We Have a World Champ!

Oh What a week that was! The Angel Flying

Jill Harrison, World Champion!

Jill travelled to Brazil for the World Masters and came away with the gold medal in the Ladies Masters 55 5000m in 19 minutes, an amazing achievement which makes everyone at the club very proud.

Well done Jill, Angel Felix to all her FB followers, the trip of a lifetime, the result of a lifetime, we are all proud to know you.

In from Mike Harvey,

Hi Terry, some really great results at the Exmoor Stagger and Stumble today. Conditions were really slippery and muddy after heavy overnight rain which made life a bit treacherous. I have the scars to prove it!

 In the 6 mile Stumble Rod Appleby was 17th in 58:45 and Richard Dodge was  46th in 1:10:29. Linda Membury also ran this in 1:23

The 15 mile plus Exmoor Stagger, incorporating 3,000 ft of climbing up to and around Dunkery Beacon, also hosted the UK Trail Running Championships. Sam Harvey, Simon Rowbottom, Lesley Nesbitt, Richard Boulter, Rose Harvey and myself all completed the course, the last four coming away with UK Gold medals for their age groups!

What with Jill's wonderful running in the World Masters it has turned out a pretty good week for the club.

All the best,

Mike

And From Captain Lesley, where do you get the energy Lesley?

Well done to everyone who ran today. Several of us from Yeovil did the Exmoor Stagger, 15.1 miles, although my Garmin said 16 miles - I obviously 'staggered' too much!

Lovely views, although rather cloudy so couldn't see Wales today, up to the highest point on Exmoor at Dunkery Beacon and down the other side plus two other nasty hills put in for good measure!

There were several awards to Yeovil runners. Rod Appleby, Richard Dodge and Linda Membury did the Stumble, 6.5 miles of hills. Taster ready for the Stagger next year Linda.

Excellent race at Abingdon today, 3:05 for the marathon, thanks to Paul Allen for the company on the first half. Feet, ankles and knees in a bit of pain, time for a bit of down time and relaxing, oh wait minute can't got PDT next week starting with mile and half fitness test at 0700 tomorrow. 

Paul Allen said Top day out at the Abingdon Marathon this morning for YTRRs...... 3:04 for me, 3;05 for Brynn and 3:3x for Bungy. Good job alround
