Top Cross Country - Ilford AC 10 miles - Hainault Forest - Saturday 20th December 2008| Name | Time | Position | | Manjit Singh | 1.17.23 | 38 | | Jamie Coombs | 1.25.53 | 58 |
Top Cross Country - Grovelands Park, Southgate - Sunday 14th December 2009| Name | Time | Position | | Ian Horritt | 32.15 | 68 | | Derek Wright | 33.32 | 95 | | Mick Wilson | 34.13 | 109 | | Edward Barnard | 35.18 | 128 | | Jan Soegaard Hansen | 37.09 | 148 | | John Atkinson | 40.59 | 183 | | Clive Jackson | 42.33 | 192 | | Don Bennett | 43.02 | 193 | | Ann Rayfield | 48.26 | 214 | | Carol Plaskowski | 51.26 | 219 |
Men: 220 finishers in the combined race, 157 finishers in the individual
race
Women: 220 finishers in the combined race, 63 finishers in the
individual race.
Grovelands Park was a muddy affair following plenty of
rain the day before. The course was changed slightly from last year to prevent
any lapping in the enclosed forest section, so consisting of 2 small laps in
the open park and 1 lap in the forest. The men fielded a complete team with a
few people missing meaning that even the backmarkers were needed to score. The
finishing order stayed pretty much the same as previous races with Clive taking
part in his 1st fixture this year helping us to a full team. The ladies were
again short of a full team but Ann making her debut on the cross country scene
for us and Carol both struggled through the quagmire to finish. The next race
will be on January 4th at the hills of Royston right after the new year. More
details to follow shortly.

Top Cross Country - Essex Vets - Claybury - 6th December 2008| Name | Time | Position | | Karen Levison | | 14 |
Well done to Karen for being the only East London Runner to compete in the
Essex Vets at Claybury and finishing in an excellent 14th position.
Top Lisbon Marathon - 30th November 2008| Name | Time | Position | | David daSilva Pereira | 3.12.00 (PB) | |
This is a great time for Dave who had to overcome a recent injury to run - and
a new personal best as well. As far as I am aware, the best Marathon time by
an ELR member since 2001!
Top Cross Country - Tewin/Digswell - Sunday 16th November 2008| Name | Time | Position | | Ian Horritt | 41.20 | 93 | | Alex Mortimer | 42.18 | 101 | | Derek Wright | 42.28 | 103 | | Mick Wilson | 44.17 | 128 | | Edward Barnard | 44.59 | 139 | | Steve Ward | 45.00 | 140 | | Kirsty Weston | 45.19 | 149 | | Jan Soegaard-Hansen | 47.42 | 179 | | Dave Knight | 49.48 | 205 | | John Atkinson | 51.44 | 217 | | Don Bennett | 53.57 | 234 |
267 finishers in the combined race, 181 finishers in the individual
race.
Men: Team 11th of 15.
Masters 13th of 15
Women: 86
finishers.
The Chairman failed to return, so you can ignore the blurb
above. A new start for Digswell as work on the field where the race usually
starts meant the race was started nearer Tewin. The rain came down, not heavy
but a steady drizzle making it muddy underfoot and of course there was
always "Heartbreak Hill" to contend with. But we had a good team out as 10 men
battled to be the 8 scorers and Kirsty was there as the only lady present.
Great runs from Ian & Derek again and first time runs from Alex & Steve on
their first league outings.
Top Cross Country - Broxbourne Pk, Cheshunt - Sunday 26th October 2008| Name | Time | Position | | Ian Horritt | 37.50 | 67 | | Derek Wright | 39.04 | 78 | | Mick Wilson | 39.52 | 88 | | Edward Barnard | 41.24 | 104 | | Kirsty Weston | 43.18 | 129 | | Jan Soegaard-Hansen | 43.48 | 133 | | Jimmy Hartwell | 46.06 | 160 | | Kirk Johnson | 50.55 | 200 | | John Atkinson | 47.30 | 174 | | Don Bennett | 52.51 | 217 | | Claire Barrand | 58.33 | 229 | | Carol Plaskowski | 58.42 | 230 |

race.
Team 10th of 15, 6pts finishers
Masters 12th of 15, 4pts
finishers
Female: Team 13th of 15, 3pts
The first race of the
season got off to a very good start. The men fielded a team of 9 and at the
same time it was great to see the women club members starting to put a team
together. This being thanks to Kirsty volunteering to captain for the womens
team. So ladies, no excuses of not having a captain this year!! The day started
with rain which persisted to the start of the race, during and after. The
conditions underfoot were good despite the rain, apart from the last lap when
some areas were starting to get a little bit muddy. Hope to see you at the next
event!!

Top Tiptree 10 mile Road Race - 12th October 2008| Name | Time | Position | | Paul Needham (The Whippet) | 1:08.09 | | | Mick Wilson | 1:08.44 | |
Paul started very well, going through the first mile in 6.30. Mike overtook at
2 miles as Paul slowed his pace, feeling he had started too fast. However, the
Whippet drew level on Mile 6 and the pair ran together for the next couple of
miles. The Whippet then pulled ahead of Mike at Mile 8 with an up hill section
looming. Both runners finished strongly and can be satisfied with their times.
This was a well organised race with a long sleeved tee-shirt at the finish.

This event was held in the wilds of Essex. The course was a two lap curcuit
starting from the Little Hamlet of Howe Street and following country lanes and
farm roads. A great time set by Simon, who is going from strength to strength
as of late. He was running on the day under the name of is second club Tiptree
Runners. He was following by Mike who was also very pleased, coming a couple
of minutes faster that what he thought. Great to see Steve running again.
(Steve is a long standing member of ELR, for the newer members of the club
that do not know him) Then came Kirk. The night was finished in Chelmsford
with a Chinese meal washed down by a pint or two.

Contacted by Paul (the Whippet) Needham who recently ran the Soham 1/2
marathon in 1.28.59, his best time for 15 years. As he put it, life in the old

Top Halstead Marathon - 11th May 2008| Name | Time | Position | | David daSilva Pereira | 3:25 | | | Edward Barnard | 3:47 | | | Mick Wilson | 1:50 (half distance) | |
Great times posted by David and Edward. Even more so considering the
temperatures reached on the day, further compounded by the course itself,
which is noted for its many undulations. Mike was somewhat out of salts on the
day and decided to complete only one lap of the two lap course.

Great times posted this year by ELR members who ran in the race. Particular
mention has to be made of Ian's performance, who since joining ELR has
represented the club at many events and manages to consistently turn in great
times. The course was reported to be very muddy with strong winds at certain
sections.

THE WIPPET MAKES GOOD. A great race result posted to me by Paul Needham. For
those of you that do not know Paul he is a long standing member who moved to
Ely. He is still a second claim member to us. Of course it was our patience,
training and perservernce with him that made him the runner that he is today.
All joking aside, well done Paul, great stuff!! As you are doing so well, it
will not be long before we are calling upon your services down this end of the
world.

Top Brands Hatch Half Marathon - 11th February 2007| Name | Time | Position | | Andy Warne | 1.39.25 | 85th |

Great time posted by Andy, especially as one third of
the course was off road and very muddy underfoot. Andy is also set to go on to
do the Great Eastern Run the weekend coming. As Andy is a new member to East
London Runners, it is great to see that he is flying the colours already. Well
done and thanks from ELR.
Top Benfleet 15 - 28th January 2007| Name | Time | Position | | Ian Horritt | 1.53.49 | 83 | | John White | 1.56.02 | 98 | | Mick Wilson | 2.01.10 | 146 | | Richard Mainwaring | 2.07.11 | 184 | | Jayne Pope | 2.08.49 | 196 | | Kayren White | 2.08.49 | 197 | | Dave Knight | 2.14.30 | 247 | | Frank Brownlie | 2.15.54 | 263 | | Kirk Johnson | 2.29.55 | 361 |
Some very good times were posted at this years race, with two of our members
obtaining sub 2 hours. Conditions this year under foot were really quiet good,
with only fairly short sections of mud. The usual stiff breeze was there to
make the run that little bit harder, but you cannot have it all your own way!!
Very good turn out for this race also on the same day the usual Epping Forest
run took place. It's good to see so many of our members active.
Top Stevenage Half Marathon - 5th November 2006| Name | Time | Position | | Andy Soar | 1:42:08 | | | Rachel Coombs | 1:51:17 | |

Top Chiltern Marathon - 10 September 2006| Name | Time | Position | | Kirk Johnson | >6:33 | 37
| | Jim Bird | 8:45 | 153

I can truthfully say that for me this Marathon was the toughest race that I have done in many a year. Being very warm and humid on the day didn't help matters much, but the main hardship was from the extreme ups and downs that the course entailed. Having said this if you like a run through great scenery this is the race for you. The landscape being a mixture of heavily wooded hills with fields on the less steep folds of the land. For our budding ornothologist this area is very well populated by Red Kites. I was told that this was the result of a very successful reintroduction campaign.

On the whole it was a good day, the weather was good. A bit hot at times but they had water stations on all the stages. What made it difficult was having only 2 support vehicles. Trying to get runners back to their vehicles and get others to their starting points and having cars at the end was hard. Thankfully John & Karen were on hand to get Miguel to leg 10 when Kirk's car was back at leg 8. Next year we will have to plan better. A bit more recceing ahead of the race and hopefully 2 teams.

Top Caesar's Camp 50 Miles Endurance Run - | Name | Time | Position | | Kirk Johnson | Awaiting results | | | Jim Bird | Awaiting results | |
The race started at 12 o'clock midday Saturday and proved to be somewhat more interesting, because the race for us would go into the early hours of the morning. The conditions for night running, navigation could not be better. Crystal clear skies and a full moon to see by in the areas of the course that were open. The course consisted of 5 laps of 10 miles. The going under foot was very tough, ranging from sand, mud and flint strew tracks. The profile of the course was a mix of short sharp climbs and descents throughout.

Miguel took our club colours with him on a recent home visit to run in a local race. As well as this he also obtained a brilliant time. Well done Miguel.
