Provisional Results

The Week Ahead 20 May 2013

A quiet week for a change. Mike is still Coach and the MCs are Vanessa and Sue.

Tuesday brings the first Leisure Ctre League road race of the season to Chepstow, to be followed in the Leisure Centre Bar by the presentation of the trophies from the Cross-country season. Make sure you stay behind after the race to applaud all the teams and individuals - quite a few are Chep members - and tuck into the buffet, which we're all contributing to.

The race starts at 7.30 at the top of Hospital Hill so allow time to jog from the LC. All members are encouraged to run. Just wear your Club kit, run your hardest, and collect your finishing position card at the end. Hand this to your Captain or whoever is collecting them before you leave the finish area.

Thursday's run is up the Wye Valley Walk (remember we swapped the date of this from next Thursday in place of the last Club Handicap, now to be held on 30 May - details of which will be posted next week). The bluebells in the woods just after Eagles' Nest look particularly beautiful at the moment especially in contrast to the soft green of the new beech leaves.

Rose Inn May 14th Results

Sorry for the slight delay in publishing the results for last night's first Rose Inn of 2013 but the wet weather caused us a couple of problems. We're pretty sure we've got it sorted now but let us know if  you spot any errors.
Results are here

The Week Ahead 13 May 2013

The Rose Inn series starts again on Tuesday. Have a good one if you're racing and thanks from all in the Club if you're helping.

Our MC on Thursday is Lou who'll be introducing Coach Mike and his new Paarlauf session. For this you need a partner who's about the same speed as you. You stand opposite each other in the middle of the straights. Runner A runs the half-lap to Runner B. B then runs the half-lap to the start point to which A has returned by running the shorter distance straight across the track. This continues for 45 minutes - so you don't want to start too fast!

And finally on Sunday it's the May Club Champs race - the Cheddar Challenge. See the CC page on the website for details, but note that it costs an extra £5 to enter on the day.

Race for Wildlife 10k - Sunday 12th May

This was not a Chepstow organsied race but we were in attendance to 'lend a hand' to our Gwent Wildlife Trust freinds - mainly with timing and getting the results sorted.
Official results will appear soon on the Gwent Wildlife Trust website, but here are the provisional results:

Thanks to everyone that turned up to help and run last night.  Particularly thank you to Syd who ran round to set the course up beforehand and then did the start and finish timings.

Well done Paul Mayo for your first win!

I have also updated the points table

This shows that Denise is currently in the lead for the series, but anyone in blue could win it!  The 2013 series title is completely up for grabs so don't let the opportunity slip. Make sure you run the next and last handicap on 30 May.

See you there!
