Just a last minute piece of news with a few more results
for the ladies:-
the Cutlers relay, a great event this year, with 30 ladies
teams competing (see results in Cross Country section).
The X-C season is upon us again with the first two
S.Y.League races having already been run. Sally, Claire and
Jenny all ran at Hillsborough — sounds a good deal more sensible
than bog—trotting in Galloway, a la Karrimoor. Rob Pearson has
details and numbers for the X—C races.
The Langdale fell race was the final championship race of
the season and had 520 entrants! An excellent turn—out of Dark
Peak ladies - Alison, Jacky, Claire, Gerry and myself and a
lovely fine day too. The race settled championship places; Jacky
came joint 3rd and Claire either joint 3rd or 5th (I'm not sure
which). Both very good. Anyway, I was very pleased to be 3rd
overall in the race.
The Cutthroat relay, the week after, saw Pete Dyke
enlisted into the ranks of the ladies to make up 5 teams
overall. Gerry, Claire, Kath and myself also ran as ladies
(really! —Ed) with Claire's team winning.
Jacky had a great success at Chesterfield in the marathon
finishing 1st lady again and broking her own record with a time
of 3hrs. 4mins. That's her second win at Chesterfield, the
first being in 1984. Diane Mead won in 1985, so that's three
yars in succession that Dark Peak ladies have triumphed.
Jane Spence, running for Highgate Harriers had a great
result in the National Road Relay Championships; they came 6th
team in a highly competitive event.
A form has arrived for the National X—C Championships,
10,000 metres, Sunday 11th January 1987 at Copthall Stadium,
Hendon. Who fancies a go? I believe we can enter six people —
if you fancy a bash, let me know by the beginning of December as
entries close Friday, 19th December. Only 'l.OO for the
experience of a lifetime!
What else is ther to look forward to? Marsden to Edale,
Headstone Headache, Last Gasp and, dare I say it, the Derwent
Watershed. Alison and Helen, partners in the Karrimoor, fancy a
go this year if anyone is interested.
Talking of the Karrimoor, Alison and Helen had a great two
days and came 1st ladies team in the A class. Jacky and I did
the A class too and after fighting against the elements on day
1, enjoyed day 2 a lot more. Mary and Dave Sant had a good run
in the B class. Gerry and Kay and Christine and Sylvanne Boler
(of the Gritstone Grannies) also ran the B class. Trish ran the
score class with Pete.
Ed - How about some of you other ladies writing something, to
save poor old Chez writing everything.
