British Airways BA Fun Run 25th July Thanks and ResultsThe BA Fun Run last Thursday went very well. A great big thanks to all of the club members who turned up to marshal including Alan Anderson, Alastair Heslop, Baljit Dhanda, Bill Byrne, BJ Singh, Chris Kelly, Dawn, Abigail & Madeline Taylor, Graham Taylor, Harry Wild, Helen Smith, Joe Nolan, Kathryn Richards, Neil Frediani, Paddy O'Shea, Paul Brandon, Piers Keenleyside, Simon Turton and Steve Taylor and again Chris Kelly who was up until 01:30 on Saturday morning going through the video of the finishers to try to determine the gender of all those who entered on the day for whom we didn't get details. I'm writing a report for next year of how the event went so that we can plan for it to go even better next year. Please remind me of what went well, badly or any ideas you had. I've obviously got some notes already and Joe Nolan has sent me the following photograph of Neil Frediani in marshalling action, holding back the crowd as the leaders approached:
ResultsThere were about 50 competitors in the Little Legs race. We didn't collate times or results, it was all we could do to get to our marshalling points before the kids did, but I've offered to produce a certificate for any Little Legs finisher. Little Legs Certificate The Fun Run results are on the website Full 2013 Results on a web page . There are a few gaps still and the results will be updated as information is sent to me. The highlights are:
Special mention has to be made for Kat who isn't even back from maternity leave but was still able to finish as first lady. I don't know how much money was raised for Cancer Research UK but I suspect that it will turn out to have been an impressive amount. More news when I hear. Roderick Hoffman Club Family parkrun Results for Saturday 27th July 2013
The WAVA gradings (which take into account age and gender) shows that we had some tight competition especially towards the back of the field. The performance of the day was at St Albans. Not by recent regular Richard or myself visiting but by a non-family member Hannah Walker who lapped me before I reached the 2k point and went on to win the event in a parkrun Ladies record time (across all venues) of 15:55. That's only a minute behind Paula Radcliffes' UK 5k road record and Paula didn't have to overtake me nor climb up onto the Roman Wall of Verulamium as one does on the St Albans parkrun course. Roderick Hoffman Next Club Featured parkrun - This Saturday 3rd August Upton Court, Slough 08:40 for 09:00If you haven't joined us for a club parkrun before then make this the one - register for free at www.parkrun.org.uk, print off your barcode and just turn up to run the 5k time trial - and don't forget to say hello to anyone in a BA shirt. The location of the Upton Court parkrun is The Rugby Club - Slough RFC, Upton Court Park, Upton Court Road, Slough SL3 7LT with a map and other details on this webpage - http://www.parkrun.org.uk/uptoncourt/course/ . Try to get there at least twenty minutes before the start so that we can have a club photo before we run. The car park is free, lifts are available (ask me or Steve Newell) and after the run we'll have a coffee, or even a late breakfast, in the Rugby Club. You may never look back. Osterley Park parkrunThe inaugural run of Osterley Park parkrun will be on Saturday August 31st. We have changed the club diary so that this date and venue can be a Club Featured parkrun. Rosenheim ResultsRosenheim finale – in more ways than one Wednesday 17th July say BAAC’s last involvement in this Track & Field
competition this season. In the last league fixture at Woking, the Epsom & Ewell
team narrowly beat us to take their place in this year’s final. We’ll just have
to stay home and watch it on the telly! It was also a significant finale for David Barrington of Kingston AC. He has
been the Rosenheim Western Division organiser for many years, but has chosen to
retire after a one year encore. Many of you will know him for his firm but fair
attitude, tireless work ethic and quiet good humour. He will be missed by the
league. For the record, the results on the night, and the full season:
And the Woking results: http://www.barunner.org.uk/results/Rosenheim_Woking_17July2013.xls Steve Hillier {Ed - Steve doesn't spell it
out but due to injuries and other absences he has been performing as a one man
BA team over recent events. Had he been able to do the relay at the last
event we might have made the final - thank you for trying Steve}. Right place wrong time
