Running Report for January
January
started off slowly as all the off roadies were suffering with Steve
Wathall’s man flu passed on in the Baltic conditions at the Auld Lang Syne. However
Amanda, Charmian and Steve managed to rally enough to take part in a three
hour MTB Trail Quest in Sherwood Forest only for A & C to be struck down
with tonsillitis the following week. The
Howard clan were out in force at Tigger Tor (10m/1750’) with Charmian
bringing up the rear and then Max and Lynda had a back to back weekend
running Blakes Heaven (4.5m/1700’) from Lamplugh in Cumbria on Sat before
high tailing it back to the Peak district for the Mickledon Straddle
(13.8m/1980’) on the Sun. On the
same day Ross and Amanda completed the Kinder Trial, an 11m/2000’ navigation
event from Hayfield. Unfortunately
Amanda found a frozen molehill and picked up an injury which has confined
her to her bike and Ross to living with the horse until she recovers.
Fell Running Report for December
December’s events started off in new Zealand with Charmian Heaton
and Steve Wathall taking part in the Kepler Challenge, a 60km trail race in
Fiordland in the South Island. Then Charmian rushed back to Blighty to
partner Steve Woodward in a three hour biking orienteering event from
Grindleford in the Peak District. Next came a solo run by Steve Woodward at
the Stoop, a six mile fell run in Bronte country just before Christmas, and
then New Years Eve saw eight runners braving minus six temperatures on the
start line from the same venue at the Auld Lang Syne. Between Christmas and
New Year the Howard’s clan did a four mile run from Ambleside with Amanda
being first vet lady. To start the New Year three quarters of the Howard
clan, Ross, Max and Lynda did the eight mile Ovenden race from Ogden water
near Halifax on 3rd January.

=============================
A Fell Running and Adventure Racing Calendar 2008
It’s been a busy year for the off road section of Retford AC
which has gone from strength to strength in 2008 largely thanks to the
efforts of the Howard family who have been tireless in their pursuit of
local Peak district races in addition to some Lakeland classics.
