SCVAC CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS - 20/12/09,  REIGATE PRIORY PARK

Our Annual Cross Country Championships went off very well at Reigate hosted by Reigate Priory A C , within the Holly Run, with a good turn-out despite the freezing weather and 3-4 inches of snow but bright sunshine. The distances were a bit short as the organiser's had to alter the course at short notice due to sledgers using our normal first hill! Athletics Weekly printed the full results the following week.
Many thanks to Robert Murkin for supplying the tent and giving out the medals, most winners stayed for the ceremony warmed up with mulled wine/tea/coffee and cakes.

SCVAC 10 Mile Road Race Championships (Epsom 10 Mile) 22 November 2009

All 5 runners fulfilled their potential and were a credit to the club. Yes it was a tough day, however Viestus, Geoff and John walked away with the classification prizes. Well done.

SCVAC Marathon Championships at Margate (Thanet Marathon) 6 September 2009

The results of the SCVAC Marathon Champs at Margate which incorporated the BMAF Champs have already been published in the autumn edition of Masters Athletics. However, we need to celebrate a number of very good performances.

First home for the club was Viestus Dude Vet Male 45 in a very good time of 2hrs 50mins.Viestus and I train together and he has become an outstanding athlete. Not far behind was David Worcester who was first Vet Male 55 home in an impressive time of 3hrs 03 mins. David was followed by Trevor Edgeley who ran the race of the day. Trevor and I ran together for twenty miles and when he raised the pace for the last 10k he disappeared from my attempts to run with him. Trevor ran 3hrs 05 mins as a Vet 60 which in my opinion equates to a sub 3hr performance had he run at London. Yes the day was windy but a great event.

All the SCVAC women did the club proud and returned home with well deserved BMAF Medals. I was impressed with Victoria Talbot Rosner time of 3hrs 33mins, Carol Emery time of 3hrs 40mins and Ann Bath’s 3hrs 56mins who ran 13 minutes quicker than last year at Anglesey. 

The race was an excellent event but I am always sensitive that I have missed a SCVAC member from the results. Apologies recorded in advance if I have made a human error.

SCVAC Half Marathon Championships (Burnham Beeches Half Marathon) 23 August 2009 

14 members finished the 29^th Burnham Beeches Half and we were led home by Sarah Gee .Sarah’s time of 1 -19 -29 was outstanding and the full results show that there were only 14 men in front of her and only one of these was older than Sarah .I was chased as usual by Geoff Newton and on this occasion I out sprinted him. Geoff is eight years older than me and he always wins in my opinion. Well done Geoff you have had an excellent season on the roads in Surrey. Again all the ladies showed outstanding ability with Lesley, Joy, Marion and Ann producing performances of a very high standard.

The Burnham Half is a very well organised race and I can not fault the promotion. I was also delighted that so many members were present at the prize giving and I was honoured to be able to present you with your medals assisted by my good friend Dave Beattie.
