One Year On - Remember this, yes it was a year ago...

From the 1st Blog - 5th May 2012


The Dorset Villages Marathon... From Matt on the great relay contest:

"Team YTRRC Brooke Family" arrived looking fresh and strong, but armed with a thousand and one excuses! Son Orlando had clearly had enough and feigned a sore throat (acting being a strong skill in the family). Nick Brooke (Club Chairman) has had his foot amputated at the knee, or bruised his toe, can't remember which. Daughter Sophie was particulalrly strong with the banter and almost accepted a finiacial bet, but not quite.Meanwhile Flora was the only one acting suitable restrained.

"Team YTRRC Challengers" arrived rather nervously, and mainly headed for the toilet en masse. With Jacqueline Burns and Jackie Casey, relative newcomers to the racing scene, this was an evenly balanced out by old-timers Pete Jakeman and Matt Driver.

Brooke led after leg one, Challengers led after leg two. Leg three was held by Challengers, and then we all waited to see who would be wearing the Green and White first at the finish line. Oh, Joy!!! Challengers won and looked smug all afternoon! Bragging rights all year!

The Individual Entries

Well done to the other YTRRC runners doing the race solo. Some fantastic efforts out thereincluding Paul Rose who won his age category yet again. He was upset that the prize was a trophy rather than food! Kat did a stonking 4hrs 30mins in her first Marathon. Jacqueline Burns had a good run as did everyone who took part
