A good day for Barnsley AC at the Shuffle, considering only 5 were brave enough to run today(or stupid considering the conditions underfoot). Jenny was first W50 home in the race on the day, Kerry 3rd Lady overall in the series and I was first M50 in the series.
It would be nice to see more Barnsley AC Members running next year. The dates are 3rd April, 19th June, 18th September and 27th November.
B....r Just realised I can't do the 19th June, that's blown it for defending the title.

September 08 for a tumour on the spine, luckily Benign. I thought I'd bored everybody with this story. I'll tell you about it next time I see you. I started running in 09 to get fit after a number of years inactivity because the tumour had affected my walking.

Must be nice to do these slowly like Half man half Sponge and Coach OAP so that you can take in all the glorious countryside and wildlife. Must be just like a sunday morning nature ramble for them.

Thanks to all Marshalls and Organisers.
Next year can we have more mud as I was beaten by everybody who I was in front of in last weeks XC Mudfest. The Little bit at the end is not enough. :-)

I've been trawling the net again and found this! Check out the guy who finished in 48th place:
http://www.championchiptiming.com/images/files/static/298Male.htm
Bloody amazing result, I hope everyone give him the recognition he deserves!
Will anyone be writing him a report for the Comical, as the last one for Dave Thompson was ridiculous for his level of achievement?!
A massive pat on the back for Mark's performance!

Well what can I ay. It was the hardest thing I have ever done by far. You all kno I have done many Ultra Marathons none compare. It is deemed the Worlds Hardest Mountain Race by the World Govering Body. It is called the hardest race by the World Chapion of Sky Running. I came 8th in the vets. Ony 24% of running finish it in time . You run up the mountain you gain 2500 meters to the sumit of which is 4093 meters over 8.7 kms. Before to do that you run 1.2km up a steep road and then you run up the mountain and the many steps. rocks and then the last 1.7 km is rope climbing.........The total distance is 21km and I can say if anyone is up for it I WILL ORGANISE it for next year. It is the World Championship of Sky Running. So all thse nterestedet me know???

Good luck to you, Mark, I'll be checking those results come the weekend! What will they call you afterwards, though? Pi(ron)eman? Ironpieman?Ironpie?
I'm just MRI man at the mo, awaiting my results to see what has prevented me from running for most of the year.
Incidentally, just wondered if anyone was interested in doing LEJOG in a few years to mark my 40th? It'll be either the first two weeks of the summer hols of 2012 or 2013. I'd like to do something monumental for the occasion like Mark is doing!

As I was on holiday for the last Spencers Dash in September and have only got this info secondhand - Can someone clear up the Ladies Series winner - it was in the Chron as Julie Buckley a lady veteran - But how could this be right as Wombwell Sporting A.C. Lady Veteran Gail Colville was well in front before the last leg and I do not think Julie did enough in the last leg to catch Gail up
Sorry to be a pain but it would be great to find out if the info in the Chron was correct or not
Many thanks ,

Hope Barnsley A.C. continues with the Spencers Dash next year - John Wroe and myself have chances of getting the 100 Dashes up next year !!!! I am on 94 , John is on 95 I think !!!
Still a long way behind Richard Hardcastle who has clocked up at least 115 !!!

Some say the description "GOD" hardly does him justice. To let you into a secret, I have been doing some special intensive "ALTITUDE TRAINING" at sea level around Mablethorpe. So just wait until I am back in Barnsley? - which will be this forthcoming week

i'm sure i'll get differing views on this but here goes..... if i want to be as good a runner as i think i can be, would taking up 11 a side football be a bad idea?? training on a wed and playing on a sunday. my calfs feel a bit sore the day after (maybe due to the fast sprints) and that cud effect my training on thursday..... the season doesnt start for a few weeks so there is still time to back out of the team
help please!

For a while (a long time ago ) ,I played football for my works team , ran 3 days a week and played squash as well - my fitness got much better but unfortunately the injuries came along - knees , hips -so I just ran from then on and did quite well in the late 80s
Stick to running , you could always ride a bike or swim as an alternative

The date for the 2010 Sheffield 1/2 marathon has been set for 25th April. This is the same day as London.
As August is usually a quiet time for races, something to do with the hot weather we are having, I have not had any notification of any events.
Some races are a bit slow to get their info to me, Percy Pud 10k for one should be starting to be ready for entries... that is if it is going ahead. As soon as I know something I will report it.

Went to this race again last night for the umpteenth time and the start had changed to slightly further down the hill -One of the starting team said they had measured it again and found out that it had been about 100 metres over distance for years
Can you believe that ??
Anyway I did my fastest 5kms for many years -Short course or did I have a flyer !!!!!!

There seems to be a mix up with theses relays, the original date was Wed 24th June. They could not have the venue and went for the Thur 25th. Then Totley AC told them they had their fell race on that day, so they changed it again to the Tuesday 23rd. This unfortunally clashes with a S Yorks track meeting at Woodburn Rd at Sheffield which is for senior athletes. In the summer months we are bound to get clashes
with something or other but I hope enough members attend this good
event and put our club on the South Yorks Map. There is a good bar
after the race,what else do you need !!

In very heavy rain, 137 runners set off at Elsecar. It was very cool and the course had lots of puddles. There were foods in the area and after the race on my way home,which is on part of the course,the roads were closed as the water was too deep for cars to go through. 6 members competed with Dave Thompson finishing 2nd.
The result was;
1 J Wanjohi Don AC 33.11
2 D Thompson BAC 34.01
26 K Mackenzie BAC 39.59 4th Lady (2nd Senior Lady)
40 T Vardy BAC 43.01
42 K Storrar BAC 43.06 6th Lady (2nd V35)
78 K Brankin BAC 48.09 11th Lady(2nd V45)
107 I Hudson BAC 52.34
