Yomping into another Sunday

Greetings all, a busy Sunday with Snow down Yeovil way, a lot of rain, and very blo*dy cold!!

The Yarcombe Yomp

Matt and Richard were at the  Yarcomb Yomp today and Matt got a great 5th place, Nice one Matt and Richard got a 2nd vet 55.

Matt tells a great story of the race... 'Alex Todd, This is the guy who lost his trainer at the first gate at 400m, not to be fazed he continued on... On the 2nd lap he borrowed a trainer from a Marshall... and won the race. It makes mere mortals like me give up and try knitting..

I don't know Matt, 5th place is brilliant as far as I am concerned, even if it was the 1st position without a prize!!!

Results are here

5 and 10 mile races.

The Gilly Hilly

From Richard Dodge

‎Success" at the Gilly Hilly for YTRRC mens team 1st with the Van-Brooke family running in top form and me trying to beat a Dorset doddler after the yarcombe yomp the day before no pressure on the old legs.

The results are here

A few Yeovil members out in the sunshine doing the Ilminster 10k this morning, plenty of running water but not a snowflake to be seen. Results to follow when available.

I ran a very wet Lordshill 10 mile in Southampton, it was wet, very wet, calf deep in places. Suffered over the last two miles, Stickler hangover, but was pleased with 1hr 16m 13secs.

Its getting close, a few tickets left, don't miss out!
