This Saturday (11th February 2012).

Gents – we are facing relegation so need to score well. Same venue again, Lloyd Park, Croydon.
Note: there are Engineering works on the TramLink so allow extra time to get there. The race is 3pm start this month.

Due to the icy weather Berrylands Special will be be cancelled tomorrow. If there is an improvement in the weather I will find out if the track is open and I will host a session there – if this is the case I will update the website by 3pm tomorrow.

With only one week to go until the big day I have now sent out details to all volunteers for responsibilities for the event. For those who are Marshalling I have emailed a detailed sheet for your junction which if you are unable to print to take with you on the day please let me know. Please ensure you have a copy of your sheet on the day as it has emergency contact details on it and the race referee may ask to see it.

Due to the snow expected to fall overnight, the Bookham 10K has been cancelled and the organisers of the Watford Half Marathon will be making a decision at 6am on Sunday as to whether the race will go ahead. Updates on the status of the Watford Half are being posted on the Watford Harriers webpage, so check if the race has been cancelled before you set off tomorrow.

Update: The Watford Half Marathon has now been cancelled by the organisers due to the snow.

You ‘Handicappers’ went mad on Wednesday evening!  Not only mad to run on such a cold evening, but, of the 37 runners who took part, 29 of you finished below or just seconds over your projected finish times, resulting in 12PBs and 4 SBs.

Maria Cenalmor was first home with a massive improvement of 1:21 on her previous best set in December last year. 2 secs ahead of Matthew Pritchard with a 0:49 improvement. with close finishing Steve Ramek and Laura Perry a further 13secs away with improvements of 1:15 and 0:59 respectively.

Jack Holland was fastest man with a PB of 16:55 and Alice Tozer fastest lady with 20:21.  Congratulations to John Matthews on entering the Mens Top 15 list at 8= with his time of 17:05.  It must be love, John!

I shall be emailing out details of your Marshal points and any other tasks that have been allocated to you over the next few days so please keep an eye on your inbox and if you can reply with confirmation of details and that you are still available to help out I would very much appreciate it.

Seems to have come round again quickly, but it’s the Club Handicap tomorrow and chances are that it’s going to be a tad chilly!

I hope this wont put you off running or indeed volunteering if you intend saving yourself for something at the weekend.

Attached are the January Analysis and the current points table. Natalie Randell holds pole position, having run all seven races, with Richard Goulder and Simon Gerrard close behind.

I hope those of you that bring various bits of equipment along are able to do so tomorrow.  See you all then.
