal for his superb individual win
 in 47:47 
 - Nick Impey snatching 3rd on his birthday
 - Ryan Hogan - a boxing trainer, Eirin's protégé - been running one year and
 doing his first ever race in trainers to finish 4th
 - Seiko Angelo made hay whilst Peter Haarer is still the right side of 50,
 winning the V50 Harry Sheer trophy.
 - Paul Doyle's downhill kamikaze runs
 - Stephen Logue's sprint finish (to stay ahead of the closing Heathen)
 - Llew Davies' successful return to xc racing after the Surrey Road Relays
 in September - superb effort.

 So it's fifteen in a row, and a third straight season unbeaten.  Well done
 mobsters and supporters all of you - what a fantastic achievement!

 us need to work on our stile clearance technique and I include myself in
 that!)"

 WADSWORTH TROG  Saturday 4th February at Hebden Bridge
 A 19 miles fell race featuring 3,650 feet of climbing is just Nic Jackson's
 cup of tea. Running in Preston colours she finished an outstanding 11th
 overall, just 14 minutes behind the winner and over half an hour ahead of
 the second woman! The race literature has an interesting note for those
 planning to recce the route before race day: "If you are doing any running
 over the route please be aware that there are shoots on a Saturday and it
 would be advisable if you could run the route on a Sunday. Many Thanks."

 EVAC / SVAC / VAC MASTERS INDOOR TRACK MEETING  Sunday 12th February at Lee
 Valley
 Trevor Maguire reports:
 "Whilst stuck in injury limbo recently I was seeking something new to look
 forward to when injury(s) cleared up.  As a veteran runner I noticed that
 there are a few indoor track meets for masters (as veterans are now called).
 So I signed up for a couple of races in a Eastern/Southern/London Masters
 (EVAC/SVAC/VAC) meeting in the Lee Valley indoor stadium as a way to ease
 myself back into fitness.  It was an interesting experience but not as
 genteel as I'd hoped.

 My expectations weren't that high as I'm not really training properly yet 
 and I favour longer/tougher races.  But I've had a few sessions on a
 Thursday night at the club night at Osterley track (room for more if anyone
 wants to come along) and in the past I've done a few low key outdoor track
 races (including some county-level masters).  Generally the standard is
 competitive but there is a range of ability on show and I've been in the
 mix; so I'm not a total novice at racing shorter distances.  As I
 discovered, racing indoors is a little different.  There were a lot of old
 but serious sprinters, runners and throwers; with no zimmer-frame park in
 sight.  Added to this was the fact that there were not that many runners in
 each race (there are only 6 lanes on the 200m track so spaces are limited)
 i.e. no hiding place.  I ran a bit better than expected but unfortunately I
 finished last in both the 800m and 1500m (even though both were close to my
 old-boy PBs).  I did enjoy it and running indoors has a few novelties.  It
 is really nice to have a multi-lane 100m warm up area, with both this area
 and the track being nice and warm with no wind!  Most interesting though is
 the need to navigate a banked track on the bends.  This is fine on the first
 few laps, but when you get a bit tired, it is a bit tricky to keep from
 drifting off the track into the infield.  Still the camaraderie is strong,
 with lots of chat about splits and pacing afterwards; and some of those
 ahead of me in my age group were more disappointed than me as they were over
 1 min outside of their PB (3:43 at their peak for 1500m!).

 So all in all an interesting and enjoyable experience, which I might do
 again when a bit fitter, but not one for the faint hearted."
